(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll say this about Sweden: they were so much better to play against than Colombia. Just...not c***s. Good spirit.

Congratulations my English friends. You were without a doubt a better team this match. I'm still extremely proud that this team even got to the World Cup, and even in the top 8.

Good luck in the semi finals.
---

It's amazing to me how many Tottenham players are littered through the squads of the remaining sides. I even count Modric tbh.

It really shows why they've ascended above Arsenal. World class talent all through the side. :/

And England's tournament chances continue!

Also, Group G first and second places remains intact with both Belgium and England advancing!

If you count Modric like I do it's 4/4.

Congrats to Sweden for a good cup and for having some of the world's most beautiful women. Still need to visit Stockholm one day.

one of the English chants vs Sweden is

"You're shit, but your birds are fit! You're shit, but your birds are fit!"

Quality.
---

The English fans singing their national anthem at the end almost put a tear in my eye. What a heritage.
---

i'm pretty sure three lions (football's coming home) is about to become the national anthem
---

Sterling gonna score next game.

Alli had a chance in the last game almost exactly like his goal, and he got the chance again this match.

Sterling will get one in the semi final.
---

Would give anything to be over in England right now. Flat Iron Square is where I'd go.
---

All told I think Sterling wasn't that bad. He worried Sweden with his pace. Won the corner we scored from

Shocking miss right before halftime though.

He puts that away the game is effectively killed. Can't afford to be that profligate going forward.

I wouldn't bench him though like that idiot Lalas was suggesting.

This has been such a fantastic World Cup that the most negative thing I can pinpoint from it all is that multiple players have done Fortnite themed goal celebrations.

Why

Better question, when will we see Mario Strikers themed goal celebrations?

There was the ridiculous one Griezmann did after his Penalty against Argentina and Delle Alli's thing today.

I don't play Fortnite so

This is the only celebration I would do if I was a footballer, the "WAH-WAH-WALUIGI" included.

You dirty Russian swine have a lovely national anthem
---

Everyone went MENTAL following that win!

Now, if Croatia can put the hosts out, it's a perfect Saturday.
---

Not gonna lie, that was a great goal.
---

Croatia back in this bitch!
---

So how do you think Sir Harry Kane sounds?
---

^ Pretty fucking sweet.
---

I know everyone was like "Croatia got this for sure", but everyone thought the same about Spain. Russia can just as well win this.

Croatia's excellent results on paper really overhyped them. They're pretty good and they might very well win this, but they should've never been clear favorites, and it's even so far too. Even in their most convincing victory they weren't even the best team until the opposition's goalkeeper.
---

Does anyone have a more beautiful goal than Cheryshev did last half this cup? None spring to mind immediately.
---

That DeBruyne goal Yesterday was a fucking bullet. Not Supes coulda stopped it.
---

Those two are different though. Lukaku was highly responsible for DeBruynes goal.

Cheryshev did so much work there there himself leading up to it and finishes so brilliantly that Subasic doesn't even move.
---

Too close for comfort!
---

Okay, I did not expect Cheryshev to be subbed out.
---

Belly SLAP
---

Boy talk about a turn in fortunes...
---

Russia literally gonna win on a freak accident
---

He doesn't look to be in too bad shape, but I suppose that's hard to tell.
---

*dainty little kick* Ow
---

^ At least he didn't do the Neymar

Somewhere in the club tonight, some fool probably gonna be doing that in the middle of the floor!
---

This is turning into Mutant League Football, Croatia is going to lose via too few players left alive
---

Croatia would have deserved it if he did score, that was godawful defending.
---

Wooohoo!

Come on!

Just one more!
---

Ohhh snap!
---

There's still 19mins to play!
---

That was a clumsy goal.
---

Every player on Russia watching the ball: Buuuuuuh?
---

Still feel likes PKs even after that Croatia goal for some reason.

The better team is winning

Thank you.

Croatia is a gutsy ass team, between the last game that just went *forever* and now this one where everyone is injured
