I also agree there should be more shot feints in general in football. Too many players these days shoot on first sight, rather than selling a dummy to a sliding defender then opening up space for a shot on goal. Obviously an infinitely lower level, but I have used the dummy/feint when shooting...

Have turned it off now, far too tired to concentrate. Will keep up with last 10 mins on livescore.

I rate him from what I have watched, just noticed he has a bit of arrogance about him lol. I am not gonna make it to full time/pens, eyes shutting.

Seems a bit big for his boots too. The lad doesn't lack confidence that's for sure.

Yeah they are mate. It's good to see people believing in them as Colombia have been good this tournament.

Really? Cheers, so neither then lol.

Anyone who speaks German know if it's pronounced dUHsseldorf or Dewsseldorf. I always said the latter but the English news and pundits keep saying the former. I could google it but it's been winding me up. Dewsseldorf sounds a lot better to me.

Turkey did everything but equalise. Commiserations as they were good most of the tournament. Can the Dutch stop Southgate and his band of bellends? We will see.

Agreed, good man

It's amazing how this guy gets away with doing absolutely nothing stats or eye test wise - in every game Portugal have been eliminated in in 10 of the last 11 major tournaments.

LOl at the comment beneath. These Ronaldo worshippers are clueless. Plus Ronaldo missed a great chance when he came on.

They're gonna maggot their way to the trophy, aren't they? :lol:

Good points. I agree. It is stupid.

England tend to mess up penalties to be fair.

It's mostly cos I am Scottish :lol: And the arrogance of the media, but a lot of national press is like that, including our own. English people I know and English people in general are great.

To be fair England have been better in this game than earlier in the tournament. They're still not exactly prime Barca or Brazil 70 though.

Not a single goal in the first half of any of the three QFs so far. Will NED-TUR buck that trend?

Ok, well I won't pretend that some of your terminology hasn't made me feel uncomfortable. But you have explained your thinking. I still think you shouldn't use some of the pejoratives you do, though. The thing is I am not young. But I am starting to think I have just been hopelessly naive all...

I am hoping I have jinxed them. Normally when predict a team I dislike to lose, they end up winning. I have gone for an England win today. Of course what I predict has zero bearing on the final result. But still.

Fair enough. Nationalism is something I believe can be a very good and uniting force, yes. However, I am playing devil's advocate. Many people would argue that nationalism is terrible as is the concept of segregating the planet into geographically and politically defined borders. I am not one...
