Thought Sterling did well today for most of it tbh. Definitely better than Lingard.

I fully expect England to ruin Sweden now. I know they’ve got a pretty average record against them in the World Cup but in getting to the final, I think that was THE hurdle. No one in that squad will have any doubts about themselves now and as well they shouldn’t. Looking at the other teams in the tournament as well, no reason they can’t do it. Scouse not English

Look at what happened so far. Knockout football is really fucking difficult. The time for dissection isn’t now I don’t think. Just move on, we were the better team and we should beat Sweden. Hard to change much else in the meantime.

No game at this stage is easy. Sweden will sit back and soak it up and we've created very little from open play. Alli, Sterling & Lingard all need to improve big time. Positive is of course you take huge momentum into Saturday, negative is it's going to be nearly 40 degrees apparently and we've just done 120 minutes. It's a major mental barrier but I don't see Sweden gifting England penalties the way they've played so far!
But as you say, four days not much time to change things, got to get on with it.

I reckon Russia beat Croatia. I’ll be praying for anyone going to that semi.

Russia will be knackered and largely relying on a defence of over thirties. Spain played into their hands with slow football, Croatia won't do that with Perisic and Rebic.

I’m not against Sterling but this formation doesn’t suit him at all. Something has to change there.
But if you’re ever going to get excited do it now. England have Sweden then Russia/Croatia for the World Cup final. I’m in London for citadel festival for the final, hopefully there’s someone to watch us win the World Cup with.

More interested in why they’d support England for 20 minutes then change their mind

Where have I changed my mind? I still want them to win the World Cup I’m just never gonna call England ‘we’. If there weren’t any Liverpool players in that squad I genuinely wouldn’t give a fuck.

I know none of you will agree with me on this either or call it justice for the headbutt but I haven’t seem anyone comment on how lucky Ashley Young was to stay on the pitch. Over the ball, studs up on his ankle, it’s a red all day long
Bit irrelevant really, just hadn’t seen anythin about it on twitter even
