Dele Alli the wizard. Invisible until he's not. PELE ALLI
Great football though by England here. Putting Sweden to the sword.

Pickford has made two top class saves so far.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Phenomenal second half performance from England. If you discount the obvious names from that match you can credit Ashley Young, Lingard and Harry Kane. Young given the stature of the match had arguably his best performance in an England shirt, an absolute workhorse. Lingard the same, was constantly moving the ball forward. Kane didn't score but his passing and IQ were just off the scale.
England can give absolutely anyone a run for it with performances like that.

28 
Unless you're referring to Euro 92 which I've just been informed of. But I thought the key stat was 28 years since England got this far

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Wow, what a headline. I'm not old enough to want revenge for that. I can see the amusing side though bet it wasn't that amusing at the time.

Croatia or Russia? Can imagine the media frenzy if we get Russia.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Can't say either of these bother me that much. Russia would be the easier of the too though. They won't get away with camping in their box against us.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
England will be up for Croatia. I think Lingard, Sterling and Trippier will give them a nightmare. Mark Modric out of the game. England will get more chances going forward than we did against Sweden. Croatia won't sit back and they'll be open at the back. The way they've played tonight I can see Kane getting through the middle all night if Sterling and Trippier drag it out wide.
England will naturally be favourites to win but its also a chance to dish out some revenge for that McClaren Euros failure.
If their keeper flies out like that against England though he'll get punished.

OH MY. This is a story.
That marking has England licking their lips. They will fancy either of these two. It's coming home.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Absolutely amazing. I'm nearly rooting for them to win. The atmosphere. If Russia score again though.
---------- Post added at 21:39 ---------- Previous post was at 21:32 ----------
One hell of an atmospheric shoot-out incoming.
Again, absolutely confident England will punish either of these teams. England will batter Russia with balls into the box until the breakthrough comes. If its Croatia we'll see a repeat of Sweden with more attacking intent from Croatia, leaving them far more open than the Swedes. If Sterling can sort his final play out...
