It’s fair to say they have stayed in Russia longer than we expected.
A quirk of the fixtures.
With their round of 16 the last game to kick off on Tuesday night this turns out to be their longest stay in a major competition away from home ever. 😂

I missed that so they lost.

Look Parrot if Ingerlund beat Columbia it will be a miracle. They are OUT!:-)Quote:

Even one of the commentators on the Croatia - Denmark game(was it Neville?) said England have a great chance of beating anybody in their half...Quote:

I don’t think saying they have a chance of beating anyone is arrogant is it? They do have a chance, Russia showed today everyone remaining in the competition had a chance of beating anyone.Quote:

There's a growing sense of dread that England will reach the final. They'll overtake Croatia as fave's from that side of the draw if they beat Colombia.
They need a lucky charm.Quote:
