Thought the 'headbutt' was a yellow myself. If Neymar reacted the way Henderson did, everyone here would be saying it was embarrassing and he should get on with it etc etc.
I agree, and I'd like to stress that I am supporting England here
Ffs first time i have ever agreed with Callumc and Leuth...

I retract my opinion. It was a definite red. Ref should've gone to specsavers.
The ref is very weak, you can see what way this is going fucking dirty cheating Colombians, yank ref. What the fuck do they know about proper football.
need to be careful on these corners with them breaking on us
This. It's their only gameplan. I think we sussed that out early on though and have been quick to get back in front of them, sit a bit deeper into a back five.
Cuadrado worries me though. He's so quick on the press. One false move and he's going to be away, and through on goal.
Colombia look petrified of us at set-pieces and are doing everything they can to disrupt us and slow the game down. They look tired and worried. That should have been a red card for the headbutt on Henderson, no doubt.
We need to get Sterling on the ball more, he's looked promising and can cause them problems.
Would like to see Lingard and Henderson get involved and on the ball more too.
Definite Red Card, the initial headbutt to the chest was a yellow but the violent flick upwards was intended to hurt Henderson and is therefore violent conduct, should have been a red card and the free kick from where it was as the ball was out of play.

Ref has absolutely bottled it and is never going to pull Colombia up
We were never going to play the Colombians off the pitch but we are controlling the game for long periods and chances will come in the second half.

I said 50/50 at KO and it's still the same odds.
Can the guys who think that was only a yellow please explain ???
The dodgy refereeing decision? Check
England start brightly then start to run out of ideas? Check
Player carrying an injury? Check
It will need a very un-England like performance to turn this around. And we have been waiting 22 years for that
