    No way do one of the top 6 not buy Maguire, he’s everything you need from the modern day CB (even if he doesn’t look like it)

    I was surprised that none of the big 6 went for him when Hull went down
    Well he did go to the then Prem Champions
  • Prices of flights to Moscow on July 15th have just jumped hugely. Something going on that day?
  • Agree with Valley Gary above, Macguire simply awesome. Thought the England fans were outstanding as they have been in each game; even though outnumbered by Columbians they came through loud and proud. Have to laugh at the Russian TV crews though, as they don't like putting the cameras on the England fans. Quarterfinals was the best I expected and so I'm sort of treating this as a cup final. Reckon it will finish 0-0 and go to pens again

    Just wow!

    Never thought I’d see the day.

    Big respect for that bunch of relatively young and inexperienced players at that level.

    To deal with a dirty, niggly, cheating team like that, an away game atmosphere, plus deal with that sucker punch at the end of 90mins and have the mental strength to win a penalty shootout. Fair play. Really really like Southgate and everything about his approach and philosophy.

    Now in a very awkward position on what to do as I have a semi and final ticket. Flight prices are only going on way and will go through the roof after Sat if we win. Big expensive gamble may be needed now! Got to beg work for possibly a week or more off. Decisions fucking decisions!!

    a) there weren't many of them
    b) none were dressed in exotic fancy dress or doing wild drumming/dancing
    c) none were "fit birds", and instead were mainly middle aged men :smile:

    I thought I saw Baddiel in the Colombia crowd wearing a Valderama wig.

    Fair play Iceland. Maybe I don't dislike them as much as I did a few weeks ago they have won me over.

    It’s happening.

    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

    You got your un-England like performance. And in a shootout too! Brilliant!!

    Not only have we won on penalties but the Breathable Ice Silk Boxers advert is back.

    Incredible tension throughout extra time and penalties . Hold your head high Eric Dier .

    I think the way we played in the second period of extra time helped the morale going into the shoot out because we were awful in the first period.

    i can understand your excitement, but do we really need to know that?

    Didnt get shown on ITV yet credit to Henderson to do the BBC interview after missing
  • Only just seen a proper replay and i know it didn't count for much as they scored immediately after but what a save from Pickford in the 92nd minute.
  • Good job I’ve got my lucky pants on.
