    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.

    It was more a nuzzle than a butt. Ludicrous that Henderson found himself on the floor, although I guess it got the ref to check VAR

    Content with that first half. Colombia look limited to counter attacks and long shots.

    You'll be content with a 0 - 0 and penalties then

    Remember when Beckham got sent off in 98 for a piffling non-thing? This was like that. Football has gotten more sensible

    These are dirty dirty . We need to start producing more quality in the last third.

    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.

    What the fuck did VAR say to the ref? "He head butted him but only a little bit - no need to look at the replay yourself though"

    Wife just said it wasn't a proper headbutt so not a sending off offence....LOL.

    Cuadrado bounced off Maguire trying to be the hard man there.

    Confident we've got a goal in us.

    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.

    That’s an actual joke how that’s not a red

    Clattenburg spot on there.

    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.

    Clattenberg is exactly right. The ref should have reviewed it.

    Clattenburg is correct... the fact that the referee hasnt even gone to check the decision is a joke

    These are dirty dirty cunts. We need to start producing more quality in the last third.

    This, we won’t score unless we improve in the final third. Sterling and Lingard, dross

    There are harder to beat without Rodriguez, because they are sitting deeper.

    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 ???

    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

    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.

    He might not need to if he can catch Maguire or Stones in possession.

    Interesting question who should have the final say, the VAR ref or the match ref.

    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.

    It ain't got nothing to do with the reaction, specially as the ball weren't in play. The intent was there, which means violent conduct, so red imo

    If an England player got a red for that, I'd have no complaints. You can't go swinging your head around at people. You're begging to be sent off.
