Crikey! I found that nerve wracking, imagine being one of the players. eeek:I feel like I've aged a hundred years. Weird game though, once Colombia stopped fouling so often they were the better team but they should have been down to 9 men by half time so it's the right result.
Worryingly we don't have the best of records against Sweden but the form book doesn't get to kick the ball

Yes the better team won on the night. Modric was head and shoulders better than Ali, Henderson and Lingard and we didn't have the quality on the bench to make enough impact. But no one should think we were anything but very good, far better than the sum of parts and only just lost to a very good team at its peak
Waist Coat shares will take a hammering tomorrow
