what's the thoughts behind it Gassy....can't be fucked trying to work it out.
Well for whatever reason, I didn’t look at it that way.

I was so focused on England Vs Colombia it didn’t even enter my head until it was spelt out for me

Spain so passive and slow .

Our half of the draw is so open ..

Even more reason why we won't win tomorrow then !

I'd say it was obvious. Either it'll be England's first major tournament final appearance since 1966 or if it's one of the other 6, it'll be their first ever. As in, it'll be a very special achievement and occasion for whoever makes it.

My thoughts on Spain passing it wearily between their centre midfielders and full backs are best summed up by Shania Twain's 90s hit, That Don't Impress Me Much.

Spain going for the 4-6-0 formation, playing no natural strikers. Are the Russians planning to....you know....attack at all? Or are they hoping for penalties?

must admit it wasn't obvious to me JJ but in my defence I'm on the spiced rum and coke mate.....:lol:

I thought for a period (short, mind ye) that they were upping the pace but reverted to type it seems.

Iniesta still Spain's best player and the only bloke willing to make something happen.

What are they going on about both managers having used all their subs for, I thought teams could make a 4th sub in extra time at this World Cup?

What exactly is Russia’s game plan, try and get it to penalties?

Everyone praising them but I don’t get it.

This is how England should be playing.

Russia will fall apart in extra time. Not fit enough.

There is absolutely no point to it. I wouldn’t mind if they actually showed any ambition going forward but they’re playing like they only need a point to progress from the groups and now they look knackered. They won’t survive another 25 minutes.

Unfortunately, only a matter of time. Russia offering absolutely nothing. I can't stand Spain but only one team deserves to win this.

Surely there's better attacking quality in Spain's ranks than Aspas?

Still ten mins left yet, but they've defended excellently and look comfortable so you can't exactly say it's not working.
