Hopefully this is the last we see of Lahoz in this tournament, surely even FIFA aren't stupid enough to give him another game.

They are and so he'll get the final!

Van Gaal doing what Argentina did when they were ahead, just sitting back and inviting pressure.

I’m no fan of Southgate, but England have been the best team in the tournament so far. Very strong squad with a variety of play styles. There’s no difference in quality between France/Argentina/Portugal/England.

Better than France and Portugal ?

LVG will still be making notes,

Why is every challenge a free kick

I hate refs who want to be the centre of attention

 

[Lavinda Past]

Good hands.... for holding butter?

 

[Bluearmy]

I think that might be the greatest free kick I've ever seen.

Similar to

too soon…??

England have Luke Shaw and Slabhead in defence. That's the difference.

What have England done which is better than any of the other teans left in ? And also that World Cup group was the easiest group I’ve ever known so I dii on question. It . England have a good bench but it’s no better than Portugal or france .

Scored the most goals up to the quarter final stage. They’ve also played some good football when Southgate has took the shackles off. Our bench is no better or worst than Portugal or France.
