Hilarious, England winning a shoot-out in a major championship, let alone a WC. Deserved to win based on the 90 mins, but ET was garbage.
Kane and Mina the best players. England's attacking midfield of Sterling, Alli and Lingard was atrocious. Stones pisses me off with his constant trying to show his game, causes risks all the time. It'll be undone against a really good team....well England can't really play one until the final. That's the breaks. This is a big mental hurdle for the team, even if they don't look all that great, if I'm being honest.
The American ref was atrocious. Stevie Wonder could have seen the penalty call (wtf is up with the grabbing at this WC?), but he let players bully and dictate for the 90 mins, especially Colombia players. Barrios should have been sent off for his headbutt then about four times after that for a second yellow, Mina spent the whole game screaming in his face, then Falcao, and he let Carlos Sanchez protest the penalty for about 3 mins. Spineless showing. If the ref loses control he might as well walk off the pitch.
England won't get a better chance, but there are things about this team that seriously don't convince me. And let's be honest, this Colombia are absolutely mediocre.
