Could be Englands great moment of glory before they destroy the UK with BREXIT.
Good luck to England tonight. The manager seems a decent fella, good young down to earth team, but,
God help the rest of us if youse bring it hame :eek

Oh well, we might as well give Northern Ireland back to the Irish as that will save this hard/soft border complication. Let Scotland have independence because one day they will actually get a majority and just rename Wales as England and be done with it. Then wave two fingers at the EU and sit there with a silly grin on our faces.
As for the football. I didn't see the England team play any football until the last ten minutes of extra time. The only pass they could string together was to the goalie, which was obvious as whenever they got into the Croatian penalty area they passed the back back down the field so the goalie could boot it back up again. Some kind of hit and hope routine from the 1970's.

Any team could have won. Kane hit the post at 1-0 for England. I'd say well done for both teams for reaching the semi-finals - who would have guessed?! Players are tired by this stage, with lots of bruises and injuries piling up, with little time to recover.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
nae luck boys, first decent team England has played, apart from Belgium and even then they didn't try a leg, as they would have had to play some decent teams.

They snatched defeat from the jaws of victory,
[color=rgb(68, 68, 68)] and as an ex Notts County supporter I know what that looks like [font=&]. Mores the point I wasted 90 mins of empty roads when I should have gone out on the bike and had a blast as I had intended to do [/font][/color]
