Not the most thrilling match so maybe the 2nd half should be called off? Nice goal for England though and Sterling was very unlucky. Twice.

Sterling wasn't unlucky for me. He panics when he gets in front of goal. No 'killer' instinct.

Pickford, Pickford, Pickford! Nice save against Sweden there. I've been at work so have only just started to watch (recording it though) and at least it's football that's being played rather that UFC! Not all this 5mins of arguing with the ref and faking injury on the floor like with Columbia.

First semi final in 28 years. 1990 was the last time. It'll either be Russia or Croatia. Oh my I so want them to win the next game and get to the final....but England have a habit of getting close but no cigar, hopefully the curse will be broke.

Wonderful match! No wrestling, pushing, dramatic staged falls etc.
Well done England!
Now - who will you face next week?

Well done England! Now - who will you face next week? ... and a game won fair and square with two honest, 'normal play' goals rather than penalties

Aww, it's a bromance
Croatia have scored their 2nd goal - one up on Russia - in the first part of extra time, but the game continues. Whatever happened to 'sudden death' when the first team to score in ET was the winner, end of?

Sorry to see Russia go out of their world cup which - politics and Putin aside - seems to have gone very well with ordinary Russians welcoming fans from across the world. And I hate penalty shoot outs - both sides tired and the pressure unbelievable.
Oh well, come on England for next week.

It has to be one of the best footie songs ever. I remember reading that, when it first came out, the German team used to like to sing it on their bus. They had to stop as they neared the stadium.
