And another game - Croatia v Denmark - to be settled with a penalty shoot-out; hope there's not too much of that in this knockout stage of the tournament!
PS - Japan in the final?? |

Very impressed by the 'keepers. Wish the pundits would stop describing the Russia match as thrilling - bored the pants off me

I don't like penalties deciding matches. How about a 'dance off'?  |

...one hell of a TV studio on ITV. Should win some sort of award. Schmichael saves 3 penalties and still ends up on the losing side.

That game reminded me of flying. Fear and excitement bookending hours of boredom......

What a game. Japanese players must be distraught. Their fans are now cleaning up their rubbish.

Do you think all the upsets are a warning to the English commentators?
It’s the pundits that annoy viewers in my experience, unless players dive the viewers don’t get annoyed but when the commentators say stupid things like “England are showing this team how to play” it makes you irritated.
I think the press are cruel to players especially when they miss penalty’s so I don’t have any ill feelings to the England players but someone needs to muzzle the idiots in the press.
Are Columbia a good team or average, I have no idea.

That is where the problem lies with many Scots. They wish the England team nothing but good - but accompanying media scrum is SO OTT it is embarrassing.
Good match, felt sorry for Japan.

That second half was definitely worth watching! Surprised me how the Belgians came back after being 2-0 down - fair play to them, and to Japan who appeared to give it their all. Will now be rooting for Belgium to beat Brazil on Friday...

Dreadful ref in tonight’s game. Hope English team keeps calm.

Anymore to come?
