That whistling is getting on my tits.

Come on England!

MissionItsPossible · 03/07/2018 19:29

Fight fight fight! Blush

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 03/07/2018 19:33

That was unneccessary.

GingerKitCat · 03/07/2018 19:34

I'm too scared to watch and jinx it! How's it going! I did watch about 10mins and the Colombian side seemed to be up to no good, grabbing England players and so on. Perhaps I misunderstood Confused

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 03/07/2018 19:41

These Colombian players are taking lessons from Brazil, cheating arseholes.

JacquesHammer · 03/07/2018 19:41

See again I think Henderson went down too easily and the resulting shoving detracted from the initial offence.

That should have been a red though

GingerKitCat · 03/07/2018 19:42

I started watching again, is headbutting allowed?! I thought there was going to be a fight on the pitch Shock

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 03/07/2018 19:42

Colombia obviously think it's acceptable to do that.

MissionItsPossible · 03/07/2018 19:45

FFS cheating arseholes

MissionItsPossible · 03/07/2018 19:45

England just needs to not react the best they can

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 03/07/2018 19:46

They are seriously pissing me off now.

alibongo5 · 03/07/2018 19:50

Looked like a red to me. Delle Ali hasn't been in it and now looks injured. I think RLC should come on for him. Colombia aren't playing nicely are they?

MissionItsPossible · 03/07/2018 19:51

IMO England were the better team in the first half despite the best efforts of cheating from the other side 🤬

WhiteHartLane · 03/07/2018 19:51

Tbf if Henderson didn't go down the other player would've escaped without punishment as the ref didn't appear to see it.

Fingers crossed for an early England second half goal.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 03/07/2018 19:52

Colombia are purposely trying to rile England.

England have played well, we just need to up the pressure now.

Sharkwithknees · 03/07/2018 19:52

Helllllllp, I'm trying to watch the match and all I'm getting is white noise through my sky box, any techy geniuses able to help me fix it in half time??? Sad

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 03/07/2018 19:53

Guess can blame the ref if it goes wrong. Haven't been bad just nothing amazing. Need to get a early goal and build on that.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 03/07/2018 19:53

Is the scart lead in properly?

GameOfMinges · 03/07/2018 19:55

That was 100% a red. If Henderson dived, which tbf he did, then a yellow for simulation as well is the appropriate response.

FawnDrench · 03/07/2018 19:56

In danger of deteriorating into a dirty shambolic game.
What a pity, we started so well.
All downhill for the last 20-25 minutes.

Columbia players need a stiff cold shower at half time to bloody cool down.

Columbia have learnt from watching England play set pieces and are like a brick wall in the box. So big and strong and hard to get past.

Hope the second half is better and that tempers don't spoil the whole game.

MissionItsPossible · 03/07/2018 19:57

@Sharkwithknees

Turn it off, unplug everything including the leads, put them in again tightly, restart it and hope for the best! If it doesn’t work, radio, or are you also connected to terrestrial tv without sky and can turn to ITV?

MissionItsPossible · 03/07/2018 19:59

FawnDrench

But on the flip, England has been playing towards that wall consistently and worrying them, it did fall apart at the end though, don’t know if it was tiredness or sick of Colombia’s grabbing and pushing and decided to retaliate

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 03/07/2018 20:01

England need to bring it down, keep on pushing. That fall we crack, certainly if they the keep doing stupid shit like headbutting.

I see a red for Colombia.

MissionItsPossible · 03/07/2018 20:04

I see several reds for Columbia if Gareth Southgate calms them down and implores them not to fight back.

Can someone tell me wtf that Colombian official did to Raheem Sterling (I think?) they keep referencing it but I didn’t see it.
