To be excited about the World Cup 2

[LapsedHumanist]

Well, we’re in the last 16...

Belgium just have a brilliant generation at the moment.

I thought Belgium rode their luck tonight. Another day those just kisses and amazing saves would of been goals, thats knockout football though.

theyked amazing going forward but didn't look all that at the back.

Looked VERY tired towards the last 15 minutes of the game.

Anyone else feeling nauseous about tomorrow’s game?
My kids ( young @adults ) are so so positive England cannot lose- in their view- I’m so negative - is that a hangover from past experiance?
Or shall I just join in the frenzy?
Worries I’m putting the mokkers on things- although I do understand that I have no influence at all !!

Yes I'm so nervous but majorly excited.

This is the best chance we have had in years to get to at least the final.

This team oozes confidence and positivity and this has helped the nation get behind them for a change.

Eek the day is here!! I was in the army back in 2006 and didn't get to see the Portugal-England match as our OC decided it was more important for us to do a stretcher race at the time But I'm not missing this one! If we win today, i think we've got such a great chance of making it to the finals! Stave off Croatia in semis then meet Belgium again in the final? So exciting, come on ingerrland!!

I'm really nervous as well. Almost scared to hope!

about time we had something to celebrate I can't wait for later nervous already but confident as well COME ON ENGLAND

Hear hear gunnergirl!!

Looking forward to today, but regardless of whether they win or lose, I think we can all say that they've done great to get this far.

At this stage, there are no poor teams, but Sweden is as good a draw as we could have hoped for.
For the first time in a long long time, I'm actually a little bit optimistic.

Wouldn't really go as far as saying they've done really well yet, but they've certainly done us proud, and can only play who's in front of them.

I've warmed to Southgate - his rather 'boring' demeanour has actually worked well. No hyperbole, no drama, just doing his job.

Come on England!!!

I think if we had Sam in charge still it'd be a different story..
Hopefully we'll see a goal from open play..
Though it's good they can score from set pieces at same time teams won't always give away pens. Whatever happens been fun so far.

Happy for Belguim though!

It was good to see Southgate forgetting his boring measured demeanor when they won the penalty shoot out.

Come on England!

Fat Sam would not have played such a young team, Rooney and Hart would still be playing.

On the other hand it would have saved us Evertonians from a season of hell.

People who use the plural of Evertonian are to be treated with suspicion. There cannot be two of them!

One Evertonian in goal is all you need

Good point - well presented!!

He's been great has Pickford. Long may he continue!

Same starting line up as against Colombia

Getting butterflies now

Dont Jacques. My stomach is tying itself in knots. Not sure if its the nerve or the prosecco I drank last night.

This is it folks, this is it...
Come on you turnips!!!

Today, might be the day I vomit.

There they come! Come on boys!

Can't help but laugh when they get to Tierney during the national anthem, he makes Pickford look like a giant

Exciting times! Good luck England 😁
