foolsgold Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 How much of a bloody comedown is this going to be if we lose to Colombia . Although if we beat them, I will genuinely begin getting quite excited... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluedave Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Obviously it's coming home. Goes without saying. Get that out the way first. But I am absolutely bricking it over tomorrow. The fact that the draw has opened up kindly for us hasn't helped. It impossible not to start looking ahead which you know is a bad idea. I'm sure the team is just focused on Colombia. If we win that though I could easily see a swing in confidence. Ending that 12 year knockout game drought would be massive for the belief. As an England fan we kinda expect the worst too when we get to this point so even for the fans a win would make such a difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestbrother Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Colombia are pap. Japan stuffed them, they beat a poor Poland and scrapped by the other team....Senegal was it? England on the other hand beat Africas finest, marmalised Panama and threw a game by playing our stiffs. Its a mismatch in our favor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony85 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hopefully Southgate has learnt from the last time the draw opened up for him. Man Utd and Chelsea knocked out the day before. Just beat a Cardiff team a division below at home and you're into a semi-final against Portsmouth, WBA or Barnsley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007–08_FA_Cup#Sixth_Round_Proper I was obviously convinced it was Coming Home till someone reminded me of that this morning. I need a pep talk from someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigcwwe Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Absolute golden opportunity for us here, likely will never open up like this again. We're so going to lose to Colombia on penalties now.

It was definitely released for Euro 96 though and since then it has probably stayed as our real national song just because it's a great song and the context isn't even thought of, everyone uses it / thinks of it as a major trophy is coming home instead. 1 hour ago, Readingfanman said: Isn't the song "It's coming home" because football was "invented" and actually developed into a sport in England? Yeah that is what the song was based on it's kinda two fold how you read into it though either A) Football ie a major tournament is coming home or B) a major trophy is coming home, listening to the song though it's definitely the former in my eyes which means football definitely isn't coming home this year unless this thread has a loads of Russians in it, I am aware everyone else is taking it as option B though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, England have already made progress compared to 2014 anyway. But I'll be happy either way tomorrow, if Colombia win it will be a fellow South American winning, and if England win, it will be interesting to see how far they go.
