DeafParrot Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If we go and lose today (I mean we never beat the Swedes ) I really hope that everyone doesn't instantly turn back to hating on the England team like they have over the past few years. Its always better having the nation getting up like this, even if we're doomed to fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Sick with nerves :( Obviously everyone would have taken a noble QF exit before it started. But not now. Waited 28 years for a shot at a semi final where we are actually the heavy favourites and actually expected to win. Not only that but even if we get through we know we’ve got another game that’s very winnable. I will be crushed if we don’t make the final. None of this “oh well, Gareth’s brought the feel good factor back and at least we won on penalties” etc. This is our chance, this is our time. Just need the boys to step up and take it.

This is exactly the kind of game the old England would lose. I have major concerns about our tactics but I'm also confident we can win this. I don't see us being outplayed, but I can see where Sweden shut us out and then it'll be another penalty shootout. Could be a long afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 QFs was the most I expected from this WC really as I expected us to be facing Germany or Brazil etc this round, if not the round before, somehow we've avoided them all though so to go out to Sweden in the Quarters would be very disappointing really. They're obviously very good at what they do but c'mon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm geniunely disappointed with the number of English fans on the stadiums. But that seems to be the trend now with every country. For as long as I can remember, there was at least 20k English fans on every WC/EURO game and now when you guys are actually doing great, you can barely hear any songs during the game.

Yeah, I heard it at the end of the game, but I'd still expect at least 15-20k on the stadium for a QF game. That's what I always admired English people for. They didn't care about decades of failure, always showed up in huge numbers, but by the look of things modern football killed it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't feel right. Possibly a Croatia-England semifinal, should be like 20k of each in the stands, and instead we'll have theatre atmoshpere. Hell, if someone told me 10 years ago that I wouldn't care about Croatia getting in the semis of WC and that I would have no interest of finding a way to get a ticket, I'd laugh it off.

Weezer Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I feel like the remaining teams are just risking injuries and tiredness of important players before the start of the new club season, it would be fairer on everyone if they just ended the tournament now and gave us the trophy.

But here we are. Theres been a late mad rush to get to Russia from some fans who previously elected to stay at home, but most can't afford it or get can time off. I imagine if the Spartak fans do cause trouble outside the ground at the semi final and England get through, you might even see less England fans at the final than at the semi final. It's weird in that the whole country has gone World Cup crazy, but theres not much desire or ability to go to Russia for political and logistical reasons.
