The world cup

Wouldn't blame him if he did. He's not a first-team regular after all. No real upside for him.

On Twitter, @Bet365 suggested Vardy was injured;


Jamie Vardy was due to take England's fifth penalty vs Colombia but strained his groin in the latter stages of extra-time.

Well of course he did!

Memories of England v Colombia:

First time I've seen ALL England's players singing (or miming) the anthem. Yeh it's a terrible dirge, and it's impossible to get passionate about. Rule Brittania would be better for passion, but defo politically (and now factually) incorrect.

Incred how the Colombians' plan A was to be wreckers. As others have said, amazing how none got sent off. The head-butt was a nailed on Red.
Harry Kane put in a truly world class performance. I'd be happy to have his babies.

Gareth (yes, I feel like he's a mate from the pub) Southgate is continuing to impress as England's best manager since Venables. Quite remarkable that he's instilled all his beliefs in a team of highly paid individuals who must have entered the training camp with that burden of 50+ years of hurt and the crippling psychological fear of penalty shootouts to overcome.

Oh, and the curse of ITV has been snubbed. For now.

Come on England. Now for the Swedes.

I cannot believe Colombia are 3/1

Obviously want England to win and would have them slight favourites if James Rodriguez is out but there's not much in it really surely?

I read that England have gone off favourite for every single world cup finals match they have played since the 2002 world cup. Including Germany in 2010

As extra time has to be a possibility the 6/4 Colombia to qualify really appeals https://www.oddschecker.com/football/world-cup/colombia-v-england/to-qualify

England are 1/2 in that market. I might even venture an exclamation mark at that price...

Someone else can give me the other view please....why England at 6/5 is the bet.

I know this is a gambling forum so naturally people gonna speculate on prices... but it amazes me how people think that worldwide markets and exchanges with tens of millions being bet on every match have got these prices so wrong. Colombia were awful in the groups, got lucky to beat Senegal, lost to Japan and beat a woeful Poland. And their best player is injured.

As with all WC matches, the prices were probably about right, with between 1 and 5% edge to the bookies.

Oh, and COME ON ENGLAND.

Had 3 week old baby in the beer garden with us, didn't bat an eye lid of course but I'll tell him about it when he's older. Top England memory lifetime, and probably 2nd best all-time football memory behind Istanbul. #itscominghome

I don't really like watching football with other people..son and nephew excluded so last night I sat watching on my own while my wife and a bunch of neighbours had a barbecue drinks and watched footie next door. I had to watch the post mortem and bbc highlights too so didn't even pop over after. Felt bad but had to be done.

Every summer on the nearest weekend to my son's birthday we have around 30 family and a few friends over. It's this Saturday ffs. Other than blaming my wife for not consulting my wall chart should I take any other action. Might fake a heart scare on friday and go for a late cancellation of invitations

Pretty sure half the group will want the telly on in the background!

I had a nightmare last night was stuck in Belfast with a delayed flight till 7.30pm, saw the first 15 mins then jumped on the plane. Don’t know how I did it, but managed to get home without overhearing any chat about the score so could watch it as if live.

These are things that make me cry..got home with 3 mins to spare yesterday after an hour extra in traffic cursing and weeping

The game will be on front and center and someone else can cook !

I've got a wedding to go to on Saturday and I believe the service starts at 3 

How many guys you reckon will be watching on their phones?

[bagel]

despite efforts to wake me up i managed to miss the penalties
