Its been a brilliant tournament enjoyed most of the matches too! Think England should beat Sweden but they are they similar in mentality and luck so i think it will be close and luck Have friends in Sweden so i will go on to support them if they succeed Just dreading the next few weeks with people hitting things with snow shoes that the bbc feel they have to put on almost every single outlet, making it difficult to escape ahhhhh Thank god for Love Island

It's been a terrific tournament so far with most games displaying at least some exciting skills and energy, particularly from the "underdogs". Also sadly a merging of association football with the game of rugby where opposition players are bundled to the ground by effective tackling! Perthaps it's too much to ask that there is more consistency in judging whether this is fair play ..... If Scotland for example were playing - as really they should have been - there would be an incredible amount of national fervour up here and rightly so.....come on England and take the opportunities, think positively especially with the press behind you It'll be a feather in Russia's cap - which they will no doubt exploit - if the whole event goes off without major incident. Seems that fans have enjoyed the experience so far

Edinburgh,
I can't believe a Scot is willing England to win!
But lets see how far we get!
Regards
MM TBH MM I'm a Cockney but naturalised Glaswegian, so a Jockney I'll support any UK team even if one or two of our best friends have to grit their teeth not to automatically support any team England are playing against

If Scotland for example were playing - as really they should have been....
Scraped a draw at home with an 89th minute goal against Lithuania and then walloped 3-0 by Slovakia, I really don't see how you can say Scotland should have been in Russia. On the whole it's been a very good World Cup, on and off the pitch. I just wish VAR could be used in retrospect to sanction payers who dive or feign injury.

Ah, the excitement of the world cup & all that it entails. I have to admit Simon was a bit ambitious with his thoughts about Scotland, but really he was just being facetious.. I'm no football lover for various reasons, but this game has me enthralled at the moment for various reasons, not least the camera work. The drama in the game is just entertaining due to the over acting, dirty tactics, bad fouling. The Columbia game with England was just a farce, Columbia just hacked bullied their way through the game & I heard myself say come on England. My heart was in my mouth when the penalties came, I was pleased when England came through. Watching other games today, I think France or Belgium will win. Just my thoughts.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

As I heard elsewhere- it’s not home yet but it’s just packed a suitcase...
Doris the 1998 Portofino Blue 20V and Zoe the 1999 Alfa Romeo 916 Spider Bog standard needn't be boring...

Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm looking forward to tonights game. I'm on holiday, I'm almost pain free hip wise, not so grumpy & of course an excuse for a few sherbets..... I'm no football pundit but I had Belgium for the win, even well into the game.

Aye Ali, what can I say, it's been so very,very entertaining on so many levels. As a proud Scot I was a bit jealous, but initially I honestly thought me you could do this, but hey ho, it's not to be.

Despite their antics and some questionable decisions, the better team won.
Seven shots on target to England’s one. You can’t win a game of football if you don’t kick the ball toward the goal. Best team won in the end. England threatened in the first half, and should have gone in at least 2 up, but after half time there was only one team going to win. Good experience for a relatively young team, I think with a few tweaks, things look pretty good for the England football team.
