96 Spain? Just about remember it. 

I was young then and not into football. That was my first penalty shoot out win. I went crazy when arsenal beat Roma on penalties but tonight was a different level. I feel like I've taken something it really is amazing

Out of interest how many people on here were  alive when England won their last shootout?

I remember them beat Cameroon on penalties, wasn't that long ago.  1990 I believe.

Ha ha except we didn't win on penalties we scored a winning penalty in extra time.

That is quite simply the biggest boost we could possibly have needed as a football nation from the national team's point of view. The single biggest monkey on our backs, overcome.

This has united people in a way I've not seen from England.

I've only ever wanted to feel this way about England. Things feel right again.

On we fucking go.

We were comfortable before the substitutions. Good job we hung on for penalties.

first half of ET I was SHITTING myself. 

second half ET we bucked our ideas up and played with less nerves. Probably confident we'd fuck them up on pens.

Yeah I know what you mean. Football really is amazing. There isn't a sport in the world that brings people together more. No sport even comes close

Can't remember much absolutely rat arsed right now. Back is soaked from beer flying everywhere plus sweat. Celebrated with so many strangers, unreal scenes. Superb atmosphere where I was.

All I remember is England weren't great but Colombia were absolute turd until Southgate let them come forward.

Don't think I've ever seen us win on penalties but in hindsight it was a good thing that it actually went to penalties. A dramatic win on penalties will do a lot more for the team than winning a shit game with a penalty.

As for the game, there wasn't much that actually troubled either keeper and we were handed the lead when Colombia's shithousing gifted us a penalty. After that it was pretty easy for us until Dier came on. Not that he was terrible but it pretty much gave the signal to Colombia that they can now just have the ball.

Going forward, Sweden should be easy and I'd fancy us against Russia or even Croatia. Not going to the final now would be a surprise. We do have to find a way other than set pieces to score past teams though.

well yeah cos Maguire was just kicking the 2nd ball out and the ref said play on without him looking. It'd be unfair to let it stand. Colombian players barely moaned at that which was impressive for them given what they were moaning at before.

Also, Stones accidentally hit Falcao's head. Not a chance hes done that on purpose xD

The Dier corner. Yeah you can have that one. 

Ya surprised they didn't.  

Because ref said play and an ENGLISH player threw the ball there.  So he should know if his team is ready.  

 So by that reasoning:  if there is a break on I would tell my defenders to strike up a conversation with the linesman to negate the goal

Totally agree mate and it was a guaranteed goal too. Anyone who thinks it made a difference that the entire England defence and goalkeeper stopped and did nothing to prevent the goal because the whistle had gone are just being biased :twothumbsup:.
