Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted June 27, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 27, 2019 So its the first quater-finals today and the round of 16 provided good entertainment. Think England will edge Norway here and go through to the Semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted June 27, 2019 England are cruising here even if Norway had found their composure after the first goal. Think there's more in this but Norway won't stand a chance if England get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Norway been a bit unlucky this half, good fighting spirit and could have had at least a couple.. Good penalty save there.. bit of a soft one to have given it in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all England have done they've been taken to the cleaners from a defensive standpoint at various points in the game its just a shame there isn't a better striker to finish things off.

Burning Gold 599 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I was led to believe it's impossible for a goalkeeper to keep one foot on the goal line and save a penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, a couple of goal line clearances required, another more clinical side would have punished us for those lapses.. as it is England are through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted June 27, 2019 That was actually not a half bad quarter final even if the score was 3-0. The next one is quite a tasty affair as France take on the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA games getting tougher Also happens to have one of the best midfielders in the tournament Diani in it as well. Questions are being asked whether France will have the fitness for it but I think they'll be fine. The US almost got a scare from Japan as well and it took a last minute penalty to sort that out so we'll have to see how it all pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
