Sweden did have a couple of chances but England could have scored 3 or 4, in the end it was a pretty comfortable win for England.Quote

Seen the game now. In hindsight: Sweden had two really good chances. Their goalie made two qualified saves on those. In the end that is what makes the difference.
Swedish marking on their second goal was awful though. I wonder what happened there?

well, I'm sure you're a nice guy but you're too dangerous to me.

I feel for Uruguay, they really played good and only lacked Cavani in that last game vs. France. They are a very sporting clean-playing team. You know, there are some ugly moments and teams that play like that often.
yes I must admit it's confusingQuote

Yup, very boring if they do though.
A Belgium v England final would be very interesting, surprising, entertaining etc.
...
Been quite charmed by England's approach to this world cup. They have went about things in a great way. Southgate has built up a good thing.
Quite a confusing thing to be a Scotsman that feels a bit of empathy for the England team.

It's a mystery wrapped up in an enigma.

I think someone thought they were being funny BUT NOT FUNNY. Maybe the post should even be removed.

Out of the teams remaining I will root firstly for Belgium because they have a very good team and have never won the tournament, secondly for France because of their beautiful game against Argentina in the 1/16-final.
One of them is not going to make it for the final however. Both England and Croatia have been very lucky to make it this far in the tournament. Strange to see England this late in tournament.
Almost as strange as seeing an Englishman winning Wimbledon (Andy Murray, 2013 - first since Fred Perry in 1936). Even though Sir Andrew is a Scot...
