I only listened to the game, and read some comments, but Colombia didn't play nice, and at full time (1-1) England seemed tired (as I assume most know, it went to extra time and penalties (England have lost 7 out of 8 times when there's been a shootout, I think). Maybe this one would be a once in life time experience.
A nervous shootout, and with a brilliant save by Jordan Pickford.
However, after reading some of the comments at the BBC's "Get involved", after Swe-Sui (1-0) some hours earlier, I almost wanted to cheer on Colombia; it was said that our game was boring (0-0 half time) (still 64000 watched vs. 44000 in Col-Eng, I think) (people change their minds very quickly, our last one vs. Mexico was apparently a joy to watch, and those that commented hadn't thought about how "boring" Col-Eng could become, it seems, and it was pretty much before the penalties (over here several expected nil-nil and a shootout was how we would play against the Swiss team); it was said that the goal (that went via a Swiss player) was sheer luck (still, after Col-Eng one commentator at the BBC said something along the lines (full live text isn't included in articles now it seems) that at this stage it doesn't matter how you win as long as you win. Oh, as long right team wins, I imagine.
Other comments from the great minds at Get involved: Sweden are (sic!) anti football. And that England should easily beat Sweden (when the Col-Eng even hadn't started,
and remember, England won against Tunisia and Panama but lost against Belgium in group play). That said, there were plenty of balanced comments and knowledge.
Of course, when we're now going for quarter-finals, I thought it would be fun if we would play against England, so above comments didn't matter, and above all I didn't want to see a rough playing Colombia go to QFs.
(BTW, Bel-Jap the other day was quite entertaining; when I started my reply above, it was 0-2 to Japan, and about the time I posted 3-2 to Belgium ...
(though I think left the text with 2-2). I don't think there was any "acting" or similar, compare that to Brazil vs. Mexico same day, with Neymar's lack of sportsmanship, well it didn't come as a surprise, but still. Apart from acting, I think he did an assist and went on celebrating on his own ... I wish Belgium good luck.)
