I think the teams from the right bracket should play for third and fourth place while Belgium-France should be the actual final.

Good timing with the thread as you'll get knocked out in two days.

england were meant to rue finishing 2nd in that group, because colombia were meant to outskill us. Sweden weren't to be underrated, because they were to out oldschoolengland us with the 4-4-2. And now Croatia are the only thing standing between England and their first world cup final in my lifetime. I'd have taken them as semi final opponents before the start of the tournament to be brutally honest

of course now rakitic and modric will have world class games now and make this post look silly, but they've not featured much in the knockout stages and have more minutes in their legs than England do.

"Harry Kane" sounds like the title of a long-lost 1960s British gangster film starring a young Michael Caine as the titular lead character.

Three Lions on the shirt,
Jules rimet still gleaming
thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming.

Every single English man, woman and child has been singing this the last 2 or 3 days.

They may as well make it our new national anthem, much better than the current one.

Why did this need a separate thread?

And I don't think it's "coming home". I'm disappointed that Sweden did their worst game of the tournament against England, but I think it ends for them in the next one.

Harry Kane has been shit at this tournament and England have only scored two goals from open play.

None of their performances have been commanding at all.

Why not? This thread existing doesn't stop another one from existing. There's not a finite number of threads lol.

Also, I'm English and while I hate my country entirely and everyone in it I hope it does come home just to shut the media up about 1966 and also give a little glory to the best England football team there's been in over 50 years.

As a Cuban American with English roots, I am fully behind England winning it all.

Btw, how hard is it to get knighted? Lol

Wasn't the song, and therefore the phrase, about an international tournament (the Euros, in that case) being held in England, rather that winning?

New threads for new news. This thread contributes nothing.

The phrase as used to promote the tournament was about the hosting. The song clearly changed the meaning to it referring to the sport of football coming back to it's home through victory
