These guys sure like to kick the ball 20 feet over the goal instead of into the goal.
Shot was on-target, so likely to belong to Forsberg.
It was on-target, but the keeper was in perfect position to scoop it up. It only goes in because it deflects off the defender.
Yep, but that part doesn’t matter. If it’s on-target, it’s usually awarded to the shooter. And so far it has been.
Red card. This is pretty much over.
Oh, to be in Stockholm right now. The days are crazy, crazy long, too. The party is going to be going on all night.
Our anthem is such a funereal dirge compared to some countries.
How do you get hyped up after that Colombian anthem with our thing?
One of my favourite World Cup experiences was watching England 2-0 Colombia with a very large and drunk crowd in 1998, so if we could have more of that that would be great, thanks.
Someone find the shattered remains of Darren Anderton.
Wanted to watch this one with the BBC commentary, but couldn’t get the video live stream to work with my VPN. :( So it’s back to the old FOX stuff for me.
Aly Wagner is pretty good though.
Most of my family is visiting England this week, and I just messaged them asking if they were holed up watching in a cool London pub.
They’re stuck on a tour bus on the way back from Stonehenge.
Total fail.
lol Stones lucky to not get a card there.

Bus driver will probably have it on the radio?
How are both teams looking? Are England controlling the play?
Not controlling but much more incisive so far. Colombia showing flashes of great skill. Oh and we have the “dont book anyone” referee from the Portugal game so this could get dirty.
Yeah, I don’t actually mind the FOX announcers. I was just hoping to get another shot at listening to the “we’re swinging so wildly between hope and despair that we have no idea how to deal while also maintaining the stiff-upper-lip” BBC commentary. It’s so much fun!
Good points, the meltdowns can be hilarious.
