Norway are so bang average for a team in the quarters. If England can't beat these they don't deserve to be in the conversation for the winners!

You were saying...

[steviewevie]

Jeez man, switch off for a second and that's what happens. 

Now they're in trouble, scoring against this lot in this heat

I stand by it. They are very ordinary. I still think England will win.

They know England's weakness...stay organised at the back, and get them on the break.

That's what we thought when Iceland took the lead against England at Euro 2016 and look how that turned out.

Unless they give Haarland a couple of chances, then they're in trouble!

[Crazyfool01]

Should have gone 2 down then 

[Crazyfool01]

Great goal that

Means nowt. 

[steviewevie]

Flipping good goal that 

[Punksnotdead]

England 3-1.

[charlierc]

There's definitely potential scope for regrets for Norway there - missed some good chances for 2-0 and then letting England pinch a cheeky one at the end of the half.

I think Sorloth not taking the opportunity to pass to Haaland could be a big turning point. I don’t think England score if he hadn’t messed that up. 
 

In other international news I saw the Euro under 19 final today. The future looks secure for Spain, couldn’t believe the level of their players.

[steviewevie]

Not confident to call it either way. If England make any more sloppy mistakes, and they will as they get tired, they will get punished. But then the game could get more stretched and open up more for England. Substitutes are key.

[steviewevie]

Oh, substitutions already.

[steviewevie]

HAHA bloody vikings 

[charlierc]

Good finish but it's fair that it's a foul. 

 

Didn't know the rule was to take the corner again though. Or at least don't think I've seen that given until now.

Pre VAR the player doesn’t fall over because there isn’t enough contact to make him fall over. Now players fly to the floor knowing big brother is watching.

[Punksnotdead]

That's a shocker of a decision! Hate Haarland with every bone in my body but that was so soft!

[steviewevie]

I would fall over too if Haaland pushed me

[steviewevie]

I think it's a good decision, too much ridiculous pushing and shoving now.

But then I would probably think differently if was down the other end.

[steviewevie]

Please no extra time 

[steviewevie]

Norway are better 

[Punksnotdead]

If John Stones is a world cup winner then I should be a Glastonbury headliner! 🤣

[steviewevie]

England have been all over the shop this half
