Most of England's midfield look like they're hiding from the ball when they're in possession

The one player that can run at defenses at speed (Sterling ) is resting on the bench.

That's the problem with three man midfield. Three man running from sideline to sideline is just too exhausting for 120 minutes. Should've changed formation at some stage.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

England just gave up pressing. Vardy should be running from sideline to sideline but offers zero movement.

Rashford comes from the bench and doesn't press at all. What exactly was point of that other than finally changing formation?

Sterling adds an extra spark and England don't look the same without him on the field.

Yep, he's the spark that makes them run. Completely different side since he departed the field.

If this goes to pens I hope to fuck Stones is not the one who misses.

Well it's going to pens so you can pretty much take it as given that Colombia is going through. England just can't take pens.

England has shot 12 penalties in the history of the competition and scored 7. LOL.

There's crazy, insane, bonkers mad and simply impossible. England winning on penalties belongs to last group. Too much pressure. Too young guys.

At least Raheem can't miss a penalty. He'd probably be lynched if that happened
