The question is: who doesn't have a yellow card?

[biscuits]

Extra time - one hour for all the stoppages

[biscuits]

omg!! I said a moment ago (as a joke) "This going to end in a brawl"

[Ronnie_Pickering]

you're not far wrong. 10 minutes!

[biscuits]

Let's hope The Netherlands don't score so this shit show can finally be over!
Imagine it going to extra time.
Please, no!

[Ronnie_Pickering]

yeah hopefully this is Argentina's. Better team.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

god dammit

[biscuits]

extra time... scoring in the 100th minute.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

unbelievable

[Ronnie_Pickering]

Argentina have turned into England. They're going to lose penalties now too.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

what a game.

[biscuits]

Finally able to witness a penalty shoot out!

The first semi final is locked in: Argentina v Croatia (Tue 13th Dec, 7pm)

Today sees:

Morocco v Portugal (3pm)
England v France (7pm)

[Mr. Nobody]

Are Morocco playing Portugal today?

I'm amazed that BBC news front page is all about England playing football later tonight at 7pm,

Given everything else in the world going on, that seems a bit biased.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

even the 3 lions have turned against England.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

Don’t think I got the stamina to watch Portugal-Morocco and England Vs France. I’ll just trust that Morocco will win and watch England Vs France.

[Mr. Nobody]

He-he,..more surprises, Morocco go in 1 goal up at the break,

I don't think many results have gone with form on paper,
Although there's a lot could still happen obviously,
They could go 2 up, lol

[Ronnie_Pickering]

poor old biscuits, noone saw that coming!

[Mr. Nobody]

Yeah, definitely a bit of an upset,..

England will thrash France tonight at this rate

[Ronnie_Pickering]

I really couldn't call England vs France in honesty. England in the nations league were bottom, France were third from bottom. So it might be a drab match.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

12 mins England aren't out yet
16 mins England out
54 mins England back in it
76 mins England out again

[Mr. Nobody]

I'm not very knowledgeable about football, but it's so annoying how England have been getting into or near the penalty area but then end up passing the ball back up the park and into their own half again,.. why don't they keep pushing and take more shots on goal?

I find it annoying because it's a bit boring just watching people passing a ball about,
It's only when they are striking at goal that things are worth watching IMO

[Ronnie_Pickering]

it's to do with momentum I think, as soon as they lose it they lose a lot of ground.

Pretty equal first half.

[Mr. Nobody]

It does seem quite equal, but England need to go for goal a bit more, as it would rattle the French defence a bit more rather than just casually passing it about.

[cymruambyth26]

First real test for England in this tournament.

England are being cautious you wonder when the shackles will be let off them.

The commentary is annoying my dad and brother but they are England fans as well as commentators.

Edit - We have more of a game now at 1-1.

[Mr. Nobody]

Penalty! -- Game On !!
