SPAIN WIN THE WORLD CUP

Spain win 2-1. Late goal by Merino but it was a big mistake by Senne Lammens, the substitute Belgium goalkeeper.

They will play France on Tuesday for a place in the final.

Last two quarter finals on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Norway v England (10pm, Saturday)

Argentina v Switzerland (2am, Sunday)

Come on England tonight.

Game about to start

Come on England

Norway 1-0 up

Pickford is a liability.

A bit of magic from Bellingham and England are level.

England deserved their equaliser from Bellingham (with a great ball from Gordon) on the balance of play, and nearly got the lead with a great effort from Kane

Tuchel will do a BBM at half-time, and tell his team to press Norway even more, as they look very stretched and dis-jointed under pressure at times

The England goal shouldn’t have stood. The ball hit a camera cable above the pitch & it was missed by the ref & VAR and that’s what the Norway players were complaining about.

Norway score but it's disallowed

I was an advocate of VAR after the Chelsea farce, but after a few seasons, it just ensures the result the authorities want

Disallowed goal for Norway, and rightly so, as Haaland pushes Stones to the floor before the corner is taken

VAR is clear, the ‘goal’ ruled out, and the corner retaken, as play hadn’t restarted before the ‘foul’ was committed

England 2-1 up at half time in extra time.

Bellingham with another goal.

Tuchel hasn't been afflicted with the Pep curse. England get the ball forward nearly all the time, whereas Norway stats look great, but it's sideways and backwards.

Haaland taken off at the start of the second period of extra time.

Seems a strange decision.

He didn’t look happy on the bench, so I’m assuming an injury?

Either way, it plays into England’s hands, and Norway are huffing without the puff!

England are in the World Cup semi finals with a 2-1 win over Norway, after extra time.

Jude Bellingham was outstanding for them.

Most annoying thing about this game has been ITV ignoring absolutely every dubious refereeing/VAR call.

They’re broadcasting for the whole UK, the bias is infuriating

Always is mate. I’m hoping Argentina stuff them.

Man of the Match again, Ned

England deserved their win, and there will be four very good teams in the semi-finals, so it will be a tough ask; but you never know!

England are 80% of the UK, half of Wales and NI would "support" them

The commentary is embarrassing, but that's the way it's gone over the last 2o years. They act like the drunk in the pub.

Tuchel is top class though. Squad, Selections and tactics spot on!!

It's not rugby. Those who follow Welsh clubs probably don't but the other 3 million is 50/50 probably greater

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. I’d guess at 20%.

Yes in last 15 mins of extra time they took 7 mins to get ball in England pen area ...like that most game ko wonder haarly gave up ! But England are nothing special but fair play got job done thanks to haarlys stupid push and goalies mistake.

Won't get into the broadcasting bit (although I broadly agree), but you are spot on about Tuchel. First time for a very long time that England have had a manager who knows football tactics and knows how to win matches.

Cards on the table, I think they'll get to the final but lose to France.

Agree re Tuchrl. I think they’ll lose against Argentina in extra time.

Embolo red card was brilliant last night. Some claiming he was expecting contact that never came, but he still rolled around like he’d been shot.

I don’t like when our own players do it, it’s embarrassing. They’re trying to cheat the ref into making the wrong call

It was a ridiculous dive. A stupid thing to do when they'd just got back in the game and he was already on a yellow. Got what he deserved.

SEMI FINALS

France v Spain - July 14th, 8pm

England v Argentina - July 15th, 8pm

I agree; the boy (Embolo) should be embarrassed and banned further!

He’s already been informed by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) that they are reviewing whether to withdraw his Equity Card!
