Bobb should be removed from that team. Such a useless player. Norway could have eliminated the three Lions

Bobb hasn't been the same since he recovered from that bad injury which kept him out for quite some time. I believe with time, he'll regain his confidence and lost form.

If they lose, they will have themselves to blame.

They've lost. I just pray Sorloth will be able to forgive himself for that mistake and do better next time. Odegaard also needs to work on making enough forward passes.

All that aside, I'm really proud of Norway. Very few expected them to get to this stage. They should be proud of this achievement. They've done well overall. 👏👏👏

Sometimes cos we are not the ones playing, we tend to see things differently. Those players pass through a lot and could find seemingly simple things very hard to execute.

That's true. During such moments, it's easy to overthink things, but they must always remember to keep things simple. Football is 90% mental and 10% physical.

Sorloth had the opportunity to make a simple pass to Haaland who would have been one on one with Pickford but he chose not to pass. Bobb came on and started unnecessary dribbles instead of just delivering crosses into the box. These little things matter.

. I know but in very tough matches, a striker nerds to have options.

Dropping deep like Harry Kane would have been his only option. I don't know why some of his teammates decided to be quite selfish today of all days.

This is where individual skills and ability is really needed. Things can't always go the way of lazy players who only delight in passes to score. Fight for the ball and dribble your way through once in a while He's got no skills at all. He tried though.

He doesn't need dribbling skills. He's a traditional Centre Forward. If he wants to get more involved in the play, then he needs to drop deep when his team is in possession for easy one-twos and then make runs into space.

The disadvantage of doing that is that the box will be empty because Nusa and Bobb are traditional wingers and not inside forwards who can take advantage of the empty space.

The Norwegians need to send constant crosses into the box for Haaland. They've not created enough chances for him.

As at the 91st minute, England had just one shot on target

Norway are making too many unnecessary back passes

Bobb, what was that?

The Norwegian coach needs to bring on Nusa or Bobb.

Rashford would have scored at least one of those two free kicks that Kane and Eze missed.

Dani Olmo, Jeremy Doku and Lamine Yamal are playing well.

This Switzerland coach suppose be actor, handsomeness overload

The guy would fit the role of a psychopathic professor whom no one would suspect because of his looks.

Colombia played beautiful attacking football all through this tournament. I wonder what happened to them today.

Goke7:
Can they do it against Argentina?

Lol, we'll see what happens. 😄

Vargas scores!!!!!!!!

Switzerland have defeated Colombia!!! Wow!!!!! 😲😲😲

Vargas always looks anxious. Will he score?

I hate it when Central Defenders walk up to take penalties. Sanchez and Akanji both missed for Colombia and Switzerland respectively.

Tomorrow someone will say they are not World Cup material. The euro zone qualification for the World Cup is not a tea party anyone who qualifies is a decent team, same as the South America zone!

The thing with Switzerland is that they always find a way to disappoint but in this game they've been very impressive. They actually outplayed Colombia towards the end of the match and that's not easy to do.

I never knew Switzerland were capable of holding Colombia to this extent. Well done to them.

Quintero has come on as a sub; that's a possible game changer right there.
