in a truly unfortunate turn of events, England’s World Cup run can no longer go down as anything other than a tremendous success after the terrible lads triumphed over Sweden Saturday

The truth is England dominated play most of the way, and earned this victory, leading to nightmare scenes like this one, of British people enjoying themselves

The Ikea video is reason #1 why England deserves to win the cup.

I see, it's going to be like that....

Three Lions (Original)
Three Lions '98
Vindaloo
All Together Now
World In Motion
We're on the Ball
England Belongs to Me
Come On England

I'm nearly on week three of shuffling that playlist and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

well he just gave a yellow to Kanté for fouling Hazard...not sure that theory holds

tv coverage cut to Macron right after Umtiti scored, and all I could think was "shouldn't you be in Brussels?!?"  then again, considering who's waiting there for him, i'd be hiding out too...

even a biased ref can only be blind to so much...

I don't think he was biased, I think he just missed the call. 

France's defense was just too much for Belgium.  Sad for Belgium's golden kids, but this young French team has the potential to be great for 3 world cups...
