And when Gavin was checking the score, it seemed both England and Columbia had 3 yellow cards each..sounds like an interesting game

One of them head butted Jordan henderson, how he didn't get a straight red for that I don't know, then when England got a penalty another time, it was a blatant penalty, the whole Colombian team stood arguing with ref for ages while kicking up the ground in the penalty spot to try and make to harder to score the penalty and just countless other fouls really. There's video of the head butt here :

Supporting England as Ireland are not in in, lived in England longer than I have lived in Ireland now and its my home, and chuffed for my boys that they are experiencing some success at the WC, I remember the euphoria of Italia 90 when Ireland did well so delighted they get to feel that as well older one is dog sitting at home and when he rang this morning he was hoarse

Thats ****ing ridiculous. Even from just that, and as someone who does not watch football, I can tell the ref was seriously dodgy! I now understand the rage that appeared on FB I think I might start watching now it seems we are doing quite good. And so that I don't have to ask stuff like this

England has not been properly tested yet imo.

the colombian only brushed him with his head, it was hardly a forceful headbutt . Also the england player went down on the ground clutching his forehead, where the only contact was on his chin

Hmm maybe. But we tend to be out before now usually, so am hopeful

However it was clearly on purpose. So should have been a red.

But LOL at clutching his forehead when it was also clearly his chin!

England got to the Quarterfinals on 2006, but I see what you are saying.

If England wants to succeed they need to change their game tactics.

oh come off it, you can't use your head like that, it was as clear a red as I've ever seen
