No James. Comfortable win for England.
Very much doubt it, it'll be close and I think England will bottle it.
James is not even on the bench?
Footballs coming home...
Zero confidence in us getting the job done honestly. The joys of being English.
Messi Lingard will run the show tonight. Kane and Falcao who?
It's a shame as you want to win by beating their best team and not have people saying 'oh well, if James was there it'd be closer'.
Officially bricking it now.
Dunno whether to stream it in English and avoid here for spoilers, watch in Spanish or feck off to Gibraltar for the evening.

Nah I don't give a feck about that, wouldn't mind if we play teams with their best players out for the entire tournament!
This is the best chance England will ever get to a clear and ‘easy’ path to the final.
Come on England, don’t live up to the disappointments which you have always been, let’s have something to celebrate for this summer.

Down some beers before the game til you don't give a feck. Then watch it like a man.
Good advice that I have been following religiously.
We should win tonight, there really is no excuses if we don't. We will never get a better chance to do something in a world cup with this bracket. Croatia in the semi would be 50/50 on paper, but Colombia & Sweden really should not beat us. After a lifetime (for me) of failure though it's hard not to assume a bottle job. Especially with our core being Spurs players.
Hopefully we can break the ITV curse tonight.

Yep the Spurs factor will be our undoing, and I hope the media never forgives them!
I have a gnawing fear that Pickford will somehow feck up tonight.
Look on the bright side...Falcao will be nervous as hell having to play against a team full of Englishmen after his stint in the PL. He ll go back to loveable but can't nick a goal Radamel.
He's looked like a disaster waiting to happen all tournament, it's only a matter of time.
He always looks like he’s got a mistake in him.
I'm more fearful that he'll have a point to prove & go beasting & feasting against our lightweight back 3 & dodgy keeper.
feck I hate nerves.
Anyone else think Butland would've been a better shout? He just seems calmer. Maybe it's just me.
An English pundit really said England will beat Sweden 99/100? 
And you wonder why people call you arrogant...

No a Scottish one did, very very different to an English one.
Comfortably win for England, piss poor side from Columbia. Going big on England, off to the local bookie. 
He might but I would take confidence from the fact that, no matter how bad Pickford is, Ospina can be exponentially worse.
Space behind the English wingbacks is going to be key. If Columbia get the better of that battle, like they did against Poland, it could be a nervous night for England.
In a neutral venue, I think England would win 8 times out of 10. 99/100 is ridiculous though yeah.An English pundit really said England will beat Sweden 99/100?
LOL. He tore Stones a new one for Monaco at the Etihad in 2016/17. Stones won’t have forgotten that roasting in a hurry.
James not even in the squad, that's great for England. 2-1 maybe 3-1 with a Pickford/Walker howler. Think Kane, Lingard will score and Sterling might break his duck tonight.
That's possible. Just make sure your fridge and liquor cabinets are well stocked. You still have 25 min or so to run to the corner store.
Good luck England <3 from the Netherlands!
Good luck to England, they will need it. They have the better squad, but mentality is key. Pickford and the defense havent convinced me so far
Disagree there buddy, think England would win 4-5, Sweden 1-2 and 4-5 or so draws/pen's.
That’s a bit more sensible.
midfield to be key as well. lets see how much help Henderson gets with Alli and Lingard. Was hoping Southgate would start the game with an extra man like Loftus Cheek or Dier in midfield. Henderson could end up being overrun.
Would have had RLC over Alli
Ahh yeah I mean't under a 'must be a winner' golden goal type rule. Yeah, I'd agree with your assessment.
Obviously in the event of penalties, Sweden win 100 times out of 100 haha.
Hopefully for England Man Shitty Sterling will actually show up today for the first time this tourney. Don't see any wc glory without him kicking it into high gear.
That'd be Nemanja Matic.
He's not more driven than Ronaldo and never will be so there.
Smalling is crap with the ball but I'd rather have him in the back for these kinds of games. Maguire has looked nervous and Walker doesn't convince me as a CB at all.
