I live in Germany and this is all I hear from the Schadenfreude mob … it's lose-lose: if you win you're simply lucky with the draw; if you lose you're shit because you were the favourites so it doesn't count.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Good save. Least Sweden giving a go.
Pickford might deserve y’all’s player of the tournament
His experience of throwing the ball into his own net but having nice hair?
England starting nervy again.
Sweden should go full David Moyes. Just keep whipping crosses in.
Sweden pushing means we should see more ball. As long as Gareth doesn't think about defensive subs like against Columbia we should be OK
Feck the England band. Horrendous racket.
Hopefully Rashford is the first sub on, his pace will give Sweden all kinds of problems given they're chasing the game.
I'd be happy if he doesn't think about defensive subs, as it gives us a better chance of scoring.
Seconded. What are the people even chanting along with the trumpet?
I have a feeling that if they ever got fecked they wouldn't be the England Band
Nice try, but this will not work … Rashford will win the game for England
Pickford's distribution is woeful.
Sloppy so far.
Pickford's distribution is terrible.
Are they initiating the songs, or just following whatever the fans sing? Makes me dislike brass instruments in general.
Much better from Sweden, this. Far from over here.
Pickford's kicking is hilarious.
My baby seems to like it.
That and smacking his centerbacks on the back of the head.
Good thing Liverpool never signed him. Half the team would be knocked cold.
Such a hollywood save from Pickford, that was easy!
Ridiculousquarterfinal. I am so sleepy .
A lot of flicks from the Swedes... which inevitably leads to a loss of possession
So glad we are done with the South American shithousery.
Worst camera angle to reveal Pickford's dumb kick out.
Pickford is an awkward looking/moving keeper...almost like he's... American.
It will probably take a miracle for us to score anyway.Nice try, but this will not work … Rashford will win the game for England
Dele has been alliability.
After an equally easy group, Belgium had to take on a surprisingly good Japanese side then Brazil - next up they have to play a French team that I think are favourites to win the tournament, sorry if I wont pretend Colombia minus James, Sweden and possibly Russia is quite the same.
England are having a successful world cup, but to me they should absolutely have been expected to beat Colombia (missing their star player), Tunisia, Panama and a Sweden team that so far looks utteerly toothless
It sounds like some bastardized version of Earth, Wind, and Fire’s September.My baby seems to like it.
Don’t ruin that song for me, England!
Does Stirling have Polaroids of Southgate wearing nothing but his waistcoat?!
How refreshing to see two teams just getting on with the game. No amateur dramatics.
Not only do England have the luckiest draw, they are gonna reach the final while playing championship football.
Germany’s been home awhile, buddy.
Just as the commentators were praising himWorst camera angle to reveal Pickford's dumb kick out.
Advo Cat … what a fecking Chav!
Both teams are crap.
Surely Welsh!
