Goodbye England, you had a good run.
1966 was the last time that you won!šŸ˜ˆ

Croatia is gassed out. Their main goalie got a hamstring it looks like: wonā€™t be good against aggressive English team.

Iā€™m calling an England - France final, with France as the victor.

Jordan Pickford .

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

Heā€™s not the only Jordan ā€“
Thereā€™s also Henderson.
This oneā€™s the lad decked out in green,
Heā€™s Englandā€™s Number One.

A reassuring presence,
Between the sticks he stands,
So far no clangers has he dropped,
A most safe pair of hands.

He bawls at his defenders,
When they donā€™t give him cover,
Just like a hawk he watches them,
More closely than Big Brother.

You may remember Gordon Banks,
Ray Clemence, Pete Shilton,
But in my mind there is no doubt
That Pickfordā€™s Number One.

When not on England duty,
Where does he ply his trade?
At Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Man U
Or some such famous name?

The boy donā€™t play for none of these,
No, there you are quite wrong.
He earns his corn on Merseyside,
He plays for Everton!

Pickford attended the St Robert of Newminster Catholic School in Washingtonā€¦
No, not that Washington! This Washington is a place near Sunderland, in northeast England.

Perhaps this man will sway you a little . :roll_eyes:

After this interview he spent an hour on the pitch with the England fans , thanking them , singing with them , signing autographs .

There is something special about him .

He has got together a team , each member of which respects each other .

He respects all involved with the team , down to the cleaners who clean up the smelly changing rooms .

The team respect him .

The nation respects him .

ā€œHe has not just guided England to a World Cup semi-final, but helped fans fall head over heels for his team tooā€¦ā€ ( BBC sports correspondent ) .
 
There are reports that Sacha Baron Cohen will be competing with the World Cup final for viewersā€™ attention this Sunday.

That happens to me sometimes when my favorite team isnā€™t playing, but this year, if it couldnā€™t be Brazil, I want it to be France. But itā€™ll be fun to watch no matter who wins!

Todayā€™s winners are the Thai boysā€™ football team and their coach who have been rescued , but above all the winners are those who put their lives at risk to rescue them and Saman Kunan the diver who gave his life in his attempts to recsue them .

May he rest in peace .

May his loved ones be comforted .

May there be healing for all damaged by this event .

May there be joy for families reunited with their sons .

May there be respect and gratitude for those who daily give of themselves to save those in danger .

You are right! Thanks for posting the photos @Rob2!

The Wild Boars are ā€œtheā€ soccer team of the year! The only way this could have been happier is if no one had died. He, and the other Navy SEALs will forever be special heroes. They accomplished the impossible.
