If the Ukraine had won, it'd have been Ukraine and England through, wouldn't it?

I'm surprised Portugal and Spain made it to the knockouts too.

I'm very much ok with this.
The arm also has to be in a somewhat natural position. You can't spread them out and then claim that you didn't intend for the ball to hit your arm. I would given them a penalty as he's crawling around and his hands are blocking off parts of the pitch.
And please tear us a new one.SPAIN here we come.
But the hilarity if we repeat 2006's feat and send them home

Wtf are you talking about? Ukraine and Sweden were not shitcakes?
I'm more worried about playing Italy than playing Spain. We beat Spain not so long ago, and we know that the Chelsea defense works wonders against a team that just wants to pass. Italy will be difficult to break down and difficult to defend against, especially with Balotelli.

Man those were some dull matches. If only Sweden had played like that before in other matches!
Oooh, nice thread title too.
This England match is a reason why we should have goal-line video technology. (even if looking at the replay, it looks like it was offside)

I have that feeling too, but i'm not sure it's not wishful thinking. In any case, be prepared for a long night.
Ukraine, just Ukraine. Why the people say The Ukraine? Even on ESPN the say The Ukraine.
Ok, back to being bitter about Ukraine being eliminated.

Just to end the debate about the goal being allowed, it was offside:
R U A WIZARD!?!?
I can feel a Greece 2004 coming from them.
They are a team of grafters and have a system styled by Hodgson to get them results.
How do you not see that? That's two meters at least.
Hope not. Would love to see a couple of upsets in there.

How do so many people in a football thread not understand offside?
These refs are clueless
You mean against Netherlands, right? He was woeful against us.
Not just Hodgson, Gary Neville is out there too.
'Attack the day' is his motto and he lives by it.

I don't think we can determine if it was intentional or not from a slo-mo .gif. It looks to me like he stuck his hands out to brace his fall, and momentum kept him going forward. But, tbf, I didn't see the match.

Even if cameras existed in football matches, they would clearly see that the Ukrainian player was offside anyway, therefore the non-goal would've stood regardless.
Also my boss and another co-worker are both Italian and are following Italy in this tournament obviously so definitely gonna be some trashtalking for the rest of the week. Definitely wearing my England shirt on Friday.

I think with this case people just weren't aware. But yeah, yesterday was fascinating.

No one enjoys England schadenfreude more than me but you have to be fucking blind to not see an offside. The goal should have never counted anyway.
We are going to beat a team who's playing football, not hiding like England or Sweden. 8 players defending againsnt us. MERDE.
Edit:: I respect SPAIN for that, they play football not just defense.

They're not the only two occasions when the thread has descended into agonizing offside discussion in the face of clear evidence :lol

Pedantic but England != Brits
Excited for the quarters. I'd be happy if England made it to the semis.
Hell Ukraine is the fucking host they should throw a fit, not just the media.
That's what irritates me. The camerawork isn't nearly up to the league standards.

Well, what do you say? It feels good to finish in style, of course, but then you naturally start thinking "what if...?". What if we had played like this in the first two games? Would we have made it through? Probably. Oh well.

Glad we topped the group, but that was bad. Everyone apart from Gerrard and Hart were crap.
