He will never have to pay for a beer for the rest of his life

I suppose the Colombian keeper needs a bodyguard now.

Not joking sadly.

[Victor Meldrew]

England thru.

Know sod all bout the game or the players, but, bearing in mind the history of England and penalties, winning that penalty shoot-out could be a very significant moment in this England team's World Cup.

[Chester Draws]

England didn't look the better side, but they looked the more professional to me. As the game closed they still kept their shape.

Even the penalty "missed" was quite a good shot. Five decent penalties by England is a new experience for me.

Top two inches. It's a cliche, but often true.

[Chester Draws]

@billy-tell I think the guy who hit the woodwork is the one who will get the blame. One truly excellent save by both keepers canceled, so it was the miss that counted.

[MiketheSnow]

Well done the penalty takers.

England played their 'Get Out Of Jail' card.

Can count themselves lucky Colombia only wanted to play for 35 mins.

Unbelievable to think this very average team could get to the final.

Sweden, Russia and Croatia are all very beatable

[Bovidae]

Go Sweden!!

It will be interesting to see how England goes from here as the expectations rise.

[ACT Crusader]

England back 3 are very solid. Their defensive structure is very good. But up front they are lacking class.

There was a glimpse in that ET of what they can do pushing forward through the middle but they don’t have the flank players that create. But they aren’t easy to score against so will always be in with a chance.

[Machpants]

So England's winning ratio on penalties is now 2 from 9, great work!

[MajorRage]

Epic sporting moment.

Just fantastic.

[Hooroo]

I actually thought England played well and controlled the game until they scored the goal and then got a bit of "what do we do now"

That was terrifying that shootout and I was very pessimistic.

Watched with a Venezuelan that was wearing an England shirt. When we got that final penalty he threw the worst double handed high five and palmed me straight in the nose and a finger in the eye. He didn't even know he had done it he was so ecstatic

@rocky-rockbottom

That's the Ronaldo way - glory. The problem is that if other players miss penalties beforehand you might not get to the 5th attempt.
