2018 FIFA World Cup Round of 16: Colombia vs. England

[Sedale Threatt]

Proud for my guys to play hard and tough throughout.... held England scoreless outside of PKs....

And dirty.. it was a complete bitchfess from Columbia. Constantly surrounding the ref, delaying the penalty.. two players kicking the penalty spot to pieces in the process..

I admire their passion, but there's a line.

Yeah, I don't understand all the whining they've done post match. I mean, I get it -- sour grapes and all. But holy crap, they're complaining about the referee and England diving and blah blah blah when they were just shameless throughout the match.

I agree. They deserved at least one red for their pathetic behaviour. Lost most of the respect for all S. American teams but Peru. At least their fans were pure class and players played their hearts out without flopping, diving and complaining. Argentina, Colombia and Brasil on the other hand are just a disgrace to football. Uruguay is yet to be tested by adversity.. I will hold my judgement on them until I see them vs France.

yeah agree with those wondering how on earth the Columbian coach and captain are complaining about the ref after they screamed in his face after an obvious penalty for 4 minutes. like wtf? also escaped a very deserved red card. what are they bitching about?

Quite the South American bashing here or pro english bias so I'll leave it at that.

The whole, what feels like, criminalization of my colombians is out of line and over the top.

I agree the whole argument with the ref was way overdone but VAR should've been called for and thats the problem. It wasn't.

Geiger was easily pro English in this match overall. Didn't throw out Barrios doesn't make amends for it.

As for Stones comments... well I just won't go there. Enjoy Sweden and good luck.
