Not impressed at all by Barrios's headbutt on Henderson, but then again, Henderson clearly budged him first and Henderson's reaction was totally over the top. England are getting a bit too emotional about a bit of typical macho (which bare on mind, is no where close to Panama level). Colombia are giving away too many fouls/set pieces and have been lucky that England haven't found the net yet. ITV commentary is being utterly one sided trash. Just now, Mina reacted to Sterling holding, but of course, Mina was wrong. Judging by the poor performance so far, I am not expecting Colombia to win, or even score a goal at this rate. Please god can England just score one or two to put me out of my misery so I can go upstairs and sleep. Either that or Colombia stop playing like fucking trash and get a grasp of themselves. This match is (at this rate) is depressing and will probably end in a fight as well as a (deserved?) England win. What a frustrating 1st half.

What a dirty and diving bunch of cheats Colombia are. Escaped a red for violent conduct too, ref bottled it. They deserve to be stuffed but that will never happen, they shall luckily win and I'll get £50 from it.

Colombia have no tactics except for shoot from distance and try and get the opposition get sent off. Think Colombia will nick this late on or in ET.

Alli seems unfit and Young is shit, sub them both off for Rose and Loftus-Cheek please.

England were on top without creating anything massive in the first twenty minutes, and you felt there was a goal coming. Then Colombia got amongst them, pushed up a bit, wound them up and broke up their rhythm. If anything they maybe shaded a very dull last quarter of an hour before half time.

You can be critical of the niggling, but it works and it's the right of the underdog.

That's the kind of strike that can knock you out if you're not prepared for it, so totally reasonable in my book. Colombia should be a man down after that.

I really don't think it was hard enough to warrant him going down. Bare in mind, I am still not impressed by it. He should have been off.

When you're repeatedly being jabbed and barged before it, apparently not. And it was not in his face lol.

Lol, delaying the penalty by complaining while players try to scuff up the penalty spot.

Should possibly have a penalty. Colombia are beyond belief with this though. Is Neil Warnock their manager?
