Gareth Southgate, whose penalty miss sent England out of Euro '96, comforts Colombia’s Mateus Uribe after he missed his penalty last night.
The more I see of Mr Southgate, the more impressive he gets.
Very classy, very strong guy. pic.twitter.com/qM1bSUw1So— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 4, 2018

I wonder if this England team were able to keep their shit together despite provocation and penalties because, unlike a lot of those who've gone before them, they're not full of alpha male shouting, exhibitionism and self-importance.

Of course it went to penalties. And of course everyone expected England to lose. Because England always loses when it goes to penalties. But this a new England. https://t.co/wq3RU8jorI pic.twitter.com/Si2EJgVCPM

Colombia is very infamous for player killings when Andre Escobar was killed due to an own goal he scored in the World Cup 1994.
