Someone check on @Bubble181...
But we are all JCM.
England were solid, while Sweden looked bereft of ideas. There were a few good chances for Sweden, but England's back three and keeper were always up to the challenge. At the other end of the pitch, admittedly England were rather wasteful at times, but a couple of good crosses and headers and that's two goals. Also, Sweden worked hard at shutting down Harry Kane, but that meant there was more space for other English players to operate. The second England goal is a good example, with Dele Alli getting pretty much a free header. (Though I'm pretty sure someone was offside, so I'm not certain that goal should've counted)
On the whole this was a good result, but I'm still not convinced England have shown what it takes to beat Russia or Croatia. And France or Belgium are waiting in the final.

Also, I mentioned how my company has a hot Swedish intern, and I messaged her after the game to gloat, and she was a good sport about it, and then we started talking a bit about the other teams, and she said, and I quote,
So, Bubble, you've got a hot Swedish girl rooting for Belgium for you.

Tell her thanks...maybe in a not-too-bhamv-way.
Soccer, a slightly exaggerated description: You can't score during play, can't miss during the shootout.
We'll know for sure after the shootout, but yeah.
@Bubble181 that gif is from the music video "mmmmbop" which sounds similar to Mmbape.
Unless you're asking why I'm rooting for France and thats because Mmbape is literally the most exciting soccer player I've ever seen.

I guessed it was Hanson, but I hadn't made the mbop/Mbappé connection...they don't really sound the same to me.
But yes, Mbappé is a great player, he'll be "the revelation of the tournament" no doubt and one of the big names in four years' time.
I happened to notice something in the background of a certain webcomic. I think we now know who Phil Folglio is rooting for.
