Reaction as England finally kill the curse of sorrow

England qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup on Tuesday night after winning on penalties for the first time in World Cup history.

Three Lions triumph 4-3 Colombian goalkeeper Yerry Mina canceled Harry Kane's penalty by scoring a header.

Jordan Pickford was the hero, thus saving Carlos Bacca's shot before Eric Dier reached the decisive goal and sent England's Delirium

victory sets a quarter-final against Sweden in Samara on Saturday, but most importantly, it put an end to a disastrous race for the three Lions, who had lost their previous three World Cup shootings.

Their semifinal with Germany at Italia's 90 (4-3), the draw 16 against Argentina at France 98 and the defeat in the quarterfinals (3-1) against Portugal in 2006 were all defeated. 19659003] These shootout defeats, along with three more at the European Championships (199 6, 2004 and 2012) were etched in memories of any fan of England old enough to remember.

So you can forgive them for celebrating as they had actually won the World Cup.

Is this really happening?
It should not be forgotten that @HKane scored in every game as captain, scored ALL target shots at #WorldCup and is currently 2 in the race for the golden boot ? #England

Surely this is not fair?
