Thursday 7th May

Recount Plan I would like you to write your recount of a sporting event in first person past tense. Importantly, I do not want you to write you a newspaper report recount; I want you to imagine you are the person in the sporting event. For example, I might want to be Eric Dier and write a recount of scoring the winning penalty kick in the game vs Colombia; or I might want to be Usain Bolt and write a recount of setting the 100m world record. You can choose any sporting event that you would like, it doesn’t have to be one of the videos you saw yesterday.

Follow the structure above to plan for your recount writing. You may have to research the key information if you don’t already know it.

Friday 8th May (not March like I wrote last week!)

Use your plan from yesterday to write your recount. I would love to see these when you have finished. If you can, either write it on a computer or take a picture of it after you have finished and upload it to our new FROG website. I will mark your writing and send you some feedback. I look forward to reading your recounts!

England won a World Cup penalty shootout for the first time on a night of high drama in Moscow, overcoming Colombia to secure a quarter-final meeting with Sweden.

Amid a fevered atmosphere inside Spartak Stadium, Eric Dier scored the winning kick after Jordan Pickford's brilliant save from Carlos Bacca.

England's famous victory sets up a meeting with Sweden in Samara on Saturday.

Manager Gareth Southgate celebrated with his staff while his players mobbed the heroes Pickford and Dier after their first win at the knockout stage of major tournament since 2006.

Southgate's side looked to have emerged unscathed from an ill-disciplined match courtesy of Harry Kane's penalty, only for Colombia's Yerry Mina to equalise in the closing seconds of stoppage time to send the massed ranks of Colombia fans wild.

The extra 30 minutes could not separate the sides and led to a nerve-shredding finale that has so often been England's undoing, with a dismal record of just one win in seven shootouts at major tournaments before this.

England looked to be set for more agony when Jordan Henderson's penalty was saved by David Ospina but Mateus Uribe smashed the following kick on to the crossbar to pave the way for Pickford and Dier to be England's saviours.

No previous world champions stand between England and the final. The winners of their quarter-final will face either Croatia or hosts Russia for a place in the Moscow showpiece on 15 July.

England edge towards glory

Southgate's one-match-at-a-time mantra has been designed to keep expectations in check as his side have been presented with their best opportunity at a World Cup since they reached the semi-finals of Italia 90.

If he was listening to the England fans who gathered and sang non-stop late into the Moscow night behind the goal in the Spartak Stadium, it may have dawned on him that keeping a lid on expectations is likely to be a losing battle.

England will have taken a lot out of themselves in this physically gruelling and mentally taxing last-16 game and they now face the well-organised and resilient Swedes.

If they can overcome Sweden, the possibility of a semi-final meeting with Russia or Croatia comes into view.

England found a way to win here that has often eluded them, digging deep in the process - and they will have headed back to their Zelenogorsk training HQ in soaring spirits.

There is work to do, though, and this was not a flawless performance by any means, but England and Southgate have now regained the momentum they lost in their group-stage loss to Belgium and can look to build on that.
