In any other match, I would very much hope so.

England Semi Final? Not so much. Makes me a bad Blue to some I guess, utterly arsed.

Recently I was having to prepare myself for the mental gymnastics of Pulisic signing with Liverpool. Thankfully it appears Spurs are the rumored club in for him.

I was really gonna struggle with that I think. I don't hate Spurs, so much easier on me.
 
Croatia have struggled against the more defensive teams, can see them having more success in a game like this

Quite possibly. What is certain is that on a Croatian football forum somewhere, they will be discussing how to negate England from set pieces, and worrying about the pace we have.

Not getting gaga about it, but, just if......scenes on Sunday.

They have no farther to look than Russia's second goal for set piece defending worries. It was comically bad.

Two semifinals in 26 years ain't too shabby for a nation of a little over 4 million people.

That’s the thing about Croatia, our of that few a number of people, you don’t half churn out some cracking players over the years. Used to really love Boban, and wasn’t about half the Yugoslavia team that got kicked out of Euro 92 Croatian too?

Well I'm not Croatian, but I do agree about them churning out top players from a very small pool of people. Uruguay is the same...only 3.4 million folks there.

Croatia have only been a nation for 26 years, so pointless to bring up their tournament records.

I did say it was irrelevant.

As is this

In Croatia's last semi they lost to France who went on to win the trophy

All of it is meaningless
