Semifinals: Croatia vs England

[nsno-chris]

I hope Modric makes horrendouson cry again

Can't wait for 7pm.
Hopefully the boys do the business and make the country even more proud of them than it already is. But if they lose, que sera sera, we have all enjoyed the ride.
I wish all of them all the best, even 'Hendo'.
Come on Harry! Win that golden boot!

Would be great to see two Tottenham players captaining their countries in the final of the WC.

It's coming home....

*prays for Hendo OG goal pariah

We pray.

Hoping some more Jordan Pickford heroics see England through to the Final

3 - 1 England

 

[nsno-chris]

Do it for this man

 

[MikeH72]

I. Am. EXCITED.

Not worth playing this. If either side fancy the bronze medal then I suppose it is. But this is the SF to decide who goes through to be pumped by France....it's a bit like that CL SF between Liverpool and Roma.

Bet you are moaning about the weather too

Modric vs Henderson

Modric can’t rely on bale, Ronaldo and Karus in a supporting role.
Croatia have the two best players on the pitch and but England prob trump them everywhere else

Another reason I can't be an England fan: https://news.sky.com/story/sky-views-englands-success-is-for-the-real-fans-11432705

Frankly, English football has done well out of me, and I reckon I deserve to enjoy the success.

But one of the things that tempers that prospect is that I'll have to share the delight with so many part-time fans. The people who don't normally care about football, who never go to a game, or even watch Match of the Day.

The people who normally treat football as being a bit beneath them, but who now want to join in the party, even though they're not sure which one is Kieran Trippier, and whether he's the goalkeeper. But aren't the songs such fun?

Bell.

Can only see one winner and that's ENGLAND. Play at a high pace and the Croats will be knackered by half time. I would play Sterling purely to run the legs off them. 2-1 England

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Toss a coin for this one I think, tough to call. I'm gonna happily sit in my neutral corner and hope for a good, entertaining game, where Lovren gets sent off for a bad challenge on Hendo and then gets hounded out of Anfield by the delightful RS.

And then in a show of Croatian-Egyptian solidarity, big Mo follows suit and hands in a transfer request.

..I think Sterling could be the key. He’s the one England player who has the ammunition to hurt the very best but has yet to fully fire in the competition.

I hope England win. I think England have a very decent shout and it would make the final of great interest.
