Semifinals: Croatia vs England

[duncs pigeon]

Have all the haters come out to play now?

I'm proud of what that team have done in this WC. They can hold their heads high. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

I bet all the Jocks are cracking open their 2 litre bottles of Diamond White as we speak. Small pleasures I suppose.

With you on this mate. Very proud of them

Well played mate. Hopefully Vlasic gets to join up with World Cup winners next time.

Be a bit mad if this teams wins the thing when the team of Suker, Boban, Prosinecki etc didn’t!

He is our future. Hopefully Everton's too.

Done it again, they've won the 'Team for the future' award.

 

[GwladysBlue]

You must be taking the P.

No.

 

[Alan Whittle]

It’s an embarrassment. London has more than twice the population of Croatia.

Yes, fecking overcrowded London, poxy rush hour crammed on the tube, stupid rammed Oxford Street. Hugely embarrassing.

Even walker? Thought he's been dreadful all tournament.

Not really. He was decent. Probably need an actual defender who can play in a 3 in the future. His pace helps.

To think as well, Croatia's 2 previous games both went to pens, some fitness levels there.

Done it again, they've won the 'Team for the future' award.

No chance that team will ever get closer than this.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Everything.

Means sod all

 

[GwladysBlue]

Brazil has a population of 202 million odd
Belgium has a population of 11 million odd

You’re an idiot.

Brazil has won the WC 5 times.

How many times has Belgium won it?

Knobhead.

 

[Connor]

No chance that team will ever get closer than this.

The mental scar is there now.

They're done for.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Cricket and Rugby isn’t our national sport.

Sure, OK mate.

John Stones...no words he ruined everything. Pickford was ready to save whole team again in the penalties, we really handed it. Croats were exhausted. But talented legs and clear mind. Something we lacked.

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

I blame the 3-5-2 for that.

I think he should've played Lingard up with Sterling and Kane. Southgate was too conservative. 3-4-3 would've given a better balance.

There be the difference in technical ability these teams keep the ball they tire you out and pick you off if you don't take your chances
English footballers are blood and thunder give their all for 60/70 mins but always fall short
