Semifinals: Croatia vs England

[ilikecheese]

They just knew we weren't scoring

Big gamble.

Also who's chips did Loftus Cheek piss on to not be used in that game?

Micks?????????????????????????

1916 was the date of the Easter Rising, when some Irish lads thought they could come against The Queen and got their City bombed, hardly a great day in Irish history.

Which “Queen” would that be?

I can't believe English people are criticising the referee. The better team won a game of football. It is that simple.

France will destroy them. England let them off the hook and France won't.

What game did you watch today?

Given the circumstances in which it happened I didn’t really notice this at the time but nice reaction

On re-watch, one of them is down there on his back with camera in one hand still trying to take pics with a smile on his face...I don't think he was too bothered. lol

M'bappe and Griezmann are inhuman.

There was a point in their last game where he just outpaced 3 opposition players and played a long ball to Griezmann that he stopped as if it was nothing and it was flying literally over him at the time. Insanity.

It didn't end in a goal, and I was pulling for Belgium but that was amazing. First half one touch across the box if I'm correct?

I think it's actually my favorite play from the world cup. The way he just slid that across the box on his foot from that long ball was beautiful.

Why's that friend? Maybe because most of the commenters are from a country where they are separating children from their families for the crime of being slightly brown? Or maybe cos some people are posting from a country where they have only just accepted the fact that women don't have to be forced to carry a pregnancy against their wishes?

I agree, those countries sound pretty right wing to me. I personally cant understand why some people with no ties to Sweden or croatia were rooting for them, but looking at the player characteristics I can guess

Your posts have been atrocious in this thread. Your team lost, that sucks. But to start attacking people like this in this thread have been horrendous.

I usually root for England but really didn't care for this side. Don't care for Kane, even though his story is great, and I can't stand Alli.

I wanted Colombia to beat them. Basically calling everyone not from England racist for rooting against them is weak sauce, especially when your own press attacked Sterling over a tattoo he had. And I have a post history of defending Sterling. It has nothing to do with race on this board in my opinion. I find most people one here not to be racists.

Just didn't care for the team and usually is root for England. I like Modric, I like how Croatia plays. It can be annoying at times, but they play a smart game in my opinion.

Your media denigrates Pogba and Lukaku every chance it gets. It's the common theme that runs through football and all sports. The scrappy guys are popular and the favorites/ athletically gifted/ guys who make it look easy get shafted by all besides their own fans.

It's a double standard, but it is what it is.

It has nothing to do with your ramblings of immigration or abortion policies.

Usual technique is to wind up those supporting the losing team so surely bonus marks for both targetting and getting bites from those who in theory are in a happier place and less easily goaded.

Yep. I played nice.

A few were ready to absolutely boil over with a little goading. Felt mean spirited to take advantage. We're all Blues afterall.

I will add that he played the Trump card to perfection. It's definitely a trigger.
