Aye Modric was a wee bit lucky and Russia had two awful penalties but apart from that...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went on to be runners up to Brasil in the World Cup in Chile. In '62 the SFA would have been relieved about not having to shell out for the air fares.

Brassrubber Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If croatia play in their chequered strips they will win - simples ingurland are the worst team by far of the 4 left their defence is shyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If Croatia didn't have Mandzukic in such poor confidence they would be the most complete team remaining in the tournament. They do have Rakitic and Modric though, who should boss the English midfield and then some. So here's hoping..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 4 hours ago, Catchart Circle said: There is an inevitability regarding Englands relentless path to the final and there are parallels with Andy Murrays first Wimbledon title. All the fancied opposition exit in the early rounds leaving a relatively easy path to the final - and I'm taking nothing away from England in saying that as they still had to win those games. In the Final Murray played the game of his life against Djokovic just as England will do against Belgium. Brazil I feel would have been too strong but again a good result for England last night. Belgium to best France on Tuesday and I predict a narrow extra time win for England over Belgium and they will be Champions of the World in eight days time. Brazil would be stronger than Belgium? De Bruyne and Hazard regularly rip it up in the EPL. Brazil are toothless up front. Gabriel? Jesus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave78 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 3 hours ago, Barney Rubble said: Ivan Rakitic - easily the coolest Joe in this World Cup. But please play 30 metres further on up the park on Wednesday. That's been doing my head in whenever i've seen Croatia play. It's either Rakitic or Modric playing as deep as the centre backs. Why??

macy37 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Sweden were never going to beat they cunts, they’re are dire team. That performance v Germany earlier was rotten as was today’s. They’ll beat Croatia too as they are not that good either. Folk on here get all misty eyed about them when in reality they’re mediocre. France beating them cunts is our only hope. I’ve just volunteered to work on the day of the final. 2 to 10 shift as there’s no chance I’m watching that pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The most enjoyable World Cup for yonks is going to be won by them. To add insult to injury, they’ll be holders for 6 months longer than usual with it being a Christmas World Cup in 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 What you need is a bit of contingency planning: England's first defeat after 1966 win: Scotland England's first defeat as Rugby world champions: Scotland. Get it pencilled in the diary - you can always cancel after the Croatia game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Wife has got Five Live on, just been told everyone waking up with a smile on their face. How about 'no'! Can't the BBC recognise that not everyone on these islands support them, that actually there's more to the British isles than England.
