Russia World Cup 18

[TheDrowningMan]

Kane against Lovren, I know how that movie ends.

A knackered Lovren at that.

[Aventus]

3/4 chance of one of our players returning with a world cup winners medal.

 

Was the last one Torres?

[Elite]

Unlucky Russia.

 

Putin will now release the hooligans.

 

Expect bloodshed from here on in.

Yep, they've been quiet but England fans run for your lives now.

[Saintslfc13]

Kane against Lovren, I know how that movie ends.

 

With a towering header by Dejan in the 94th?!

[Mr T]

That Subasic is a wanker, and I hate Modric’s gaunt fucking face, I’ll be cheering on Henderson and co on Wednesday.

Feel so much better now I know that.

[Gym Beglin]

I don’t get the Croatia hype. They’re shite

The best team left is Belgium, everyone else has been terrible to watch.

[Strontium]

There'll be a certain symmetry in Mignolet coming home with a World Cup winners' medal in the same season that Karius literally threw away the Champions League final.

[Aventus]

Unlucky Russia.

 

Putin will now release the hooligans.

 

Expect bloodshed from here on in.

I imagine it would have been much much worse if we knocked them out of the semis.

[CWD82]

They're an ageing team, but you can't deny they still have incredible mental strength.

still in it so they’ve got something but in both games in the knock outs I think they have been lucky.

 

Should have gone out against Denmark and again there tonight and where absolutely terrible both games.

 

That semi is gonna be a shite-fest.

 

I honestly can’t see why people are talking Croatia up

[Bjornebye]

It's Croatia but you know fucking zip about footy anyway

[Gym Beglin]

‘Man uses internet to snide other internet users opinion’ shocker.

 

“I couldn’t think of anything to google and I lost my head”

[dockers_strike]

I've been getting stick from people I work with as I'm convinced that regardless of who they play in the semi-final - even if they win - they won't get past Belgium/France.

 

I think England have a chance against both of these but it could go either way. No chance for me against Belgium or France.

 

If England get to the final I would give them a 50 50 chance. England are not conceeding a lot of goals. The game against Belgium was two B teams. In a one off game any thing can happen.

You know your career isn't going to plan when you're on the bench for the two biggest games in World football.

[Biscao]

England are big favourites to make a World Cup final. Mad.

 

Croatia were dead on their feet for the second consecutive game there. I suspect we’ll see a bit of a drama free affair in the semi 3-1 or thereabouts.

 

Indeed. Croatia looked dead even in the first 90 mins.

[Kevin D]

I don’t get the Croatia hype. They’re shite

They remind me of watching Sugar Ray Leonard against Hagler; do nothing for three quarters, flurry in the last quarter and steal the match.

[dockers_strike]

Unlucky Russia.

 

Putin will now release the hooligans.

 

Expect bloodshed from here on in.

 

Haha. I think he wants a lasting legacy to show the World how good Russia can be at hosting major finals.

[KMD7]

Unlucky Russia.

 

Putin will now release the hooligans.

 

Expect bloodshed from here on in.

This

[The Golden Eel]

Makes you wonder why Rakitic isn't taking Croatia's penalties usually

[Aventus]

Hopefully Croatia are knackered after having to play 240 minutes in their last 2 games.

[Grinch]

Sign Subasic

Nah, mate, people on here can now slag Croatia off and get behind mighty Ingerlund.

 

After all, England beat Burnley.  

And Croatia's goalie is apparently a wanker and they have people with gaunt, unattractive faces in their team, unlike, say, the new Jimmy Hill, Harry Kane.

For balance, England are shite too. Absolutely clueless in the final third

 

France will win this playing at 40%

Shite or otherwise, any of the 4 teams can win it from here.

 

It's as simple as that.

France playing at more than 40% concede two goals en route to losing to Sweden in qualifiers. They’re no great shakes. I think Croatia being utterly knackered is likely to be the end of them, but otherwise no-one is going to cruise this thing.

Croatia better than Belgium?
