Is that a maths thing or a prediction? Having looked it up it’s a maths thing. Oo err Missus. I hope a team from this side of the draw wins it, even if it isn’t us. Unless Russia play for penalties every game, which I think is quite likely.
It was a statement of fact. Incredible isn't it? I don't think England will have a better chance of reaching a final. Now watch us get smashed by Colombia on Tuesday
I said it during week 1 and I’ll say it again, I’m loving this World Cup a lot more than I thought I would
Whilst the game is a little quieter, who has impressed enough so far to be contenders for your team of the tournament? A few I’d probably pick right now: From this game, Peresic and Modric, and maybe from earlier Akinfeev in goal. Cavan i is always worth a shout, and from England, Henderson, who has been so very safe and solid, the kind of midfielder every team needs.
They don't seem to know it, though. They just need to impose themselves a bit more on the game and they'll win. My son and I were debating at half-time who was the better player, Modric or Eriksen. He went for Modric, but it's Eriksen for me.
You’d think that knowing Russia stand between you and a World Cup semi final would be incentive enough, but there’s nowhere near the urgency I expected from Croatia.
