    I have zero preference on tonight.

    Croatia have the better players.

    Russia have the home support.

    We can beat both of them.

    I'm slightly more scared of Russia, because of the home crowd factor personally.

    Italia '90 is still my favourite WC, but this one could still potentially be better.

    I remember watching Italia 90 but I was 10 years old. This is what got me hooked on football... I didn’t realised at the time the gravity of getting to a World Cup SEMI final! I do now :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Lineker pointed out that 17 of our present England squad weren't born in 1990.

    Feeling old?

    I would prefer it if Croatia won tonight, as they would be the team that knocked out Russia (the hosts) so the match on Wednesday would be between us and the team that knocked out the home team, so that may mean that the Russians would be rooting for England # Ever hopeful

    We'll win, whatever!

    Me too. Sentimentally I'd like the Russians to go through, but better for us if they don't.

    Specially if they rugby tackle our players like they are doing with Croatia...

    Playing at home is a big advantage, even South Korea made the S/F in 2002, i'd be quite happy to be facing Croatia tbh.
