I reckon it was made that easy on purpose, it's not like they'll object to another 10,000 or so English fans turning up...

One game at a time. Going to be a nervy game. No space for Modric on the edge of the box, hopefully our pacey players can exploit the pockets and push their fullbacks back and keep Rakitic et al. too deep.
As it stands, Vrsaljko won't be fit to start. It's a huge handicap for us as we don't have another proper right back in the squad, we'll have to put a CB there. He 's the only player we couldn't afford to lose, for this team it's easier to replace Modric than it is Vrsaljko. And we're alread handicapped on the left side because Strinic is the worst left back that played in the World cup. Oh, and he moved from Napoli to AC Milan this summer, can't wrap my head around it

I'm not having that and trying to get out of it. England semi finals at World Cups don't come around every day!!
On the bright side....if we win you can watch the final and if we lose...well, you saved yourself the pain.
I will also miss the match due to being on late shift...............and work has refused to allow us to watch it or even listen to it
