I looked at the odds when you posted it and I was tempted but didn't put any money on it. It was 12/1.
This really is our best chance of reaching a final... the best team we can meet on the way is Croatia!
Need Denmark to win tonight, would've fancied to play Spain ahead of Croatia tbh. Colombia are no mugs though, think all the teams will be thinking they have a good chance of reaching the final tbh.
Switzerland or the Swedes won't be pushovers, We've history with Sweden, who can forget the infamous "turnip" headline... please log in to view this image BUT, We have to be favourites in our half now to make the final, all things being equal and if we play to our ability I think we'll do it.
So we would play against Russia if we go trough tonight. We're definitely better than Denmark, I hope we don't buckle under pressure. We couldn't have wished for a easier road to semifinal.
Yeah Croatia are a very good side of course, but if someone had offered you before that they were the best team on our side of the draw in the KO rounds you'd have bitten their hand off!
For those that missed it, Clattenburg conclusively showed in his tv analysis that Spain should NOT have had a penalty.
If we play like we did against Tunisia and Panama, then we have nothing to fear, even from Croatia, it really is in our own hands IMO.
LOL you cannot take performances against such minnows as a sign of anything. Let's see how you'll do against Columbia who are a serious team, unlike Tunis and Panama who are step above pub teams.
Colombia is the big one. Beat them and I think our confidence/momentum will carry us through to the final.
