Match Day Thread WC Semi Final England v Croatia

same team same subs? I reckon so.
Got to get hold of modric and rakatic.
It can be done. It will be done.
Come on England

 

3-1. Sterling to score. Easy win for England

It’s coming home

 

Croatia have peaked, they looked **** last night. We’re still gaining momentum & yet to peak.

Three nowt.

Nothing left to fear. It’s coming home.

 

3-2 win with a nail biting last 10mins when they score late on

 

Same team for me, same subs.

Croatia looked ****e last night, and looked **** at the end.

No doubt they could turn into world beaters on Wednesday, but seems unlikely.

I can't see us beating Belgium or France in the final, although stranger things have happened, but I am hopeful we'll be in the final.

You Lions.

 

Same team for me, although I’m not sure Dele is 100% fit so potentially a change there
Croatia didn’t like it up em against the Russkis and looked exhausted so hopefully the extra time and the few hours less rest they have will help us
Keep Modric pushed deep and get all over Rakatic and we could possibly get into a World Cup Final for the first time in my life
The fact I’m even thinking that and not immediately assuming we’ll play like ‘typical England’ and **** it up is telling in itself.

 

Hoping Croatia is feeling jaded, 2 extra times and penalties hopefully will take there toll. As it has been said above keep Modric and Rakatic quiet and we start a good chance.

 

Its the hope that kills you Den, as we know all too well, both Hull City and England.

I'm confident for a return to normality soon.

 

I think fatigue is going to play a part for the Croatians. They looked out on their feet last night.

 

I’m not sure Kane is fit either, played well within himself yesterday. Needs rest.

 

Can you put WC SF on the thread header please, these things are important, we didn't even have the internet last time we made the WC SF's ta

 

Their defence is suspect. That Vida is just a hipster Colin Hendry wanna be.

Expect Stirlo to flick it over his head and bury it a la Gascoigne.

Express yourself, it's one on one.

 

I was at Wembley the night Carson threw it in the top corner to stop us getting to Euro 2008 , got fookin soaked to the bone cos I was a wally without a brolly . Hope we take revenge and smash them to pieces . Think it will be close tho , Croatia unpredictable and can be really good or bang average . We have ITV doing their best to jinx it too , in for a nervy night I reckon . Wouldn't be surprised to see penalties again.

 

I'm already nervous and it's Sunday God knows what I will be like on Wednesday.

 

ITV with Slaven on & Dixon brown nosing him will piss me off. I’m guessing CTV will have McClaren on their panel?

It should be a completely unbalanced “England are going to win the World Cup, so **** Croatia” programme.

 

Get pissed, stay pissed.

I was on my way to booking flights last night until Lady Cheshire reminded me I had hospital appointments tomorrow & Thursday.

 

Agreed!

Hopefully nothing serious.

 

You can't be wrong. After all, when something's good, it's never gone.




I think everyone needs to remember in times like these that not only is football coming home, but that also love's got the world in motion.

 

Agreed but we totally mashed them in the next qual series.

4-1 away and was it 5-1 at home?
