You'd get one out there easier imo if you were willing to risk that. Btw I've just noticed that 'Tell wife' was right at the end
You need the ticket to get the FAN ID (I’m not Risking copying someone else’s) and that gets you into the country and through Belarus if I drive. Getting one out there also involves having a lot of cash at some point and I’m not keen on that either. I’m Not quite as good at running from trouble as I once was
Fair points... I imagine the land border would take some time too! And yeah there'll be people targetting fans of all nations wandering around looking for touts. You taking the lad with you if it comes off?
Massive quandary that one. Sadly no. He goes to India for a month the following weekend on one of these world challenge things. Supposed to have raised the money but most come from bank of Mum and Dad. Cost a lot too, so no way to justify that. Sadly.
Let's worry about Croatia first. Player for player their starting XI is arguably stronger, however England have been the better team, so far... It depends if the Croatia v Argentina shows up then it will be a tough tough game. I think we need the like of Sterling and Lingaard to keep Modric and Rakitic deep while Trippier needs to push Perisic back. Hoping we can just edge this !
I think their better players are in the main quite old and looked knackered the other night, if we turn up then I think our pace and movement will be too much for them. I'd stick Lingard on Modric personally. People have gone overboard on Croatia a bit imo, bar Argentina have they really been that great?
Oh it’s going to be tough. I have us as even teams. I think our attack edges their defence; their midfield edges ours and I’ll call it a draw between their attack and our defence. A lot will depend on how players handle the occasion. I’m going 1-0 England #ich
**** knows how I'm going to sleep in the morning... everyone will be posting getting excited and I won't be able to help myself
IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! #ich
