Massively disappointed by Italy this tournament.

I can't see them scoring but let's hope they at least make a game of it now.

Barella their only hope at creating anything.

 

Modric looks like the missing smaller brother of Mckenzie Crook and the lad from This Country ... some player mind ...

 

Great noise from the Croatia fans ...

 

Does it occur to Italy ( and England) that they can play like this BEFORE they go behind

 

Croatian keeper got one hell of a punch on him ...

 

Italy finally being Italy

 

Chiesa's done really well since the goal.

Agree with Murphy strange sub taking Kovacic off.

 

Italian centre back Bastoni looks a cracking player ...

 

Spurs tried to sign him but we got Van de Vert instead

 

Both these teams are very beatable. There’s really very little to fear at this tournament other than how **** we are.

 

Croatia leaving a foot in all over the park ...

 

The Dutch detective?

 

Unnecessary tackle from behind from some big bastard Yugoslavian full-back just because he can. This is what we want to see.

 

OK Van de Ven

 

So close Italy ... this has been a good watch since Italy went behind ...

 

Oooftt, heartbreak for the Croats. Superb finish though.

 

Skin of teeth

 

What drama... Croatia threw it away ...

 

A draw with Slovenia knocks Croatia out.

 

They need England to win by three. There’s a flight to Zagreb in an hour lads.
