The whole chat from people who aren't English is to talk England down by saying 'They're shite, they haven't played anyone, they should've beaten everyone they've played already, they're playing Croatia in the semi and they'll never have a better chance at the final, especially as Croatia will be tired. FFS, jammy bastards are going to win it having played nobody.' Go through the last few England threads, that's what their detractors have been saying.Sounds like Bilic had a word with the Croatian squad about English arrogance:
Luka Modric post match interview - “People were talking ... English journalists, pundits from television,” he told ITV. “They underestimated Croatia tonight and that was a huge mistake. All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying: ‘OK, today we will see who will be tired.’ They should be more humble and respect their opponents more.
England say 'Right, we should be beating these teams we've played, we've got Croatia in the semi and they'll probably be tired after 2 consecutive games of extra time and penalties. We'll never have a better chance at this. We could win the World Cup.' and its shouted down as complete arrogance.
