Sadly? This is good!Sadly, I can only see an England win.
I have tried hard but just can't bring myself to want them to win at football.
So have iHope so i have Eng semi final double with France of course!
Currently down in Liverpool with the missus. Atmosphere in town is really good. Don’t really care who wins tbh but going out to enjoy the atmosphere anyway.
Watching big Jo Wilson previewing everything on SSN. The Nats aren’t going to be happy with her at all.
Whether you want England to win and I do the honest truth is they have played no one up till now except Belgium who beat them and win or lose tonight barring a miracle like France getting a player sent off or something they have literally no chance against a team with the quality of France who are by far in my opinion easily the best team in the world right know.Can see this going in to extra time and possibly penalties.
Both teams aren't exactly World beaters, just been lucky that the mighty Germany, Argentina, Brazil and Spain didn't turn up.
Will a tense one for sure. I could see Modric being able to unlock the England back line.
Anyway, a plea: could posters please refrain from telling people who they should support. Some people want England to win, some don't, and some aren't bothered. Let's just leave it at that.
They'll be fine, they had a full 72 hours rest since Saturday, more than enough for a pro athleteFor all those reckoning Croatia will be knackered after 2 long games, the reality is they have only played an extra 30 minutes of actual football more than England. If Modric and Rakitic are on their game they will dominate the game and give Mandzukic opportunities. Croatia weak link is likely their left back Strinic, took them until more than 70 minutes to sub him in Russia game.
As I am wearing my red and white checks today I am rooting for a local win. Will be a close 2-1 Hrvatska.

Good points.England reserves vs Belgium reserves. And England made a very decent Colombia side (who most said were the hardest team this side of the draw) look pretty pish to be honest except one half of extra time. Sweden played very well in every game they played with admittedly some very poor finishing at times, apart from vs England were they didn't have a sniff.
You can think France will win all you like, but don't try and say England have played nobody any use.
tbf england are pretty average the arent as good as the press would have you believe2-0 England, Croatia laboured against two very average sides to pens, it will have taken a toll on them.

wrong mate like you ive seen most games and i think england have rode their luck i just think croatia have more too them than englandI don't care what the press say, I've watched most games this World Cup, and they are definitely one of the more impressive teams. Sounds like you base you opinion on the press rubbing you up the wrong way mate.
I think England didn’t play to their best in the game either. I think they can play better and be more clinical. Kane, Sterling and Lingard could all have been better on the day. I think Rashford could also be a decent option from the bench, if required.Colombia spent about 75 minutes trying to wind the England players up and then decided when that wasn't working, to play some football
England didn't look clever at all in that last 15 minutes or the extra time period against Colombia, so teams that actually try to play football have a good chance
