YES YES YESSSSSS CROATIA come oooon

goals aside, sleepy at halftime

I had expected more of Croatia, based on their previous matches. Hopefully they will wake up in time.

did you see the russian GRAVITY GUNS kicking that ball out of the goal???

also:


i was thinking maybe we overrated them from argentina sucking so much

also: maybe putin threatened everyone’s family

whatever happens i hope this doesn’t go to extra time.

england the most entertaining team of this whole bracket so far so here’s hoping they make the final.

belgium probably the one from the other— those lightning counters were just glorious

poison dart on subasic. clearly. and fsb telekinetic hitmen.

o man

this is insane

poor game but thrilling score

yeah, pure drama though.

And this is all good for England. Both teams look totally hammered

Gowan sexy Luca, put Putin in his place

England would be more likely to beat Russia, but I'd like to see Putin's subjects get hoofed out

yeeeeeeeeessssssssss

England - Croatia. Can we beat Croatia? Absolutely

We'll get absolutely minced by the French if we face them in the final, we might have a shot against the Belgians.

Absolutely is right. People talk about Kane looking tired, Croatia were out on their feet at the end of that.

Agree. Belgium are better but it'll be almost like a Prem derby. Very very hard to call. France will be too much though.

well yeah you just had come out of an extra time game

but come wednesday croatia will have played 2 extra times in a row while you relatively rested

injuries will pile up

I felt the talk about Kane looking knackered was overblown, he looked as tired as Lukaku did. And Kane is a better player overall than Lukaku

er... i dont know that this is correct

see: lukaku’s counters

but it’s a no-brainer that the one who played extra time would be more tired.

didn’t mean kane was falling with exhaustion—he just was not his usual speed (and maybe he didn’t even need to).

you know who’s gonna be knackered wednesday though?

all of croatia. two extra times in a row. the keeper cramping up even.

i’d send them all to the massage table for the next 3 days and skip training.

modric though— impressive shape. the way he ran until the end was insane.

Modric doesnt get knackered, he drinks from the fountain of youth

I reckon England can pressure him though, we've got the second best mifield unit around with Henderson Alli and Lingaard

The French will mince us though, and they will mince Croatia if its them too
