Quarterfinals: Russia vs Croatia

[Goat]

England have had a charmed existence. If they get past Croatia (doubtful, imo) they will be steamrollered by France.

tbh I think Croatia are an average enough side.It is a winnable game for England.

 

[davek]

it will be a big test for Lovren - is this the first time he'll have faced Kane and Alli since they tore him into little bits at Wembley?

He's a weak link, but then so too is Stones. A dreadful defender untested here in Russia so far.

Eh?

You must be gutted your Crusaders have been landed with Croatia.

Not really, why should we fear some little pixie in a hairband?

Definitely don't see any wallopings in these 2 SFs. That's for sure. 2 great match ups with evenly matched teams.

...i see it as two technically gifted teams: Belgium and Croatia, a team with bags of self belief and spirit: England, and a superpower: France.

I've said for three weeks they should just give France the trophy now. They are on about five levels up on anything else here.

A dreadful defender who just won the double and 100 points.

Aye.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

A technically superior team to England.

Russia would have been easy meat. Not Croatia. Different proposition entirely.

Been taken to penalties the last two matches, they aint all that.

A dreadful defender who just won the double and 100 points.

Aye.

Sat half the season out. That's why they won it.

Have you forgotten how woeful he was here?!

...England have been playing trash teams, Croatia class teams.

Aye.

Commentator here said he only played in like 6 City games in 2018. Maybe it was 8.

I'd rather sing YNWA than that nationalistic BS.

He's utterley gash at defending. A danger in the oppositon box, for sure. But a liability against class forwards.
