You'd think Croatia would win this but well, Putin.
Russia will play for penalties and win like they did against Spain.
Well if it goes to extra time and pens that's at least gonna tire out whoever wons...
Come on Russia.
I think Croatia would beat us.
It's obviously a mental thing for Croatia. If this group of players can't step up now, it would be a massive disappointment.
Who do we want to lose?
Doped up Russian players or a good Croatia team?
ITV's programme starts now.
Though the first part of it (i.e the fulll hour) will be devoted to the England match.
ITV not even going to pretend they don't already know the result. :lol:
Neville, Dixon and Bilic in the studio.
Pougatch reminds Neville of his failures at Euro 2016. :lol:
Jacqui Oatley thinks Larsson is getting stick because of his Scottish background. WTF?

Yeah talks sense most of the time and tends to avoid lapsing into BS
Russian national anthem. :bow:
Cheryshev steaming in but can only scuff the shot, blocked.
Great block from Lovren to deny Dzyuba.
Good play by Rebic, Akinfeev shovels it behind.
Poor header from Rebic.
Lively start ☺
Modric seems to be playing very deep
Got to hope Croatia win. An England-Russia semi would be full of so much BS. The world would shift on it tilt axis.
WTF Kuzyaev? :haha:
Rebic is great.
Rakitic freekick, piss poor.
Rakitic :lol:
Rakitic toepokes it out of play for some reason.
Some fat bastard in the crowd.
Come back Sweden <_<
I reckon this is going all the way to penalties.
Rakitic is having a real 'mare so far
Header from Perisic flicked on but way wide.
This side of the draw really living down to expectations.
But on the whole Belgium are really the only ones to play decent, flowing, attacking football in all their games. Even with their d-team. Despite the presence of Screech, Azar, Vertonghen and Vincent 'Belgian JT' Kompany in their side, you would say so far they're the team most deserving of the title.
CHERYSHEV!!!
Russia 1-0 Croatia, CHERYSHEV!!!!
What a strike!
What a goal!
What a goal!
:popcorn:
What a goal.
They’re gonna pub it again.
Best Dennis since Bendtner.
