Doesn't matter. It's on ITV, we're fucked regardless.

I hate pens but what a match. My friend and business partner who is Croatian is back in Croatia on vacation watching the match out in the town with his countrymen - having a lot more fun than me.

Russia should feel proud. A great tournament for everyone so far and they played with heart.

They don't seem to deal with corners or free kicks well.... Bonus for England!

Luka Modric was amazing once again today, MOTM imo. He did everything, been the best midfielder in the tournament imo. Can only dream to have him back at Tottenham

Modric is Real Madrid's best player, he's been the reason why they've been dominating the CL.

Only intelligent football purists appreciate and understand how good he is. The most underrated player of his generation.

Pirlo gets more praise, yet isn't half as successful.

@tiger666 what did you disagree with? That he was MOTM today, that he’s been the best midfielder this WC or that you don’t want him back at Tottenham?

Subasic dancing on the line was so irritating. Akinfeev was great.

I'd rate Kante and KDB above him.

couldnt have worked out better for England. Both Mandzukic and Vrsalko looked pretty banged up after that.

I could still see a France v Croatia final, but England have got a bloody chance.

In this WC? No way. Don’t get me wrong both of them has been very good especially Kante but Modric has been next level, he’s carrying Croatia right now. And Imo KDB started off the WC a bit slow

Nah Colombo's minus James, and Sweden are middling teams
Workman like, Croatia have more about them. Not France or Belgium level but still a very dangerous team on their day

As a neutral, I’m glad it’s Croatia that goes through, as Croatia would provide a better spectacle in the SF than Russia would and there would be no home ground advantage for either team.

I feel better playing Croatia tbh, I just don't trust the Russians...they have the momentum and the crowd and they are more likely to turn up and play out their skins especially in Moscow.
