Luka is top class but we know that already as is Rakatic.

Croatia are a really good team, they could do a lot in this tournament.

Surprised Charlie's playing in this game after that hole in the head he got. Tough bastard.

Just got in from work, cracking last 10 minutes. Croatia do look tasty though. What happened to Modric?

Genuinely, England have been one of the better teams at this tournament. Most of the games and performances in this tournament have been wank.

Disagree. There are just no easy games any more. The general standard of coaching, tactical preparation, fitness etc is just so much better these days.

I think there's something different and worthy of optimism about this England team, it's the most balanced and cohesive team for a long time, I think Hodgson has generally picked a format that suits the players he has, which is novel at any level but especially in an England manager, but lets not get carried away, England got a plum draw. Russia are very poor and Wales are very poor but with Ramsey and Bale and England still lack intelligence in their play and movement and without the ball at times.
