Nice part of the world! We’re about 30 mins away in Barton unfortunately!

You're up the road from me mate. I'm in Hitchin.

(This is now the Hertfordshire chat thread isn't it?)

Back to football - does anyone else think we may need to change the formation against Croatia or risk being overrun in midfield?

No. Keep it as it is and play our game. They don't have the most mobile defence, I wouldn't want to risk upsetting the balance of our players potentially ripping apart their defence by tinkering.

If it doesn't look like its working in midfield I'd rather we addressed that as and when.

Plus I'd personally be gutted for the player/s who get dropped. They've done so well so far and to a man deserve their place in the semi-final.

Keep it how it is, changing anything now is counter productive, this team is setup to counter anyway I've always said that so personally I think it's a good idea to let Croatia have the ball so we can spring.

Maguire seems very articulate for a young England player.

In all four of the Maguire photos on this page, it looks like his head has been poorly photoshopped onto someone else's body.

Prefer Hitchin to Tring actually, bet the takings at Osinsky’s is through the roof!

The Croatian assistant has been suspended by the Croatian football federation for saying in a video "This is a victory for Dynamo [Kiev] and Ukraine" after their penalty shoot out. Vida said the same sort of thing but has been let off with a warning. Oops.
