World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 24 (7 July)

Have both teams already played one dose of extra time?

Yeah, Russia played Spain in extra time and Croatia played Denmark

I would give anything for Modric to come home.

Home?

Call me cynical but if this result remains the same i expect the first reports of hooligans causing trouble will be at the England game on Wednesday

As it stands I’d rather face Croatia than Russia. I think with home support in the semis. Russia will take some beating.

To be honest they both look pretty poor, we have won the golden ticket playing either of them in a World Cup semi final. That’s not to say we will win as we are hardly world beaters ourselves but we will never get s better chance to get to the final

Same. Modric deserves the chance to learn from Winks aka the English Pirlo.

No way the croatia GK makes the semi final. He's fucked. Good news for us.

Vida has the shittest haircut in the world.

He's a rough mum from the Jeremy Kyle show.

Yep.

Of course, they're thinking the same getting to play us.....

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

I don't like it, it seems artificial (and leads to more defensive play).

Agree to a certain extent. But with only 3 days to recover from a gruelling match, it's hard. Could also turn on the attack more?

England are ranked 12 th and Croatia 20th and I couldn’t be bothered to keep scrolling down to find Russia ?.
Look England can lose to almost anyone (Iceland) but for us to get to the semifinals and face at worst the 20th ranked side in the world we have had a massive touch

Those rankings are a joke.
