So torn here.

Russia are a poor side who i know England can beat with a performance similar to today, but home advantage and would be worried a lot of our players would lose their cool in the hostile atmosphere

Croatia are a better side who i think we'd struggle to beat if they are anywhere near full pomp, but have gone 120 twice and we'd prob fill half the ground. Less concerns about crooked refereeing as well.

See Bilic is making friends again
I'd rather Croatia for all the reasons you mention.

It has been the most open world cup I can remember. Absolutely anyone can win it now. There's no clear favourites IMO.

If Croatia miss one, they'll miss one more. It seems to happen a lot in major tournament shootouts that the team that misses first ends up winning.

Don't mind who we get. Either team will be tired, Croatia doesn't appear to be as good as most of us first thought, and Russia's defence should struggle against England - Sterling vs. a 38-year-old & Kane vs. an inexperienced 24-year-old has the potential to fruitful for us.

Oh that is awful from Kovacic. Telegraphed it worse than Henderson.

This is the exact opposite of the England v Colombia shootout! Shit penalties galore!
