I Am A Croat !

[Togo]

Well until Sunday anyway. Brilliant performance from Croatia. The Argentinians seem to have lost the ability to cheat their way to victory. Luka Modric is a little wizard. Never mind Messi or Ronaldo. This man has skill and heart beyond his physical stature.

Messi had a poor game by his own standards, I really didn't see that scoreline coming... even though I think Croatia are underrated. I actually had the Argies down to win the tournament.

they didn't have to play that well, the Argies need to go back to Tierra del Fuego and regroup. They were like a flooded sub with no missiles. 'Larga vida a las malvinas británicas'.....

Still laughing here.

Wife kept going on about karma for the *** gobbing over her years ago after the war when she was in italy. Brave lot group of blokes vs one woman.

I hope it was a nice surprise then Arks. Messi is less than average without 5 others to do the donkey work. Thing is all the "big" sides seem to be like rabbits in the headlights. What has happened? Have the recent exposures at FIFA cut off the bribe the officials route to success?

[Togo]

I have a bad throat from shouting and cheering Yomaflog. Haha. "She who must be obeyed" is bemused(Welsh, but lovely) :)) :)).

They can't go back there DTC they are liable to meet a hitman.

[Arksided]

Well there's certainly no love lost when it comes to Argentina, I just thought that they'd have the attacking fire-power to see them all the way through. It is nice to be wrong sometimes.

Are you suggesting that FIFA were corrupt once upon a time... I don't believe it ;-)

[Togo]

Lol Arks. Nooo, all upon a time. (^_*)

[Arksided]

Indeed.

[DTCwordfan]

no wonder the ball bends as it does - gather the ex FIFA arch criminal was in Moscow as a guest of 'Putain' - how inflammatory and insensitive is that.

[ichkeria]

Most enjoyable. It irked me the way Lawrenson kept implying somehow that a freak goalkeeping error changed the game. It helped, but Croatia were much better throughout

[Tilly2]

Wow. They won!

[roopower]

To start with I thought you'd invented a new word, I read it as croat as in coat. Wish I'd watched the whole match now.
