England Croatia

Spoiler thread ...

... where are you watching?

I’m in an apartment in the Schwarzwald, with a tiny TV and a dodgy satellite signal - apparently the local Gasthof has decided there is no audience for its big screen ... the German commentary team on ZDF don’t look/sound full of joy either ...

got tennis on lappie....telly on footie !

[sunny-dave]

Is it just me, or is this “pass the ball to the keeper’s feet” eventually bound to go bosoms up?

Nearly did for the Croats just now & Pickford lookd a bit flustered a couple of minutes ago too?

[murraymints]

OMG..how did he miss that ?

[murraymints]

should be 4 up !

[NoMercy]

That's the way to do it, Minters xx

[NoMercy]

Minty, that's EXACTLY what I just said to OH

[murraymints]

great minds ! lol

[-SharonA-]

The Croatian team are fine bunch of handsome men!!

[murraymints]

think they need a visit from a good barber !

[murraymints]

half time..pep talk..Irn Bru and bacon wi broon !

[Voltage]

As Dave mentioned earlier all this passing about with the keeper could cost us dearly!

[Old_Geezer]

Should've had more, but near the end of the first half I was waiting for the expected England lose lead before the interval. At least they avoided that. Croatia have had opportunities.

[Sqad]

Missed chances......assertive......only one goal ahead.
Long way to go yet.
Emotions and discipline must be maintained.
They must finish this off.

[murraymints]

need to tighten things up a bit.. lost opportunities...

[Voltage]

Totally agree sqad need another goal and stop poncing about playing it back to pickford get at em! they are there for the taking

[Arksided]

I've not being too overly impressed by the back passing to Pickford, as mentioned one slip... game changer.

Overall though apart from the finishing I've being really impressed by the whole team. Come on now lads finish it off!

[jakep]

Home with oh who has been overcome with the knowledge of 100 football managers. He does agree with the passing to Pickford though.
Think I’ll go and water the garden. Our estate is so quiet that I won’t miss any goals!!

[Voltage]

Totally agree arky

Ich; the Russian fans are probably reacting to the anti-Russian sentiment that came from the Croatian camp after knocking the hosts out in the last round.

[murraymints]

calm doon chaps !
