2018 FIFA World Cup Finals

[Touring Mars]

Picture was breaking up for about 2 mins before the game and just before the goal, but it looks OK now - I think it's an STV conspiracy!

Nice goal in the first 5min. This could end up being a 4-0 if Croatia doesn't hold up.

 

[88GTA]

Croatia already tired...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Fantastic start for England. 👍

 

[Jimlaad43]

Sterling is playing well for once. Maybe he'll actually score

 

[Touring Mars]

Lovren should be on a yellow by now...

I've had an ice-cream

Ice cream for CRO?

 

[Tired Tyres]

Both Kane and Lingard have missed really good chances. Gerr.

 

[jake2013guy]

Lovren should be on a yellow by now...

Agreed.

Ice cream for CRO?

 

[Touring Mars]

England are well in control but haven't pressed home their advantage... yet.

 

[Tired Tyres]

England being idiots trying to play football in their last quarter of the pitch. Morons. ​

 

[jake2013guy]

Lovren is a prick. And I don't think anyone's surprised by that.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

All England, great first half from them but still only 1-0.

 

[Robin]

England fan reaction vids extra liquid-y this time because it was only 5 minutes in and everyone's pints were full!

He certainly been wasteful in front of goal but Sterling has played well in every game so far. None of the defences he's faced have found a way to keep him quiet.

Exactly this. And this is important to break teams down. They tire chasing Sterling and spreads them apart.

This would never happen in Scotland.

 

[Woodybobs]

This would never happen in Scotland.

Certainly not in a knockout game

 

[Touring Mars]

Why do players only ever applaud their team mates when they've totally over-hit a cross?

Certainly not in a knockout game

Ouch

I take it back about Lovren deserving to be on a yellow by now - he should be at least a purple belt.

 

[PzR Slim]

How has Lovren not been booked?

 

[jake2013guy]

How has Lovren not been booked?

Illuminati confirmed?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Croatia getting into this now!

 

[girabyt3]

Walker kind of sacrified his "knighthood"

 

[OZZYGT]

Goal Croatia!!!!!!!

 

[jake2013guy]

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

 

[Tired Tyres]

Walker kind of sacrified his "knighthood"

And got back up for a headed clearance.

And there's the equaliser. It's been coming for some time.

 

[Robin]

We are going to regret not getting like 2 extra ones in when we had it easier in the first half...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

That has been coming, England just sitting back and letting them dictate play.

 

[Touring Mars]

Suddenly Croatia are full of beans... England need to step it up big time now.

They're on the ropes now

 

[girabyt3]

almost 2-1 Perisic!!

 

[Touring Mars]

Rashford time...

Sterling was, yet again, full of running but ultimately pretty useless.
