2018 FIFA World Cup Finals

[Tired Tyres]

Amateur time.

Croatia should be winning by now. England are making a lot of mistakes.

 

[OZZYGT]

Croatia is playing the better football. Though we all know that playing better is not always a common denominator among winners.

*Greece like this*

Impressive how Croatia had two 120min matches before this and didn't make a substitution yet.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Bloody hard work being an England fan.

 

[Touring Mars]

Some tough questions must be asked now... like can I make it to the off license and back before extra time starts...

 

[jake2013guy]

Bloody hard work being an England fan.

Honestly. 9 months of avoiding Premier League relegation through a Gabbiadini goal. Now this. Why can't we have been terrible and gone out of the group stages...

I can't wait for the ITV commentators and pundits to claim England, having won a penalty shootout already, will have the upper hand over Croatia, who have won 2 penalty shootouts.

Their recovery powers appear to be at Tour de France level

Success takes sacrifice

Success takes sacrifice

Of course. Hopefully a boring season for Southampton next year.

 

[OZZYGT]

England seems a little more confortable suddenly. That or Croatia is finally running on empty

EDIT: Modric is a phenomenal player.

 

[Dennisch]

What's It's coming home in Croatian?

But in all seriousness, how has the game been so far? Did I miss a spectacle?

 

[Tired Tyres]

It looks like they are pushing the pace again. They didn't do that for the entire second half.

 

[MoLiEG]

Croatia is running out of gas. England need to finish this ASAP.

 

[jake2013guy]

Give that man a knighthood.

It's been a very good game - England dominated the first half but Croatia have been dominant in the second half .England scored early but could have had 3 or 4 in the first half, while Croatia made their pressure count and could have won it in the 2nd half. There's been a number of chances for both sides, but now it looks like it is headed to penalties.

The game has been played in an excellent spirit and it is still on a knife edge.

Kane doesn't look right, had a poor game and is always deep and not upfront.

Anyone notice anything wrong with him?

Yeh, he's been off colour tonight - do we need to go to VAR(dy)?

One piece of good news - my English pal Malcolm has been on the phone to Guinness as his blood pressure has just set a new World Record.

Sur Jordan Pickford

Also, Even Modric is running out of gas!! England saved from their bad playing!! It's time England!!

Maybe it's Vardy time?

 

[OZZYGT]

Although I feel Croatia should go through based on their game, I gotta give it to England for having a GREAT defense. It's anyone's game at this point. A beautiful match overall.


EDIT: Aaaaaand I jinxed them. Well deserved Croatia!!!

 

[Robin]

It's not coming home is it...

 

[Milouse]

Crap

 

[zzz_pt]

They deserved it tbh.

 

[jake2013guy]

Now. It. Has. To. Be. Done. Right now.

 

[Dennisch]

Oeh.

Football isn't going home.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

They do deserve it, 10 minutes left though....

 

[MoLiEG]

Put Vardy in there, damn it!
