2018 FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA 14th June - 15th July

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Both these semi-finals are 50:50 I think, defo no clear favourites.

If there’s an edge, I’d say France as Lukaku and Hazard often go missing in big games, and maybe England as they seem more rounded. Plus, if both teams play to their max abilities, you’d probably say England has more talent.

Only 25% of teams who win a penalty shoot out win the next game was the BBC stat....Croatia won two in a row so does that mean a 6.25% chance of beating England?...

Really? Hazard is probably the player of the tournament?

A lot of that may be true and he may not be being used as he is at Man City but that shouldn’t stop the fact that he just keeps giving the ball away or can’t beat any defender no matter how poor they are. He’s had a poor World Cup unfortunately.
For Man City he can be unplayable at times but for England he has been poor with his all round game. He’s still the best option we have though and I hope he can rediscover the form he showed last season for MAn city against Croatia.

100% disagree he's had a poor World Cup, in fact quite the opposite, that's the absolute point of the video, what he does for the team is very good. Again the video shows he's playing a completely different role than he does for City, yet you are still expecting the "form" he shows for City??!!? How does that work?

He's missed some sitters. But I remember Dele missing even more two seasons ago, proper open goal sitters, but he got 38 games to put in a hatful and ended the season with 18 league goals. Just think people are screaming at the TV when he misses and that then sticks in their mind, forgetting the the opportunity was probably created in the first instance by him.
 
I hope Sterling strikes some form soon: I would even put with the fact that he has a blinder against Croatia and the press conveniently forget he has had a forgetful WC to date

I feel I should counter this by saying that having been there, Croatia is an absolutely gorgeous country, steeped in beauty with many excellent wines, visually stunning vistas with welcoming, kind and decent people.

But on the other side of things, Kane is going to destroy you like a wrecking ball, you don't want to even imagine the husk of a team that will crawl off the pitch after he's laid seige to you, and whilst they leave emptied of all hope Dele will lick the tears of regret off Luka Modric's rat face like a life giving elixir....

Other than that, may the best team win.

How am I doing at sportsmanship???

His moment of failure is epitomised by the long ball from Henderson where he ignored two unmarked strikers and ran round in a circle until he blew the chance.
That video is 50% bullshit because whilst he does do a lot of good his decision making under pressure is abysmal
