Racatic is going to be flattened under that scrum.

PRAISE BE TO HIM

Russia can be proud of their effort, they gave so much and brought a lot of drama and excitement to this tournament. Well done Croatia, not a great performance, but can't begrudge them their win at all.

 

[Thin Lilywhite Duke]

Right. England - Croatia it is.

And they're knackered.

I can see the plus side here.

 

[Dubaijim]

Relief. Thank fuck our boys are not facing any Russian shithousery outside of their control

Putin declared him a nationalized Russian and he had not played a competitive game for Brazil

He played a friendly, ergo won a cap

It just reeks of more Putin strong arming. Just glad their charade is fucking over, they'll drift back to obscurity again

 

[Hamilton]

God, I hate Fox Sports commentators

"They have captured the hearts and minds of this entire country"

Yes you fucking moron, they're the Russian national team. That's kind of a given when the tournament is in Russia.

 

[Freudlyuchenko]

This was inevitable, the Russians call a 37 year old out of retirement but don't call up Super Pav,

Fear neither of these teams
But then again Southgate didn’t pick me ...

Spot on.

Croatia have a strong midfield but they've needed pens against both Denmark & Russia to get there.

A class act but beatable.

 

[ArtyB]

What a scrappy fucking shoot out.

 

[superstaryid]

Glad them cunts are out like a team of Pavlyuchenkos can suddenly go toe to toe with Optimus prime ! Something not right about the cunts

 

[Ginolaflair]

I doff my cap to the Russians for a hell of a tournament.

Only competitive caps count. Saman Ghoddos has played friendlies for Sweden, but since he never got a competitive cap he could switch to Iran in time for the world cup.

Diego Costa was the same. Friendlies for Brazil but decided to represent Spain competitively

More of this on Wednesday please...

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

Harry Kane is going to tear Lovren a new arsehole just like he did at Wembley.

Relieved we don't play Russia just to avoid the embarrassing Headlines in the sun and The Mail.

Rakitic

Eh, Croatia hasn't been exactly convincing either.

True but there are very good names: Modric, Rakitic, Mandzukic ecc.
In any case, I think England has a lot of quality. You see the mold of the Spurs game and Manchester City.
And Kane.
Kane in CL against Juventus impressed me. It is a snake that wanders about the attack, always ready to hit. Only Mbappé impressed me more with the speed of a centimeter.

If you think about it, every possible permutation of the final will be one heck of a watch.

Russia has exploited the 100% field factor.
