Well if they make a goal and then block like yesterday, they may win again. Though it was not exactly nice or interesting, how they destroyed the playing fun.. almost like Germany played in the 1980ies. :O:

I should imagine France are the tournament favourites now and rightly so :yep:

Would prefer a Croatia win tbh as it would be a first for them, (Considering France won 20 years back)

England - Croatia was one of the better games, and the english team was very good and still very young, i think they are a good bet for winning the next world championship.

England leading after 5 minutes in the game and held it for a long time, maybe they became too content, but it was only 1:1 after 90 minutes, before the extra time started. Then Croatia made the 2:1 just 5 minutes before the end of extra time.. could as well have been England, both never gave up.
Sorry for England now, but then this is clearly a team with a future.


OT Q.: is the plural of typo "typos", or "typoes"? :hmmm:

Walking home last night pass the pubs told me all i needed to know. Quite and lots of gutted fans. The upside for me is i will no longer hear that bloody cheap nasty boring song for four years.

:haha:

I agree in part I think the game could of gone either way at one point England looking very strong for the first 3rd of the match and Croatias defense appeared weak but they hung in doggedly and England's normally strong defense started looking flustered. I thought some of Englands misjudgements and miscommunications later on in the game were so bad it was both comical and painful to watch

My man of the match was Trippier not just for his world class free kick but his game in general

Well done to Croatia to me they looked the better team overall and England would of learned a lot from it, obviously gutted maybe next time


Oh and it Typos @ CATFISH

With all my respect and love to France - I'd prefer a Croatia too because it would mean that our team lost only to champions struggling neck-and-neck ;-)

What stopped you popping into one of the pubs and announcing the fact?

Pretty much agree....the young lions did their country proud and I suspect a positive future lies ahead.

Man of the squad for me was Trippier and the less I say about Stirling the better.

Aye 'Typos' it is.

Errr..Why?

They all knew the score.

You'd have looked like that Benny Hill sketch running away from a group of irate fans :haha:

I think they were way to tanked up on booze to give chase. Probably tanked up celebrating the first goal, tanked up with worry on the second and finally tanked up drowning their sorrows after the third goal that sealed England's fate.

Hardly.....never seen a drunken football fan in my life :)

Another lie detector broken by a whopper. :haha:
