Semi Final: Croatia vs England - Wednesday 7PM (Continued)

[AFCB_Mark]

I'm nervous. This is great and amazing, also horrible and tense. Argh!

 

[Liam_SWFC]

My heart can't take pens, already nervous, biggest England game of my life. Same team that's played against Sweden, full of confidence, they've got injury issues and should be a bit leggy after the hour mark. We can do this!!

 

[Bilo]

Good luck friends can't imagine this will be as pleasant of a ride for you as the quarter finals.

 

[Abertawe]

I don't like the line up & system against their midfield. Sterling, Alli, lingard, young & trips are gonna have to put a huge shift in to get and keep em on the front foot.

Exactly the same here

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Fitter and quicker than these, get to half time level or better and it's ours.

 

[Muller]

Very confident. 3-1 England

 

[PaulHaddock]

2-1 to Croatia.

 

[JonBCFC]

2-1 to Croatia.

That’s the spirit!

 

[Muller]

Have a bit of that!!!

 

[JJ1532]

Boom, what a free kick that was. Stunning.

 

[Leo]

Why the fuck not!

 

[JJ1532]

Jeez, even Kane missing sitters. How has the lino given offside though? Kane is miles onside, should be a corner.

He just gave the goal kick. But imagine the national explosion if it was Sterling missing those... Kane should have squared it.

Just as bad if that's his decision. How on earth Kane is supposed to have put that out himself I don't know.

You're right though, a player of Kane's quality and form should be burying that, maybe the rebound as well.

 

[GTFCfish]

A nice thought from my missus, she said Harry Maguires Mum must have stitches for life with his fucking shoulders.

 

[Bilo]

You absolutely should be 2-0 up. Croatia have been completely nullified. Impressed by your midfield playing out of the pressure.

 

[Predator373]

Brilliant half from England only disappointing thing is it should be 2 or 3-0. Hope we don’t pay for those misses.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Should be 2 up, but couldn't have really asked for more in the first half of a World Cup semi final. Make them chase us and tire them out second half.

 

[JJ1532]

Hard to believe we've had more than enough chances to be 2 or 3 up. Croatia have gotten more into the game as things have gone on, got a bit too much space in midfield and out wide for my liking. But they won't be able to maintain this high tempo pressing game, not given the 2 extra time periods they've played in the last week. They'll tire after an hour and we can pick them off on the counter.

 

[Muller]

Kane has been pretty poor tbh.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

The fifteen after the break are key, keep it at 1-0 and we are going to have a field day on the counter attack.

 

[Super_horns]

So far so good !

Could be 2/3 up but Croatia have improved a bit .

 

[Jockney]

Best England’s performance (so far) in my lifetime. So fuckin proud (so far)

[G.B]

Ashley Young has been poor and looked a step behind. Only one that's worried me so far.

 

[Predator373]

Tbh Kane’s Miss then rebound Miss were awful as was lingards chance, awful finishing from them chances but I hope we can get the 2nd goal to kill the game we’ve looked good.

 

[Predator373]

Ashley Young has been poor and looked a step behind. Only one that's worried me so far.

Yeah rebic was ripping him to pieces at times.

 

[Pagnell]

He just gave the goal kick. But imagine the national explosion if it was Sterling missing those... Kane should have squared it.

How utterly fucking predictable.
