FIFA World Cup 2018 - Quarter-finals [6/7 July] **spoilers**

[McBain]

Up the Ruskies!

 

[Bonjour]

Would Steven Segal and Gérard Depardieu be eligible to play for Russia?

 

[Mr Jack]

Well.

This got exciting.

 

[Felon]

Can they sub the Croatian goalie in the penalties, or are they all out of subs?

 

[Minusorange]

Can we trade May for the Croatian Prime Minister?

President

 

[drunkenmaster]

I think Russia are more dangerous to us than Croatia tbh. Home factor and all that.

Don't forget that if Croatia knocked out Russia, we'd get a fair amount of home support against Croatia , so the difference is even bigger. Against Russia the whole country will be against us, against Croatia the whole country will be against Croatia. We might have even kept some support for the final if we beat Croatia as well.

 

[Minusorange]

Can they sub the Croatian goalie in the penalties, or are they all out of subs?

All out

 

[Rikk82]

Penalties inc!
Love it

 

[Merlin5]

If Russia win this, then I think they've won the world cup. Why else would the lowest ranked side get this far, it's like they're meant to win it.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

How much did he get for the handball?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well, perfect for England. They’ll be exhausted.

 

[Danny75]

Yes but why does adrenaline = taking your shirt off.

I understand running, I understand jumping and screaming and fist pumping because adrenaline gives you a feeling of energy and strength, but how does that equate to taking your shirt off?

Ok here's a crack at this - emotions are so powerful in that moment they feel like they can't be contained in your body yeah? It wants to be let free, unconstrained. Origin area is chest/stomach. So they subconsciously take their shirt off even though it's illogical.

 

[McBain]

Look at how knackered everyone else, bodes well for England.

 

[Felon]

Whichever team wins - I can only see all of this as a big advantage to England, either team is going to be wrecked after this,

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

Players dropping all over the pitch.

 

[el_dazza]

Both got through on penalties last round..

 

[robfosters]

Brilliant for us. They’re physically knackered and you have to think of the mental aspect too. Shoot outs are nerve racking trauma!

 

[Kenai]

If Russia win this, then I think they've won the world cup. Why else would the lowest ranked side get this far, it's like they're meant to win it.

Bear in mind that a good part of them sliding down the rankings was due to not playing any competitive games as they were pre qualified

 

[RavenXXX2]

Heart says Russia, head says Croatia.

 

[MooMoo444]

Neither of these two seem good on tonight’s game, we can take em.

Hope Russia win though just because they are the hosts
