FIFA World Cup 2018 - Semi-finals [10/11 July] **spoilers**

[Kerplunk]

So... are England coming home then?

 

[RobotXander]

I don't think Croatia expected to win!

 

[Shocky-FM]

The amount of cheering here in Cardiff when Croatia scored was a little embarrassing.

Oh well, it's only a game.

People are discounting Croatia. They were a little nervous at the beginning but controlled from the second half on. Modric and Rakatic will boss the midfield of France. If they can nullify Mbappe you never know.

They were lucky with Denmark, they were lucky with Russia, they were lucky that the clear foul in attack wasn't seen and awarded.
Croatia don't deserve to be where they are.

Italia 90 and Euro 96, losing both semi's to Germany on penalties were gutting ways to go out as we truly were on par with them and could have won

Getting battered by a better side in extra time, a much easier pill to take and if we hadn't gone to sleep for the 2nd goal and somehow scraped through on pens, then France would have beaten us if we played like that anyway, the reality is we simply weren't good enough this time, Italia 90 & Euro 96 we actually were good enough

The difference with those two tournaments were who was left to play in the final were very, very beatable. Had we beaten W.Germany in either semi we would have won the competition imo.

At least we didn’t have to sit through another penalty shootout.

 

[McBain]

So... are England coming home then?

Nope, 3rd place playoff

What a complete waste of time.

 

[Sasahara]

Delli, lingard, very wasteful with chances

True, but as our main Striker(Sterling) (Harry oddly playing in the central midfield most of the time) he wasn't in the box much, so didn't have a good target man.

As I already said some like Andy Carroll may have made the difference, but I am a bit biased.

fact is, we did better than any of the other home countries could ever do. so let them be bitter and twisted. we march on.

 

[Converge]

France will own Croatia. One more day of rest and no extra time.

 

[Merlin5]

Euro 2020 then.

 

[Tombstone]

It is pretty amazing that a country as small as Croatia (4m people, half the size of London alone) has made it to the world cup final

 

[4K8KW10]

France will own Croatia. One more day of rest and no extra time.

Amen

 

[Psycho Ned]

Semis and Final are Wembley couple of home games easy peasy
