The atmosphere there is unbelievable, think it’d be better for us to play Croatia cos that home support must get to the players

I knew it would go to pens.

Hope we face Croatia for some reason I have a feeling a game between Russia and England would not be in our interests

Will get my tin foil hat

I'm sure how this is going to go, Croatia's goalie doesn't look right to me. Was suprised to see him back when extra time started. Croatia do have the better players though.

WhiteHartLane · 07/07/2018 21:41

Should read NOT sure not sure

CatchingBabies · 07/07/2018 21:41

I’m hoping we play Croatia also, I think playing the home team is quite difficult.

WhiteHartLane · 07/07/2018 21:44

Poor 1st effort

Missbrick1 · 07/07/2018 21:46

Umm who thinks Russia may win the whole thing?

Missbrick1 · 07/07/2018 21:47

or maybe not?

SouthWestmom · 07/07/2018 21:47

Eek this is nail biting. Hope Russia won, I've got a bet on it😂

SouthWestmom · 07/07/2018 21:48

Yeah, think Croatia have it now

Missbrick1 · 07/07/2018 21:49

Vidas hair is dreadful

SouthWestmom · 07/07/2018 21:50

He's cute though. He was very sweet to the injured one earlier.

Missbrick1 · 07/07/2018 21:51

i think Croatia is better for us.

Missbrick1 · 07/07/2018 21:51

I like that kind of thing as the mother of several sons !

Subasvic's leg appears remarkably well recovered...

Newspeak · 07/07/2018 21:53

If we play well we can beat Croatia. It's all in their hands (or feet) now!

WhiteHartLane · 07/07/2018 21:53

Shame for Russia after their fight back at the end. They've got further than anyone predicited though so deserve praise for that.

user764329056 · 07/07/2018 21:53

Croatia are definitely beatable if England are at their best

WhiteHartLane · 07/07/2018 21:55

I agree, hope they can put the game to bed early like they did today. Please no penalties.

Missbrick1 · 07/07/2018 21:56

Im super excited & actually don’t mind the outcome just as long as we try which for a long time I never felt we did.

Have you guys seen the 6,7 thing on Twitter?

+++++++

World Cup Quarter Finals

France: 6 letters
Uruguay: 7 letters

Brazil: 6 letters
Belgium: 7 letters

Sweden: 6 letters
England: 7 letters

Russia: 6 letters
Croatia: 7 letters

Games to be played on 6 & 7 July

6+7 =13
13 letters in

It’s coming home
++++++++++

Plus it's now England v Croatia, France and Belgium. Both are still 6,7 letters.

Anyone for an England v Belgium final? England to win of course

Nicely predicted @TaliZorahVasNormandy!

Dinner overran so I only saw tidbits of that game. Looking forward to catching the highlights!

Tuttytoffee · 07/07/2018 21:59

I said on the 1st thread that I thought Pickford would have a great world cup. The boy hasn't disappointed!. Absolutely loving this young vibrant England team. They are oozing confidence and just enjoying it. I have a very good feeling it will be coming home....... Bring on Croatia!
