England v Croatia

DustyBawls · Post by **DustyBawls** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 2:56 pm

Forget France, we're playing Croatia. We could beat France in a one-off game, but tonight is going to be a tough game, first.

This may be of interest to someone - very last second though.....

A friend of mine has 2 tickets in a corporate box for England v Croatia game. He didn't realise when he bid for them months ago that England would be in this game and worse was he was getting married today. If anyone is interested he is looking for someone to take his place.

It's at Todmorden registry office at 5.00 pm. The bride’s name is Helen- she's 5'5" about 8st 7 lb; quite pretty, has her own income and is a really good cook

Pickford is a good keeper but is the chaviest looking rat I've ever seen. That vile sneering face, the hair, the tats. It's just screams chav vermin. Can't think of anyone chavier tbh.

I am absolutely, ridiculously and overwhelmingly pumped for this. I finished all the garden work a couple of hours back and banged on a playlist of uplifting motivational music whilst having a couple of beers and washing the dishes. Nervous, can't wait for this, perhaps a once in a lifetime experience, utterly sold and caught up in the fervour, what a wonderful feeling to be a part of. Whatever happens, proud of England, probably the best I've felt since Owen in 98'. Come on England.

Feel sick! Years of World Cup heartache! It’s got to change sometime, hasn’t it? Come on England!!

Roy Keane looks like the love child of Phil Brown and David Dickinson.

Haven’t felt like this watching England for many many years.

Come on!!!!!

Kane has the finger on Lovren so 2-0 England.
Harry might have 6 but 3 were pens, 1 was a fluke, 1 I could have scored and one was a great header. Tonight he’s on fire and Sterling will have the game of his life which will make him as an international player.

Pickfords first kick to touch...

(I’ve criticised him every game, not going to jinx it now am I...)

Come on Tripps

TRIPPS!!!

Know he's not with us anymore, but that gave me those all-over goose bumps!!

TRIPPS!!

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:06 pm

Tripps is nailed on for team of the tournament and do we have a sell on clause?

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:07 pm

Fantastic goalkeeping and a beauty from tripps

Decades · Post by **Decades** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:07 pm

Well done Tripps!

Was good enough for England when he was with us

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:09 pm

Another Sean Dyche success story.

Ho ho. Get in Tripps

Yeah if Walker is playing inside like he is now, I think it actually suits Walker despite him probably being the best right back in the World.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:27 pm

They're due a booking.

Brilliant tackle Ashley Young

Two great chances come and gone.

Is kane fit ? Could regret these missed chances

So pleased for Tripps. Not just the goal but his all round play has been fantastic so far.

Sterling - driving Vida loca tonight.

Consistently been one of the best players of the tournament.

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:48 pm

Pleased with that sloppiness at the end of the half. Gives Southgate something to lay into them over.
Only concerns: it’s a game of two halves and Modric hasn’t turned up yet.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:49 pm

Pretty happy with how we've managed the game so far. Very pleased for Tripps.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:51 pm

Encouraging 45 just a shame we didn't get the killer second,pleasing that after the early goal England didn't sit off but carried on playing.
Great strike from Tripps

for him.

Am I seeing this right... Croatia 14/1 to win on SkyBet?

summitclaret · Post by **summitclaret** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 7:59 pm

Henderson is surperb to tonight.

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:01 pm

So far so good but midfield - particularly Dele Alli -need to stop giving the ball away on a 5-10 yard pass.

Croatia have had plenty of the ball in midfield so no complacency.

Probably, they haven't looked like getting back into the game.

17/1 on Betfair.

Books Rebic at last. Could have had 3 by now.

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:12 pm

This ref is a law to himself. A series of shocking decisions from not giving a foul on Kane to booking Walker after he had clearly been fouled.

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:16 pm

Walker only had himself to blame for his booking.

Millertime v1.7 · Post by **Millertime v1.7** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:17 pm

On reflection, Kyle Walker is quite possibly one of the UGLIEST men I've seen in my entire life.

Correct but if he’d given him his free he wouldn’t have needed to hold the ball.
