Re: World Cup 2018
Magical result. Could easily have been the banana skin game. Started a bit shakily and grew into it. Two really good goals and a few possibles. Pickford was amazing in the nets and the whole team played professionally and well. Still think Danny Rose, is a better option than Ashley Young on the left and Sterling still isn't quite 100 % on the mark, but it's easy to find faults. I thought the ref was fair, but he missed a few sly shoves on Kane. Harry McGuire...he's the man. What a header. a well deserved win. Well done lads. ![Pray :pray:](./images/smilies/Pray.gif)

That was disturbingly competent.

Right, Croatia it is.

Re: World Cup 2018
V Croatia. I think I'd prefer it to have been Russia, but they blew their chance with two shockingly bad penalties. Coatia will believe they can beat us, and this time we have to go in believing the same. In and win; we're good enough and we have the players. We'll never have a better chance....COME ON.... ![Groovy :oyea:](./images/smilies/oyea.gif)

Re: World Cup 2018
Terrific footballer in fairness and worked really hard yesterday. We'll keep him quiet. If we score our goal and defend well it matters not what he does. I think it'll be a tough scrap.

Oh, I wouldn't bet on him missing twice Monty, but luckily I hope we won't need penalties.Montreal Wanderer wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 1:56 pmNot the best penalty taker however....TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 11:38 amTerrific footballer in fairness and worked really hard yesterday.

Re: World Cup 2018
Neither Croatia nor England could ever have dreamed of facing a weaker opponent in a semi final. It's a dream chance for both countries really.
England the better team so far, Croatia have the better individuals.
Bring it on.

Re: World Cup 2018
Keep girly quiet and use pace to get past a slow Croatian backline, don't give away to many set pieces, has to be the plan.

Re: World Cup 2018
Forget France, beat Croatia. Nothing else matters right now. I'm rather glad France won though because Belgium played really well. Hazard and DeBruyne are a lethal combination.

France were miles better than Belgium and a stronger team all round.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Tue Jul 10, 2018 9:29 pmForget France, beat Croatia. Nothing else matters right now. I'm rather glad France won though because Belgium played really well. Hazard and DeBruyne are a lethal combination.
The tournament is France's to lose. They are good in all departments and in Mbappe have the "X Factor" that can make a difference.
England would (if we get through) give them a game though. Lets get through and see what happens.
Re: World Cup 2018
They weren't miles better. It was a close game decided by a set-piece, again.

Re: World Cup 2018
This. If it were played again I wouldn't bet on the result. Scorewise one Fellaine very closely missed header was a decider.

Come on! If the Belgian work in the first half had resulted in a goal Macaroni would have been crying on his mummies shoulder.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 11:21 amI thought they looked a lot stronger. Especially after the first 20 minutes.

I'm holding onto that thought. A bunch of young honest players performing well above expectations and eclipsing the pitiful efforts of Rooney, Beckham, Hart and the other collection of publicity hungry whoresTANGODANCER wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 6:34 pmAny road up, best of luck to the lads; they've done us proud so far...![]()
