I know what Nicky means although its not players egos. The media always inflate England's chances well before its justified and that "infects" the general public and it does become quite unbearable. However, in this case, given that England have reached the semis the enthusiasm and excitement is actually justified, they are 90 mins away from a potential final.

:laugh: it will be a 5-0 victory for England in the final i think, and history has been made world champions for the first time in 52 years

Exactly. We have done well to get this far. Why shouldn't ww celebrate? :dance:

we can celebrate the day after the world cup, cause england is no doubtly going to have welcome back party with or without the trophy :hee:

Nicky, just stop. The flip flopping is ridiculous.

I think this game will go to penalties.

:laugh: :laugh:

yes i know, but i never should've been nasty to England



so yeah i wish you and others best of luck

England have more attacking threat then Croatia and better defenders

I thought Sweden would be their hardest game,but it ended up England were the threat to them .......Dont fancy the Croatia team, its going to be hard, but if we played like we've played all tournament we should beat them

Have a feeling the ball will finally go in for Sterling in this game. He’s been great but just hasn’t had the luck in terms of finishing.

The stage is set for him now though and he’s the only one of the Front Four not to bag yet.

I will be more than shocked if we beat Croatia 5-0.

same for me but i was just trying to be positive for all the england fans on here

I'd be really happy for him if he finally scored. Most people only talk about his poor finishing and forget how important his movement is for the team.

I'm on England's side this time, sorry neighbours.

He was great against Sweden in general but he looked a bit error-prone for the last month or two of the PL season so I'm starting to worry about his goalscoring abilities. Sure he'll rediscover them someday, just not sure it'll be in this tournament.

Thankfully we have Welbeck ready to pounce

unfortunately he isn't a defender, otherwise you had the pun, he is a well back get it :laugh:

but with my lyrics

England got the power

with panama, Tunisia, Colombia they had to dance

they never gave sweden a chance

they got the power

you'll never walk alone

because baby it's coming home

we need SuRie with Storm at england's victory ceremony :cheer: :cheer:

Im never into football but i always feel invested in the world cup, its been amazing so far and i do now feel that England stand a chance

The last time England made the semi final was when I was just 8 days old. Now 28 years later I think it is time for england to win the semi final. I have been impressed by the way they have played and its been an interesting world cup in the way it has shaped out with huge teams like Spain Brazil Germany and Portugal falling at earlier stages.

I think more than ever England have the chance. I honestly dont expect them to make a final again in my lifetime. Yes it has been to the way they have played, team strategy and some good decisions from Southgate but I do feel the big teams falling at earlier hurdles has contributed to England getting so far.

So now they really have to embrace their chance and get to that final

I for one am nervous and I cant even imagine how the players must feel

I do think it will go to penalities and be on the edge of your seat tv

Cant wait!

yes all the favourites out, so now england is the only title contender remaining :smug:

Although skill is needed I do think a lot of it is down to luck , so hopefully England will be lucky this time.

France

Belgium


what on earth are you on about?

both no match for the world class english team :smug:

that is not what you said though

You are supporting Croatia you said so why are you pretending to like England today?

because i know it's england's destiny that they are already in the final, and doesn't matter against france or Belgium, england is going to win


i feel sad for Croatia, but i'm happy they got this far like in 1998 :love:

You have changed your mind so many times that i do not think even you know what you think anymore.
