Croatia vs England Semi Final Match Thread
 

Our beautiful homeland,
O so fearless and gracious.
Our fathers' ancient glory,
May you be happy forever.
Dear, you are our only glory,
Dear, you are our only one,
Dear, we love your plains,
Dear, we love your mountains.

english translation of the croatian anthem

Give Us Everything You Got Croatia :dance: and make more history :love:


i thought i make this one cause england plays against my fave

God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen

Just to balance the thread.....and you know the words for when we get to the final after beating Croatia :hehe:

oh i will definitely support Croatia with everything i got


:cheer:


GO Hrvatska Croatia, #HistoryInTheMaking

That's good to hear Nicky, as a lot of here will do with England. Should be a good game

I will be supporting England to the very last Annie,it's nice to see so many united and jubilant when we win,lets enjoy it while we can.:wavey:

i'm hoping Brozovic is in the starting 11 now, we need that more control in the midfield from the first minute


Subasic :amazed: i was surprised he did so well (despite that injury earlier against Russia) in the penalty shootout

he never really does penalty shootouts with his club AS Monaco tbh


but yeah i think Vida, Lovren, Strinic have the capable defence weapons to block Kane and Sterling

They need to have the speed to block them, sterling has his major faults but his speed is impressive, lingard too. Both teams have talent, it will all come down to who plays best on the day and scores the most goals.

#itscominghome

Rakitic both against denmark and Russia the decisive penalty :clap1: that is impressive

Lovely sentiment in that anthem.
With a bit of luck they can go home and embrace their beautiful mountains and plains after Wednesdays match.:cheer2:

:oh:

england losing wednesday's match would be good to tone down those ego's :joker:


no ego's at all in croatia's team, neither is there arrogance from their fans :hee:

:fan: oh well Southgate can have that trophy cabinet for his personal trophies of manager of the year

Whatever can be said about the England team. One has to admire Southgate and what he has achieved. He was considered a poor choice of England manager and has ended up being the best for decades. It's not only the results, its the completely professional way he has approached the job

Nicky put World Cup Semi Final in the title otherwise it just looks like another game (and the date)

attention to detail


look at when a player is subbed, he is congratulated first by the manager and then he goes down the coaching line in order before he sits down

when Lukaku was subbed Martinez had force him to briefly shake his hand before he sloped off and sat down

how do you know this?

changed it now

that england players have ego's i know :)

which ones as i have seen zero evidence of this?

this was so cool, Corluka's girl Franka did this during her concert when Croatia got through to the semi's :love:

Harry Kane i think

Come on England :cheer:

I don't think i will watch the game. Everytime i don't watch we win :joker:

as i though you just made it up for attention

:facepalm:

I agree Annie and I do think a lot of it is down to pure luck.
