Default 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.

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


Subasic 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.

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

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

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

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