Stag. Any money.
 
We've looked steady and controlled through most of the tournament, if we can keep that up and somehow restrict the Croatian midfield, we should do them comfortably.

More likely is that it's a horrible, tense game with several agonising close chances before a single goal decides it.

Please not penalties.
 
Managed to be on a flight home between 7 and 8 tonight, top timing. :facepalm:

Unless easyJet screw up and add their usual two hour delay, in which case it will be interesting to see how the airport wifi copes with a thousand people trying to stream the game on their phones...
 
Getting in the mood by attending my children's sports day :hmm:

Kids on the field just broke out into a spontaneous chorus of "it's coming home" :D

What will everyone be eating and drinking later? Ciders and a kebab for me I think.

Lager and pizzas for us. Although maybe should go fish and chips for full patriotism?

Anyone else nervous already?

YES :mad: Last night I dreamt that we were really shit and lost 2-1 :oops: Hope I haven't suddenly developed precognition.
 
On paper Croatia are a great team (arguably the best midfield in the tournament) but in reality they've really had to labour to get to the semis. They've done two lots of extra time and looked knackered at the end of the Russia game - on several occasions I saw Modric just ambling around not doing a lot.

England though had it pretty easy in our quarter final and really didn't have to over exert themselves in the last quarter of the game.

Will be really disappointed if we don't win this game and win it reasonably comfortably (by that I mean not as close as the other semi where both teams were pretty evenly matched)

England 3 - 1 Croatia
