Croatia vs England - (SF) - 19:00 - 11/07/2018

[friedaweed]

said already that Wales weren't good enough to qualify so not there, did you miss that??
Welsh fans can handle it see, there's a difference

 

[JimW]

Yu haven't beaten anyone you wouldn't be expected to, and lost to anyone that gave you a game!

This is ABE at its most desperate, beat what was in front of us and went out in extra time in the semi final you prat.

 

[ddraig]

No for being the prize dick of the torno

for not supporting englund?

 

[planetgeli]

Tournament knockout football, what a load of rubbish eh? Maybe you should stop watching.

 

[friedaweed]

for not supporting englund?

See above

 

[Cid]

Welsh fans can handle it see, there's a difference

Well that's lucky.

 

[8ball]

why did you mention zinc supplements?

I don't need any. Because of the beef. Which you referred to first.

Jeez, just chill out.

 

[twentythreedom]

Thought Croatia's subs utterly changed the game. England got absolutely no change out of that midfield from 45 onwards. They huffed and they puffed but were beaten by a clearly superior and more skilled side.

Congrats to England for getting so far, for not making penises of themselves fanwise and for being a generally likeable team. Commiserations to all the English Urbz, who must be feeling absolutely gutted now.

Please take your eminently sensible words to the ABE thread No, really

The reason they didn't make dicks of themselves fan wise, is because all the trouble makers stayed at home cos they were shit scared to go after the beating they took at the Euros. I read this week that the Russians in Marseilles were actually Russian army, employed to cause trouble with the sole intention of scaring the shit out of england fans and ensuring they stayed at home. Thats bloody good thinking.

How orange is Roy Keane?

 

[friedaweed]

Well that's lucky.

Let's cheer Taffy up...

 

[brixtonblade]

Just put this in context for a moment.

England, ranked 13th in the world, beat 4 teams, ranked 55, 21st (just), 16th (on pens) and 24th.

You lost to teams ranked 3 and 20th.

Hardly set the fucking world alight did you?

Don't be a twat, they did well and came up a bit short... Nothing to be sour about

Was fun while it lasted and we finally stopped being awful to watch

Harsh but true

 

[1927]

Rubbish. You can only beat what's in front of you.

And you couldn't beat anything decent. QED.

 

[twentythreedom]

I can't see who this is directed at, but I can guess, being on mutual ignore, so can't comment further.

DON'T TELL HIM, PIKE!

 

[twistedAM]

Maybe Kane off instead of Sterling? Thought Raheem created a lot of openings whereas Kane did little.

Raheem was class. All those people calling for Rashford to take his place were basically calling for a headless chicken.

 

[Spymaster]

Croatia deserved to win that game.

Let's hope our fans don't detract from an amazing ride.

 

[TruXta]

I'm not English.

 

[1927]

Rubbish. You can only beat what's in front of you.

You didn't beat a single team ranked higher the you, or indeed 7 places below you!

 

[ddraig]

englund seemed much better and together and have clearly played better than for quite a while
can't deny that 1927!

 

[Sasaferrato]

Allez les blues!

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Harsh but true

This. True what he's saying but probably could have waited to say it.

 

[TruXta]

Raheem was class. All those people calling for Rashford to take his place were basically calling for a headless chicken.

Harsh. As I said, if Gareth really managed on merit he'd have taken Kane off.

 

[cupid_stunt]

DON'T TELL HIM, PIKE!

So, not who I suspected.

 

[ddraig]

I don't need any. Because of the beef. Which you referred to first.

Jeez, just chill out.

Are you saying I need zinc supplements?
I responded to your barbed and presumtious comment and wouldn't have needed to if you hadn't made it

 

[xenon]

Out but not down.

 

[TruXta]

You didn't beat a single team ranked higher the you, or indeed 7 places below you!

I'm still not English, and I certainly don't think that FIFA rankings are gospel.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Croatia deserved to win that game.

Let's hope our fans don't detract from an amazing ride.

Absolutely this. Time to be grown ups/good sports. It would be nice if this thread didn't descend into a punch up too.

Southgate did a good job of keeping faithful to his squad... Respect that.


Apart from when Heskey kept getting picked! Faith has its down sides
