Czech v Croatia 18.6.21

[Wilf]

You can spell it chequerboard.

Is that your first draught?

 

[Rebelda]

Something something cheque's in the post something.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"That's high and wide, but the intent was there..."

Well, sure, Dion, most of us can spam the shoot button and miss...

Is that your first draught?

Tis all a Chequer-board of Nights and Days
Where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays:
Hither and thither moves, and mates, and slays,
And one by one back in the Closet lays.

 

[JimW]

Niggly match and think the Croatians are slightly worse, so am now pro-Czech on balance.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bit weird to be watching Croatia vs Czech Republic and hear "LEAVE IT!", "ok, ok, I leave it"

 

[Rebelda]

Bit weird to be watching Croatia vs Czech Republic and hear "LEAVE IT!", "ok, ok, I leave it"

I wondered if I was hearing that right! Glad it wasn't just me.

Also, Czechs not needing the win suits England

 

[Numbers]

Best thread of the tournie yet.

Dion's doing his best, but one more chance for both sides? Is there half an hour left?

 

[JimW]

Czechs not surprisingly look to be settling for draw
