Russia vs Croatia (QF) - 19:00 - 07/07/2018

no they dont. coverage is usually shared between them

Yes it's shared but they take turns in picking first each round. Or at least that's how it used to work

Would you like to bet real money with me?

i know that. i'm referring to the semi and finals. I'm pretty sure they both show the game and BBC usually trounces ITV coverage

I thought it was just the final that is shared - unless they have an agreement they can both show the same semi final if England are in it?

When will England play in the World Cup semi-final?

A good number of cards would be a help

I thought a commentator said yellows are all wiped after the quarter finals?

After suspensions have been applied

Ah I see... it didn't feel like the commentator got that tho! Maybe he just didn't communicate it well (unheard of I know)

 

[The Octagon]

England hat off, this is a shit game right?

 

[planetgeli]

How did that not go in?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

So close!!

 

[Badgers]

Game (and it seems skills) has dropped off a bit Croatia a bit unlucky with the post there but really should have scored it.

Fucking hell.

 

[imposs1904]

What sort of Croatian name is Lovren?

It's to stop players missing the final cos they got a yellow in the semi. Nice idea tbh.

 

[Steel Icarus]

What sort of Croatian name is Lovren?

What sort of English name is Emlyn Hughes?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Ref was perfectly placed to fire that one home.

His Dad was a Welsh rugby player doing missionary work in England.

I don't want extra time and penalties. Am tired, hit and grumpy

Croatia will score.

Croatia will score.

Will it be Modric?

Tis an interconnected world. So you get Ozils in Germany, Allis in England, Shaquiris in Switzerland and of course scoring the opening goal of the 1986 final an Argentinian named Brown.

 

[Hollis]

Croatia will kick themselves if they don't win this. Note in the half-time pundit bunfight about goalkeeper positioning, old Peter Shilton has sided with Mr Neville on twitter.

 

[zora]

I keep hearing "it's coming home" from the crowd, but it might as easily be Cro-a-tia or Rus-si-a or just my ears ringing!

Don't forget Coates who was on the Uruguayan bench. I'm still curious, though. I'm used to all their players usually ending in C.

 

[planetgeli]

Will it be Modric?

He’s playing is he?

 

[Badgers]

Got myself some french bread with cheese and Marmite #excitingtimes

Did Filipe Luis make this poster?

 

[Spymaster]

Will it be Modric?

We'll have to wait and see ...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I'm officially NOT SCARED of either of these.
