Penelope Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I spent the game surrounded by thousands of Croatians in the fan zone in Split. Boy did they celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 There seems to be a suggestion going round that both teams today will be fielding reserves because neither team (or anyone else frankly) give a toss about 3rd/4th place play off...…….. or is that just an advance excuse for England losing?

Wish i'd laid money on france, i picked them before it even began! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 France were the standout team with some world class players - Mbappe being the best. We did well to end up 4th out of 32, considering we were lumbered with Ali, Henderson, Lingard, Dier and Sterling. Why we didn't play Vardy is one of life's mysteries.

Croatia are a hard team but they play with heart and determination, problem is France put the ball in the net more often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Quote Was vardy not supposed to be nursing a groin strain?? I could have imagined it. Wasn't aware of this, but Vardy with a groin strain would have been better than those I mentioned. Our defence looks good enough - Harry Kane is good enough, but it is the space between the defence and Harry where we have very little.

walshie Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm not a football fan, but some of it amused me. Pickford is always shouting at his teammates for not doing this or that. Why don't his teammates shout at him for letting in goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
