Michael Oliver is a bit over familiar with the top players, patting their arm and patting their cheek, all a bit creepy really. Glad its not just me - at best not appropriate ( in my view thoroughly nauseating...). You're a ref, not their best mate?

Light years? You been drinking Dulux again? Us and France are. When I said I’d expect England to easily beat Brazil it wasn’t a fishing exercise. They'res little between any team in the last 8 ...light years...behave Bayern. You have to give Croatia credit . They know what they have and make it work.

Croatia 4 draws and one win (against Canada). Sorry but for me they don’t deserve to be in the semifinals. It's knockout football, mate. Not sure looking at results from above means much?

The way we set up and play I would prefer Croatia to Brazil. Long way to go yet.

Oh dear, what a shame!
I have never liked the Brazilian way of playing football.
Why were Brazil favourites when Croatia reached the last final and beat Brazil enroute?
If only England could beat France tomorrow - the winner of that game stands a great chance of reaching the final.

After some of the play acting have no sympathy for them.
Croatia are like a boxer no bugger can knock out
I think is open for Argentina now if they win tonight.

Croatia 4th penalty. The lad Orsic.
I thought it was going wide. One of the best placed penalties I can remember.

The wankfest over them seemed odd. Is Neymar crying? Enough tears to provide drinking water to every third world country Marvellous

You have to give Croatia credit . They know what they have and make it work. Disagree. France and us are next level. Portugal too maybe. The rest are average. Any team that starts Richarlison can’t be taken seriously.

Plus, unlike Brazil, they're unbeaten. Yes but Portugal did also beat Croatia in the last 16 and France in the final (albeit after extra time). That feels a lot more like proper wins to me.

I think you're fishing there Bayern to be fair...not literally, unless ice fishing. They certainly have a chance but England a level above Argentina? Of course not. Saying it and proving it are very different things. Weren't they going to brush the USA aside ? This tournament has shown that you have to earn wins

Croatia learned something in their first years as a footballing country that England only figured out recently.
How to play tournament football. These competitions aren't meant to be a beauty pageant.

Argentina are a really good side and I win a nice few ££££ . I think some getting a bit carried away as don't expect anyone left to beat anyone else so to speak. So little between them all. Hopefully might see a bit of a better Dutch performance later. Badgo will be reminded of him mocking my Dutch outsider for the semi comment of course....or not if they lose 😉
