World Cup 2018 Semi Finals

France must be hysterical right now. They will smash Croatia. It will be one of the most one sided World Cup finals in history.

Not so sure. France look quite solid, but Croatia has something beastly in them. I think it'll be tight. France will be going in huge favorites, which is a massive plus for Croatia.
 
Don't underestimate the Croats. Remember 2 years ago, France were meant to smash Portugal in the Euro 2016 final, at home in Paris? France have the ability to bottle it again

Can't underestimate the effect of the pressure on them. It was Englands undoing tonight. When playing football we dominated. Keep our bottle, and we were in the ascendency. We didn't and fell apart chasing the game.
 
No.


I thought Henderson did alright this tournament, to be fair.
He did lots of running. Passed the ball backwards a lot. Took lots of touches when he should have taken one or two. Pressed when he should have dropped, dropped when he should have pressed. Compacted our possession by coming too close. His behind markers when the press got too tough.

Standard Henderson really.
 
This for me as well, i do not think i have seen Kane so poor in a England shirt, and he was not the only one.
Thought Kane played well. Held ball well passed well. The problem for me was not Kane it was in the middle of the park. As much as Henderson has had a good tournament he was non existent today. The substitution for Dier should have been made earlier. Would have liked to see lotus cheek running at them too.
 
ITV fcuked us over again. We rarely win when England play tournament games on ITV. Even the Columbia game was actually a draw

Sorry but i disagree about Kane, thought he was poor and did not threaten at all except when he missed that first half chance he had.
 
Carrying an injury. He hasn't moved well since he got smashed in the ribs by that Colombian.

Its what I said about an hour ago - just looks a bit slower and less mobile than his usual self. Reminds me of when he came back from his latest ankle injury 3-4 weeks early and wasn't the same
 
I had to put up with Martin I will drone on and on Tyler. Put the mockers on England by stating that they had only kept one clean sheet so far and within seconds Croatia scored. GHod how I hate that cnut!

Plus there’s going to be only 1 currently Tottenham player in the final... after 8 bottled the semis... more hoodoo headlines for the tabloids!
