Czech Republic vs Croatia (non WHU)

[artlin]

This is my first ever match thread.

I am currently in Split, Crotia. Home to Hadjuk Split and Slaven Bilic. The taxi driver from the airport knes Slav when he was a youth player.

I have purchased a Hadjuk shirt and on Friday I shall be in a Split sports bar to watch the game with the locals.

I'm going to go with a draw, both sides are fairly decent.

Croatia should win this with ease. Czech Republic are rubbish.

[Pepin]

Will be at the stadium, supporting Czech national team. Croatians have much better players, but Czechs have been always getting best results when underdogs. My brother in law is an assistant manager and I have to go for Czech's win. 2-0 for mighty Czechs hopefully.

Have Czech Republic still got that big, bald bloke up front ?

[iLoveLasagne]

Jan Koller?! He hasn't been seen since PES on PS2 surely!

[warp]

last appearance for his country was in 2009. bloke's got 55 goals in 91 games for his country!

[DDHammer]

Huge respect to Dario Srna, found out after the 1-0 win over Turkey his Dad passed away, flew home for the funeral and back again today as captain

[fjthegrey]

Perisic is such class.

The Croats are class.

By the look of this ****ing terrible Czech team they could still do with him

[Ludeksgloves]

Croatia look like they will go far. I wonder what the odds are for them winning the lot?

What was Petr Cech doing there? Looked like he was waving bye bye to the ball as it went past him into the back of his net

[giantsteps]

Croatia look head and shoulders the best team in the tournament for me.

They ooze class.

[bobbymooresbracelet]

You forgot the 'a' .

Idiots chucking flares on. And not the type that Ian Brown wears.

[Devils Advocate]

Kicking off royally in the Croatia fan section. Flares on the pitch and fans fighting each other!

[Jarvo]

Why on earth are they doing that?? Their team is minutes away from winning

I hope phrases like 'the bad old days' and 'back to the 80's' are used in reporting this.

Looks like Croats are fighting amongst themselves now.
