Re: Quarter Finals - Russia v Croatia ~ Match thread
On paper, this is the most mismatched quarter final but, Croatia made heavy going of their game against Denmark.
I think this game is going to go one of two ways. Either Croatia will be 3-0 up at half-time and cruise home or it'll be extra time and penalties and Russia will go through.

I fancy an upset, with the might of the crowd and their performances so far along with the pressure on Croatia, I wouldn't be surprised with a tight Russian win.

Croatia looked spent in the extra time. Russia to win 1-0.

I'd prefer Croatia, if they can rig an US election the world cup is nothing

Re: #60 Russia v Croatia - Quarter Finals ~ Match thread
Russia’s manager said after Spain that Putin calls him before and after every match. Wouldn’t surprise me if he picks the side. Talk about pressure for a team.
I don’t know who would be better for England. Croatia are obviously the better side, but the atmosphere against Russia will be very intense.

Please let it be Croatia. I do not want us facing Russia, particularly in current climate.

I agree, with all this Novichok business etc. I'd much prefer that Russia go out tonight. Also the last team to beat Croatia in the Semis went on to win the Cup. "It's coming home"the celestial insect wrote:Please let it be Croatia. I do not want us facing Russia, particularly in current climate.

Slav playing down Croatia’s chances on ITV. I hope they win. Russia in the semi will be a VAR nightmare.

I'm taking Russia with the Putin effect, but it could go to penalties, in which case I haven't a scooby, both keepers are penalty saving experts

If Russia win this then England don’t make the final.

If Russia win this and we lose to them, then we can just wait for the doping scandal to emerge in about a year
If Croatia win and we lose to them, Slav, Modric, Prosineki - nice beaches
Either is fine for me
Hope it goes to penalties and they’re knackered
