Croatia are the better side, but I'm glad we don't have all the baggage of facing Russia.

They have a stellar midfield but Mandzukic is pushing 33 and Kane has Lovren's number in the PL.

I think we might just have too much energy and youth for them so long as we don't let Modric run the game.

Sterling knows Lovren pretty well as well.

Just meant that they used to be teammates, and he's played against him quite a bit. He knows how Lovren plays. Whether that's useful information to him...

Having watched them in this tournament I was thinking some of these Russian players would be bargain buys. Golovin for one.

Also, we are always struggling for a right back and I was reckoning Fernandes should be affordable even for us. Then with 5 mins to go up he pops with the header and his price probably went up £10m on the spot. Talking of which, his penalty miss might have levelled his price a little!
I'd still have him though.
