Croatia, part of the former Soviet controlled Eastern Bloc, beat Russia. Is that wise, do you think? Invasion this year or next?................................



...............................or were the practice runs in Wiltshire just to prepare for this eventuality?

Perfect......Croatia but knackered.

Putin and the Russian Mafia would never allow England to beat Russia in Moscow - this is perfect for us.

Croatia deserve to be their on merit. Tough game coming up.

Not sure why we should be fearful of Croatia to be honest.

Denmark took them to pens and would have even beaten them had they had any quality at all in the final third. They haven't looked like world beaters tonight against a spirited Russia.

On balance, I'm very happy with how things have panned out today. The way this tournament has gone, I'm pleased we'll be playing Croatia rather than Russia funnily enough.

As far as I’m concerned that’s the perfect outcome. Croatia start after us & play longer. The Russian Bear doesn’t have home advantage. One game against fairly equivalent opponents to make some history. Game on.

Until you remember that we face France or Belgium from the other side of the draw !

France and Belgium is so big - and will be so mega and they might just bash eachother up and drain eachother - and the winner may have little left to give in the final.

These are the two best footballing teams - and they are close rivals.......the winner may be dead on their feet.

I think the cards are scrubbed, but any injuries won't be.

Thought cards got wiped after the QF games?

But Croatia and us will also give everything and should be equally knackered - except Belgium/France get an extra day's rest.

That'll be a different Croatia to the one that was part of Yugoslavia under Tito, who would have nothing to do with Russia then? :facepalm:

In a thread already chocked full of embracing stereotypes and nonsense, this still wins la la looney post of the day.
