Oh god we're on ITV.

Well it was fun while it lasted.

Just said on the radio that today's game has 2 of the most decorated players in football. Nice that they are keeping it seasonal.

Indeed, their saving grace is that Ian Wright is on their punditry team this time around, as good as any of the Beebs offerings in that department.

Will be good to see him back on the "right" side after the World Cup.

Come on Alexis, now the French have succeeded in removing us from the competition you are our remaining hope for international glory, Let’s hope you can go one better than the Brazilians and dispose of the Croats to hopefully set up a mega final against possibly the strongest side left in the competition (France) or the most determined (Morocco) either one would be a good final with at least World stage representation from an Albion star. Make it so Alexis.

Hmmm the one downside being that if the Argies, (and Alexis), go and win it, it will probably hasten his departure from little old Albion. Albeit i guess, with a few million added to his transfer fee.

Could not give a flying shite.....

Nice focus on our boy in the build up

If Croatia get through on penalties tonight, they will be in the final having only won one game all tournament from open play, against Canada

If Croatia get through on penalties tonight, they will be in the final having only won one game all tournament from open play, against Canada

And then if they won the final on penalties...astonishing

That should open the game up a bit now. It needed that.

 

[Si Gull]

1-0 Arg. Pen.

 

[amexer]

Never a penalty. Had played the ball and went over keeper who obviously had come out. Goals so hard to come by far to many penalties

 

[hart's shirt]

What a solo goal!!

 

[dazzer6666]

2-0……what a break

 

[Si Gull]

2-0……what a break

Stunning. Had a bit of luck but what a run.

 

[nicko31]

A BHA player in a WC final, pitch yourself

 

[Heffle Gull]

Looks like we may have to manage at Charlton without Alexis

 

[hart's shirt]

Croatia being run ragged now.

Almost a headed goal by Ali Mac.

 

[1066familyman]

What a solo goal!!

Picking the ball up in his own half. Very nice, but he did get the run of the ball there, and Molina opened up the space a treat for him.
