It is because England, once a large footballing nation with vocal fans has been a small team which is again now finally doing well and big boys can't fathom it.



People were doing that before we made any noises though lol.

Hell except some football coming home jokes we still haven't really.

Most people considered Colombia the favourite (inb4 poll) and this thread definitely considers Croatia the favourite.

Not saying they are wrong but we definitely haven't been the favourites.


You are still going on about this ffs Laughing

I find myself at the mercy of this movement. I try to fight it each day but there are days when I just stop eating or drinking and look out of the window, reminding myself I am at home and something could be coming.

Idi Hrvatski!


France are favourites regardless but I disagree tbh.

From what I've seen France don't have an issue with stifling individual talents, they have a much bigger issue with dealing with crosses into the box and set pieces.

Which of course we do way better than Croatia.

I agree some want you to fail. It's clear from the tone of their posts. But anyone who aint biased know this is an even game that could go either way. Croatia have shown nothing out of the ordinary that would blow you away. Neither have England lucked out their way this far. Both deserve to be in the semis.

I think we need to make a distinction of expecting a team to fail and wanting a team to fail and clearly it's the latter judging by some posts here.

tbf the reason most people hate england is because 80% of them have probably been colonised by us at some point in time. most people have no love for the boss man.

You pulled that 80% percentage from a place in your body that rarely ever sees the light of day, didn't you?

The rest of us normals, just cant understand how a team that can only score on corners, cant string three passes together and has Kieran Trippier as its most skilled player is going to win the World Cup????

Good luck to you lads.

I personally just want a 7-1 scoreline, dont care who wins or loses. I miss the days of when semi finals would end 7-1. It was a more innocent times, I was young and free, the world did not have tyrannical leaders, Europe was forming a nice coalition, everyone wanted to join in it, ahh those were the days, beer and booze were a lot cheaper too. It is all health food and weird shit now, you cant even find beer anymore.

Wouldn't mind who wins this. Been falling all over in love with Modric this tournament, and I wouldn't mind singing along 'It's coming home!' for a few more days. I think Croatia would put up more of a fight against France though, but who knows.

Just hoping for an entertaining game, last night's game was a bit of a bore.

France can make it so England hardly crosses the midline the whole game. They have the players for that (Varane, Umtiti, Pogba). There won't be any crossing in the first place. With Croatia, they will be forced to play the way they were until now. Croations scored some from set pieces, too.

I don't think that the older Croatia team can recover enough from two PK shootout games... England to win this one.

I'm friends with a few guys from former colonies and they're all rooting for England. The Stockholm syndrome runs deep.

The reason I give both teams 50/50 chances. Under normal circumstances, Croatia would have been favourites. Last game, half of their players had cramps during the extended time.

I can't shake off the feeling he/she is tormented by complexes and unhealthy narcissism (unique). I'd say he/she is with 90% probability from an ex Brit colony :coffee:

I maybe underestimating the impact but surely the near week off is enough to recover no? I don't think that impacts the game too much.

They played Sat so thats been three days rest before todays game? Not a lot at all and hopefully its enough for a fair contest. Hopefully not another cautious game where one tries to score a goal and protect it, or even just wait for ET and pens, although its common in these stages...

Gonna be interesting to watch where Croatia should be better in midfield but overall England should be better in attack, cant wait Very Happy
