Nothing against England or their fans here, but watching them, beautiful football looks different. They make the best out of it and show how important strength in set pieces and trainable sitautions is but it's not really nice to watch. It's not that they are terrible players or unlikeable, it just seems wooden and sterile. You don't understand. That is one of the main sources for banter. I'm trying to live a somewhat healthy life just to be there for the celebrations of the 100 year anniversary of failing!
Russian defences breached, they really could have used Neustadter or Rausch instead of these 80 year old geezers
England must be enjoying this. 1-England plays 1st 2-England played only 90 minutes 3-Russia/Croatia play 2nd and go ET and are likely to be more tired for the SF
Would have been a snooze fest, I think. If this score stands and Croatia eliminate Russia, would the Russians root for England in the semis? That would be strange, to say the least.
When is the last time a team had two back to back penalty shoot outs in a world cup? Is this a first by Russia and Croatia?
