You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Courtois and Hazard bitching about French negativity. They were apparently at a different game last night and clearly one with fewer consequences. Go on lads - bugger off on holiday sharpish as you're facing the mighty Terriers again on 11th August and it doesn't seem five minutes since you got shut down by some proper end-of-season negativity and time wasting.
The sound of bottles crashing is loud in here. 😆
I haven’t felt this nervous about a Semi, since I watched Brokeback Mountain!
Dimensions and mobility of a fur covered wardrobe.
Some great lines on this thread. Keep it coming! 🙂
1-0, I reckon, that's about as optimistic as I can get about England.
I'm hoping for Sterling to slot one home so he can mimic shooting an automatic rifle as his goal celebration.
Bloody pressure will get higher if there is a penalty shoot out between England & Croatia ... 🙁
I hope England will win but the players need to work hard for this match.
So if we lose, I’m going to start being very careful where I book my holidays, or at least start betting on those countries to do well in football tournaments!
Can I interest Sir in a holiday in Scotland?
I asked around the office today where they were in 90. The 2 others who were born didn't watch it. Generational moment here.
On the tram now, kids with painted faces heading into the city now. Proper nerves time, I hope they remember this one for the good outcome.
If we win tomorrow how long before someone mentions agincourt ?
The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’
My prediction for The Daily Mail headline if we make it to the final
And of course there is always Trafalgar when we run out of Shakespeare
Can I interest Sir in a holiday in Scotland
Actually going for a week in August...
We’ve got our priorities straight in sunny Brentwood Senor J …… sort your life out…. !
Quite right Rosey.....swimming run FFS!
oooer....I'm getting excited now! Imagine how the players feel?
Just driven by the local pub/ place to go. It's very busy already with plenty walking down there. 12 years ago I'd have been in the melee up the front randomly chanting at the big screen. I'm tempted to go down but know it will be mayhem. I have zero self control when in the pub also so it will end up in 8 pints and feeling shite all day tomorrow!!!
Sofa for me. Enjoy folks.
C'mon engerland!!!!!!
Well gmp have stopped alcohol sales in the city centre so I guess it's time! Nerves up to 11
No nerves here, bought a bottle of wine to go with supper. Sat in a hotel room in my pants.
1-0 Cro
No nerves here ..just a quiet confidence ..
I'm too superstitious to watch it in the village ..as I have watched every game at home ..my lad is working tonight so I'm on my own ..
Bring it on !!!
Why is Roy Keane orange?
It's world cup time so he walks his dog a lot.
Mrs Binners just asked ‘why has Roy Keane come as an Umpa-lumpa?
What the hell are those good luck messages about at the ad breaks?
Good luck troops, i do genuinely mean that. I'll still laugh my head off you get beat mind 😆 But still all the best!
I predict 2-1 to england in 90.
only itv?
Yeah white shirts and ITV in the pub here not a good omen
I put a fiver on Croatia to win the tournament at the beginning of the WC. I am so conflicted.
I mean, I'm English, but £75 is £75 🤔
****ing adverts!
It’s time.
Screw you, itv!
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how ITV will **** up the live coverage of this? Advert break during the final penalty maybe? Cutting to Roy Keane scratching his arse with 2 mins to go possibly.

Oh my giddy aunt!
beezer!
I better cash out while I can.
I was still trying to synch the radio 5 commentary so heard the goal before I saw it!
Damn! I just went out to buy some bread and England scored! 😀
Dough!
Croatia really have trailed (tailed?) off since the group stages.
Croatia really have trailed off since the group stages.
Peak too early ... 🙁
carrying their luck in the last 2 games, only looking like one winner here unless croatia get the finger out!
*tailed.
Well....at least the game isn't a damp squid.
Dont sit back! If they are brave and really go for this there are goals to be had here
Checkw, can you please go for another bread trip. Happy to contribute
If England can beat Croatia by 3 nil then England is going to win the World Cup. 😀
Checkw, can you please go for another bread trip. Happy to contribute
If that can contribute to England winning I will go but how many trips do I need to make ... 😀
Chewkw go buy bread!
Chewkw go but bread!
😀 I am just about to open a bottle of Czech larger to relax now ...
Bit of tempo in this.....
Totally bossing this ..
yip, croatia fairly powder puff tbh, limited to pot shots.
ARRRRRGGHHH ... !!! Nearly there!!!
Dammmit weak heart must not watch this match.
Young looks a bit of a liability tonight
Croatia have been pretty poor so far.
Why was it a goal kick off Kane's chance just then? Off the keeper and out!
So 32 mins in. 5 mins of stress, 1 min of joy, 27 mins of worse stress.
Still think Sterling is rubbish?
Odd to see such a gifted technical team like Croatia lumping it long so often.
By far the better team, but job not done yet.
You've got to imagine Croatia will change things up tactically here and go for it, they have to I think, you can't go out so meekly in a wc semi, can you?
I think sterling has had a brilliant half.
Young looks slower than the Croatian guy he’s marking. Paging mr Rose .
Cant quite believe I’ve enjoyed it .
btw rosey & rockape are quite right. 🙂
It's amazing how football is helping chewkw and his typing 😉 worst view of the screen all tournament here but can't be alone for this one
Anyone think they have been saving their legs a bit in that first half ..they have shown next to nowt ..
Still not worried though...😁
COME ON FOOTBALL!!!!!⚽️
The ITV pundits just don’t have any life in them! Are they actually enjoying being there or is it a bore for them?!
Wrighty is saving himself the extra pay means he can party with shearer and linker
Good acting from Walker.
Delle Alli has gone missing again ..17mins into the second half and he has only touched it once ..
It looks like Croatia will apply rugby tackle soon 🙁
How is that not a card?
This path to the WC seems to have preordained by the baby Jesus himself.
The ref's having a shocker so far, which seems to be encouraging Croatia to keep fouling
defending with yer bollocks, that's commitment! 😆
Oooof, new balls please!
Kyle walker, balls of steel
Bollocks
ooops! 😆 game on!
Dammmit! An equaliser ... 🙁

Now you have offended the baby Jesus and he has punished you!
They have been dozing since half time ..game on ..
tables have turned a bit here!
sterling for rashford probly right, sterling crackin first half not so good second.
Well binners, your man's on....
Ffs ..wrong player hauled off ..Alli is a complete passenger
Sterling still making runs, it is Ali and Henderson not finding those runs in te second half, Rashford will do nothing if they continue not to.
