Russia v Croatia - QF - 7pm

[Nalis]

We forgot about this and England (or Sweden)'s potential semi final opponents?

 

Reckon 2-0 Croatia win.

[Webbo]

Hope we don't have to face Russia. Harry Kane will probably end up with with novichok in his tea.

3 nil Croatia...

[Max Wall]

Difficult to make much of a case for Russia but I've thought that before most of their matches.

Another shock is possible but Croatia's midfield just looks too strong to me. 0-3

 

[Tuna]

I think this one will go to another penalty shootout.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Croatia to win but closer game than many predictions I have seen

[bovril]

1-1, Russia win on pens. History is littered with Balkan / ex-Yugo countries that were packed full of talent but fell short. Croatia seem quite fragile and I won't be surprised if they crumble.

Putin 3 Croatia 1.

Croatia 2-1 

[Facecloth]

I think Russia's style suits us better but I don't really fancy playing the host nation if they've managed to get that far.

[ARM1968]

2-1 Russia. 

[spacemunky]

Go Croatia!

[Webbo]

Let's hope it goes to ET and a few players get injured/suspended.

Sounds good to me.

 

I don't think this Croatia side is as good as people think.

[Footballwipe]

Really don't want the politics of a Russia match.

 

Heard that several Croatia players on a yellow for suspension. Let's have Rakitic, Brozovic, Mandzukic, and Corluka alll booked in a comfortable 2-0 win for Croatia, please.

3 nil drubbing 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Cmon Croatia!!!

[Sir Shep]

Don’t really want to face the home nation, especially given what’s happened recently in Salisbury but on paper they’d be easier to beat. Like Webbo said, hope it goes to extra time and star players suspended!

Aren’t yellow cards wiped after the quarters?

Not if you're on one and get another. 

 

If you're on one and are still on just one after the quarters, then it's wiped clean.

Love Ally McCoist. Best co commentator by a mile.

Him and Jon Champion are a great double act.

Was about to post something similar!  McCoist>Hoddle x100000000000

 

(Though considering we're mainly listening to the footy while we watch the tennis, it's probably even more obvious...)

No difficult tbh. Them and Martin O'Neill.
