I was unimpressed by Croatia's performance today. They were as unconvincing as France.

Really, it looked like nobosy truly wanted to win this match. At least, the Swiss showed some resolve and motivation, they put all their guts in the final minutes, for the sake of honour (well, it backfired, but the Swiss didn't have much to lose anyway by taking the risk)

We wanted to win alright, but we can't really play much better than this. This is not actually the best generation Croatian football ever had. To tell the truth, they are a bunch of incompetent malaki. They have no imagination.

But they held very well against Chirac's minions! Could have won and the second French goal is still discussed here. But anyway it is past now. I'm somewhat pleased, not by the result but by our play which showed signs that this team will one day mature to perfect the beautiful Croatian tradition of destructive football

Thank you

I just read a comment on BBC... England will now play for draw and it will cost them dearly - I surely hope so

OFITG spotting!



How's the weather up there?

Ready to crack some English heads if we lose? I'd help but there are none here

just watched the Croatia game and they looked pretty good, I'd hate need a win rather than a draw.

NOT SO FAST!


Here's my prediction of the game.

35'
Croatia leads 1:0 in the first half, from a penalty, corner or some such. I don't expect us to score from the play

Thus ends the first half.

English press on in the second half, gradually losing patience.

65'
Rooney gets a red card from a very disputable situation. By this time Croatia already have five or six yellow cards. English patients on the stadium lose - patience.

Game crawls to a halt with frequent fouls. A fight almost erupts between players when a Croatian defender kicks Beckham in the groin, apparently for no reason. Referee didn't see it.

75'
Owen scores the goal for 1:1

English press on, Croats defend.

85'
Another red card for England, this time for Beckam.

Croatian replacements, more attackers (Olic probably)

89'
Olic scores for 2:1

Portugese police increase presence around the stadium.

92'
As the last English attack fails, crowds of islanders start to demolish Lisabon.

Croats couldn't care less

Oh yeah, thanks paiktis for nice wishes. Hopefully we can return it by gracefully demolishing Greece 1:0 instead of humiliating you with 5:0

And just so I don't forget, there is historical background.

Britain is traditionally unfriendly as a nation to Croatia, this goes back to before WWII and continues to this day (UK plays the bad cop in our EU negotiations).

But not entire UK is the enemy ofcourse we respect the Scots and I saw a poll that says 70% of them will root for Croatia come monday so this is mutual.

[VetLegion]

And ofcourse the brotherly Irish, lets not forget them always suffering under English imperialism but staying proud and never surrendering!

[Solly]

Quarters against Greece for us..

I've never met a Scot who doesn't want England to lose. Don't feel special.

When England trounced Switzerland fans started singing "Are you Scotland in disguise?!".

Isn't it the same with wales, Ireland, and France?

[Bereta_Eder]

Why is nooone for England?

[Bereta_Eder]

England is starting to seem like a beaten little puppy. That's no good.
