    Russia v Croatia

    The Quarters should be where an overachieving host goes out. Hopefully the Denmark game was the one below par performance that Croatia needed to get out of their system.

    Football needs a Croatia win very badly here.

      I'm a bit worried about what Bilić said after the Denmark game. That Croatia don't have it mentally at this level of game, that the level of expectation in matching the '98 team is too much for them. That strikes me as more likely than a one off stutter.

        That was quite a damning comment from Bilić, wasn’t it? All the more so because he will have managed some of the players for the national side.

          I'm not sure where he's getting that from.
          Modric has played several Champions League finals and won them all. Raktic has played a CL-final and won it. Mandzukic has played a CL-final and won it. Vida doesn't give a shit who's on the other side and what game it is, neither does Perisic or Vrsaljko. Maybe he's thinking about us having a bloody Liverpool back there?

            Yes, I thought this game was too serious for jokey titles.

              I'm just messing with you. Don't mind me and my stupid sense of humour.

                  I want Croatia to win this, but a part of me can't help but think that Russia would be an easier semi-final opponent, playing in a similar manner to Sweden.

                    That anthem is so good. Only Land Of My Father's comes anywhere near it. But that's just an inspired piece of writing. When I hear the Russian anthem, I always gasp at the scale of the Eastern Front in WW2. Well, I say Eastern Front. I really mean The Front for most of the war.

                        Russia have got the cool flag socks back, aces.

                        Means Croatia go to a darker sock too which suits the overall kit better.

                          Russia back to their flag socks. (As noted by my fellow kit watcher above)

                          Croatia for me due to Asanovic and Stimac connections.

                              This is a very interesting match. It should be 11 Dragos out there (Rocky 4, not GOT), but it might end up being 11 quite old, scared bloke in too baggy shorts.

                                Not sure playing Modric deeper is really working.

                                  In part because Rakitic is struggling to find his game.

                                    Come on Croatia. Not only are they clearly much better than Russia, but we also needed to be protected from some pre-WWI entente of empires hegemony.

                                                  FFS, the itv website jumped from "he'll try one" to celebrations.
