My name change is with regard to the nation whom I feel will win, and I wanted to win.
Also, fuck England... HOWEVER, I want them to do really well, and score at least twice, before being...
Nah, I honestly couldn't give a fuck.
I like PPV. I like England. ROBOTWARS!

Many Balkan countries and Turkey have a spirit that they call something derived obviously from the same word - Rakija (Croatia and Bosnia), Rakı (Turkey), ракия (Bulgaria), Rakia (Greece and Albania), ракија (Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia) . In Romania, ţuică is sometimes called răchie.
But though the word may have been spread by the Ottomans (or it may not, i have no idea), that doesn't mean it's a Turkish word originally. It could just as easily come from what is now Croatia.

Won't pretend that I'm very informed about the entire Scottish independence thing. Won't say anything whether it's better they were or not. That's up to the people there, not for me to meddle in. I also won't say whether this was an act of genuine support or more so a provocation aimed at London. I will just put it up here and I know a lot of Scottish fans are behind us this evening, this being one reason for some of them.

Dalic has gone for the holding midfielder behind the Golden Balls then, probably the more pragmatic option, we'll see if they both get pushed up high enough to get into Henderson's space, if so, he's going to have a very long night.

The Vida and co nationalistic rant about the Ukraine was a little off-putting. You'd think they would put their Yugoslav sectarianism behind them at this point.
I think Croatia will take it, but a France-England final would be epic, it would have the feel of a last matchday of a V Nations with a grand slam on the line for both countries.
Why isn't Vardy playing, is he injured or just not deemed good enough to start?
