Get a feeling this is going to be an attritional, long drawn out game possibly with a single goal in it or culminating in a penalty shootout.

Mon little Leo and already we want pens.

No we don’t. It’s going to be a horrible dirge if it goes that far.

Knock out football has jeopardy all game. Therefore always tension.

How much money have you staked on that?

[Carlos J]

At least Coisty's on to nullify the Matterface-Dixon duo of dire.

Whomever in the other thread said they were like a bad first date was spot on.

[Carlos J]

Croatia looking positive so far.

[theleader82]

An even game so far. Croatia seem to be dominating the midfield. Messi could open them up later on if they tire

[kancutlawns]

Alvarez the cheat.

[Zambo]

Were you watching Harry?

[Carlos J]

We're you watching Harry?

Ha.

Jimmy Hill makes a comeback!

[kancutlawns]

Superb from Alvarez. Indestructible.

No pens, thank fuck.

[Carlos J]

Some luck but still a nice goal.
