who would you rather, Russia or Croatia?

Seems like so much fun to talk about this. Wish I watched it. I've been hearing customers talk about it too.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-07-2018 10:23 AM

watch the semis if you get the chance. i think even for non-footy fans, the world cup is a blast to watch. it’s hard not to be emotionally invested when you see the players putting so much into it.

You should have watched it. It's not over yet though. Tune in for the semi-final against Russia or Croatia, should be amazing.

Key 07-07-2018 10:25 AM

I'll see if I can. I get it tho. I can be the same way with sports over here as well. Hell I'm stoked that the Mariners are having a good season. It'd be amazing to see the team that hasn't been great for a while make it to the world series.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-07-2018 10:26 AM

**** baseball and **** the mariners

the bluejays had a strong april before folding it in for the entire season. why would they toy with me like that? :(

Key 07-07-2018 10:27 AM

I'm mostly rooting for them because they're my cities team and we haven't had a good run with the mariners for several upon several of years.

Dunno. Not too bothered either way.

England are in the semi final that's all that matters :cool:

rubber soul 07-07-2018 10:35 AM

Personally, I want Croatia. They'll put Sir Harry in his place :laughing:

Maybe so but they will still have the rest of the squad to worry about.

The more focus on marking Kane, the more space to create chances.

Russia vs Croatia in one hour.

It should be good. England play the winner on Wednesday.

Cuthbert 07-07-2018 12:01 PM

We're under way.

Injuries, bookings, suspensions and penalties please.

Thanks.

debaserr 07-07-2018 12:24 PM

Rooting for Croatia too. I want a good match vs England, but I would guess the winner is coming from the other side of the bracket.

Akai 07-07-2018 12:33 PM

1-0

Lovely finish tbf.

rubber soul 07-07-2018 12:41 PM

1-1. Russian coach not happy.

This is going to be a crazy game.

Akai 07-07-2018 12:41 PM

1-1

Now we have a game.

Vatican City

Cuthbert 07-07-2018 01:00 PM

Well it's 1-1 and the match has been pretty even. Croatia seeing more of the ball but not many clear chances.

Hope it's 1-1 at full time too.

So whoever we play have played an extra 30 minutes. More chance for injuries too. Forgot that yellows are wiped after the quarter finals. Still time for some straight reds and three match bans though.

Gotta look for any advantage you can get in sport.

Cuthbert 07-07-2018 01:19 PM

Perisic :D

Raheem Sterling would have been proud of that one.

debaserr 07-07-2018 01:42 PM

Yes, I'm sure this guy will never play again /s

Cuthbert 07-07-2018 01:49 PM

Croatia keeper has just done his hamstring.

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just saying.

Trollheart 07-07-2018 01:50 PM

4 mins to win it

debaserr 07-07-2018 01:50 PM

I'd like to open an official investigation into Russian Interference.

I would never suggest that.

The team has done so well to make the semis, it's been a successful campaign for them. Maybe a 3rd place finish if we're lucky and that would be great.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-07-2018 02:30 PM

idk what more a world cup can offer

even the least appealing game of the round is delivering

Cuthbert 07-07-2018 02:33 PM

I wanted Russia to score mainly so I could hear the roar inside the ground.

Scenes now.

Trollheart 07-07-2018 02:36 PM

Super goal. Pennos on the horizon now for sure.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-07-2018 02:38 PM

croatia is the better team but russia have been very scrappy, not sure who i’d rather england meet in the semis.

rubber soul 07-07-2018 02:40 PM

All I can say is don't ask for Russia too hard. You might just get them (Host advantage goes a long way)

Trollheart 07-07-2018 02:43 PM

FFS! No ball to take the penalties!!! :rofl:

Cuthbert 07-07-2018 02:45 PM

****ing shocking penalty.

Doing the Panenka with the first of the shoot out :D :o:

Trollheart 07-07-2018 02:47 PM

Jesus! The Russians are **** at taking penalties!
