[JohnJohn]

Modric is really good.

 

[Ban]

Any of these teams will be a walkover for Ingurland.

You wish.

Looks like he makes a living on the side selling human meat.

Fixed that for you.

Another set piece goal. How important are they in this world cup? The best teams left are the ones who are the most physically dominant in the air. None of the traditional possession teams like Germany and Spain have made it. It's all about counter attacking and physical presence.

Have to wonder if the threat of VAR has made it much more difficult to defend set pieces compared to the past. Not going to get away with the continued grappling that has been a mainstay of defending for years, players getting freer runs at the ball.

Not sure if it is entirely good for the game if it moves towards a set piece heavy game. Defenders and coaches will just have to adapt.

He looks like he is selling AKs to me.

Croatia vs England suits me.

They are better than Russia, but we could do without the added pressure of the constant booing and whistling from the Russian home fans.

 

[Ban]

I'm going out. I'm gonna just walk around.

 

[Berbaclass]

Fixed that for you.

I thought about putting that in the first place

[Denis79]

She is the president. Which in Croatia means a national mascot with an unlimited expense account.

Haha!

 

[Jacob]

Glad that Rashers and JLingz reached the WC final.

Yep, I meant the final.

I disagree, it'll reward great crossing and heading ability rather than wrestling skills.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Modric! Such energy.

Modric

You have to say if Russia can equalise now, they’ll probably win the penalty shootout as well. subasic being injured will be taken as a positive by them.

 

[Nick7]

Modric is a machine.

 

[simonhch]

Modric is bionic

 

[sullydnl]
