5 minutes to get through....so Russia will be shooting and crossing from all angles now.
 
Is he actually injured or is he being dramatic? He looks fine now
 
What makes you think that? This WC has been clean
I dont know exactly, its nothing specific, but some referee's get way to influenced by the atmosphere of the game and their decisions can get a bit compromised. we've all seen games where the crowd is intense and pretty intimidating and the decisions seem to go all over the place.

Think its just foreign territory for me, this is my first proper world cup where England haven't been either given questionable decisions or just not had the rub of the green at times, feel like a semi final vs russia, in moscow, could see the end of that, but its purely just a gut feeling.
 
Who's is that little terrier with no. 10 on the shirt? He's pretty good.
 
This shithouse Russia team is going to the semis aren’t they? On two penalty shootouts I bet. Hate to see such negativity rewarded but Croatia are playing right into their hands. They look like they are half arsed about scoring.
 
Great news for england. Both teams playing another extra time. And these russians really know how to defend
 
This Russian team reminds me a lot of the Greek Euro 2004 winning team. Just a bunch of defensive lumps waiting for the one sucker punch.

Well it's essentially a home game for Russia so you'd expect an odd thing to go the Russian way. Still, I've not seen anything from Russian games thus far, to suggest that refs are favouring them in any way. You want to see a farce; see South Korea in 2002.
 
I'll be home in half an hour. These cnuts better hold out until then.

It’s not like Croatia has been great shakes. It’s been Modric and 10 others
 
I really hope we play Croatia, can not underestimate a home crowd for a World Cup semi. Croatia are pretty crap at the back and Modric is on his last legs.

What ? They're really solid.
