As someone (forget who) once said, the bloody Russians will be the last people on the planet. Never give up.
 
How can you not be pulling for Russia as a neutral? 70th in the world. Getting by on grit and team work. Imagine if Argentina, Germany, or Brazil played with grit and team work?!

That'll be it yeah, pure grit
 
Wow. They will be mentally and physically exhausted by Wednesday. England has a massive advantage in the extra days' rest.
 
Croatia deserve that to be fair. They’ve played the whole knockout stage at 50%.

Their politics and doping scandals in other sports?

Seriously, everyone talked them up after the group stages as the favorite to win the damn thing. Very underwhelming performances relative to the level of the opponents they had since then.
 
Their players will become legends no matter the outcome. This is crazy!
 
Croatia haven't impressed at all tbf. It's just that game against Argentina that has hyped them.
