Three poor games today. Far too cagey.

Welcome to knock out football, wait till the semis and the final

Nothing worse than a cagey semi

One of the most disappointing games, given the talent on both sides.

This side of the draw is there for the taking. What a monumental fuck up we will inevitably regret.

You say that, however if England hadn't scored the last minute winner against Wales, they would be at home now.

We'd have qualified as one of the best third place teams with three draws, and been playing Germany tomorrow.

So... almost as good as home. ;-)

Not sure who will regret it more, us or Spain.

i don't even particularly think we will regret it. the better football will be in our half. the greater glory. if we lose (except on monday) it'll have been to a properly good side. bring on the half of death

At least we'll lose on penalties to a decent team

Just get the feeling that Croatia could easily win this, if they weren't so scared of losing.

Snore.

Surprisingly poor game this one, looks odds on penalties to me.

Leuth

i'm so sorry everyone

ValleyGary

You promised a worldie. I might flag you.

Leuth

please do, i only got 4 flags post referendum, which clearly isn't as many as i should have gotten

Leuth

also, if this is 2-2 aet then i'm gonna claim i was right all along

Leuth

fuck me, badelj has an 80-20 challenge halfway through the portugal half, smashes it out for a throw on purpose, fuck this game

Leuth

actually full on burst out laughing at that shot from kalinic

ValleyGary

England ain't that bad after all

Leuth

if harry kane had done that there'd be a burning effigy in front of the emirates stadium by 11pm

Was really looking forward to Croatia v Portugal but woefully disappointing.

ValleyGary

I can't believe what I'm seeing. This is Vanerama Conference quality.

Think it might be 0-0 after penalties!

The final ball from both teams is woeful.

Alwaysneil

Ronaldo has missed 4 of his last 6 penalties for club and country according to the commentary which surprised me.

Yes I take that point after my Slovakia game remarks.

superclive98

The players look bored too.

Alwaysneil

Vida should have done better.

Exiled_Addick

If he'd spent less time fouling and more time getting set to jump, he'd have scored there.

ValleyGary

I've just heard on the radio that this is the first major tournament game since 1966 with no shot on target during 90 minutes. Brilliant.

Leuth

Croatia seem to have woken up a bit. Took them 110 minutes ffs
