    Well i guess obviously because it's Russia there will be finger pointing but i don't think we're seeing anything amazing. Not once have i watched a Russia game (and i've seen all 4) and thought 'wow those guys are running around like lunatics'.

    It's worth pointing out that the Russian league season is only 30 games and they have a winter break from mid-December until March, so their (largely domestic based) squad is probably the freshest in the entire tournament.

    Watching extra time I thought the Russians were moving like they had only just kicked off for the second half, but i'm happy to agree to disagree on this one since I can't really prove anything.

    I will say though Russia as a sporting nation have brought all of the finger pointing and accusations on themselves.

    Modric is such a great player to watch. All this chat about Messi and Ronaldo - I reckon Modric is better than both of them.

    Get out

    Like the way Croatia always look to take advantage of the fact you can't be offside from a throw in.

    Hi Mr Modric,

    Hope your day is going well,
    I am just wondering what the father of a Real Madrid player is doing on our great forum

    Regards

    Blimey, he's good but not up there with them two. Certainly one of the very best central midfielders I've had the pleasure to watch live.

    Croatia lowering my expectations about their prospects, they’ve looked very ordinary tonight

    Not 100% sure but think Knudsen plays for Ipswich.






    Seriously does he have to say everytime Denmark get a throw that Knudsen plays for Ipswich

    Dont agree with that
    12 minutes away from penalties and you take of Mandzukic
  • If England don't make it then we'll have a country in the final who have never won the world cup.

    Only once in the last 40 years has that happened.
