Neither team looking unbeatable for sure. I just don't want Russia in the semi. If we lose to a better team then fine, but I don't want to lose and there be any other questions hanging over as to why.
Russia break through 110KM (113KM total) covered for the 4th time in 5 games in around 3 weeks, plus 4 days after covering an incredible 147KM in a game that went to extra time.
We all saw the state the England players got in when it got deeper into extra time on Tuesday night... so you would expect the Russians to be similarly knackered and struggling - cramps etc.

Lets see
There is no possibility of the Russians cheating in this tournament. Not by drug use anyway.
Both Russia and Croatia played 120 mins in the last round. They're going 120 mins this round. Our win in 90 mins against Sweden looks to have given us a small advantage over both these teams.
Our opponents are going to be knackered on only a few days rest.
when did I mention the word drugs in my post? I am suggesting the Russian fitness team are working miracles and belong at a top premier league or champions league team because they are clearly doing something exceptional...

If a 39 year old can manage 2 120 minute matches in a 4 day turnover then maybe Johnnie Jackson can still do a job for us for the next 4 seasons... We just need to find these completely fair and above board fitness methods the Russians are using....

How can you say there is no possibility
Drug testing in the tournament is very tight and Russia have been acknowledged for state sponsored cheating. It’s more than they dare do.
Comments
Think a ref is more likely to favour the home crowd in a semi final but Croatia are the better team overall.
We did in spells but when we turned it on we always looked like we were going to score.
Cannot say that whatsoever with these two teams - they both look like they are looking for a bit of luck or inspiration.
Dare I say it but we had belief? Big difference..
Based on the first 70 minutes I think England should fear neither.
Think England’s set plays will frighten the shizer out of both.
Russia to win by 26-25 pens
