    I thought we had already established that the second you make any kind of prediction on this thread the opposite almost instantly happens!

    Big fan of Mandzukic. Proper number 9.

    Half time in fourth game of the day. Have enjoyed hardly moving all day and watching pretty much non-stop football but think I might be going into a bit of a trance.

    Think the Croats have looked the most organised well balanced team so far.

    Have Karl Robinson and Russell Slade taken over as managers of Croatia and Nigeria?

    This match reminds me of Charlton home games and not in a good way.

    Nigeria look more likely to score than I expected.

    WTF is the Defender doing there... Referee has VAR to fall back on let alone the fact he's standing right in front of him

    So pleased a ref has pulled these fucking idiotic GBH centre half's at corners and free kicks.
    It's utterly ridiculous at times and has been for years.

    someone needs to tell the Nigerian defender there he's playing football not rugby (pretty sure that would be an illegal tackle in rugby as well actually!)

    Nigeria have been less than average.

    Got Croatia in the handicap sweepstake at work and need to get to semi finals to win a share of the pot. Not very hopeful but this is a good start.

    This smacks of of corruption. An own goal and a deliberate penalty + Nigeria. I’m convinced they have absolutely no intention of winning this game.

    Fifth penalty of the day according to the BBC... doesnt break the record (six) though

    No red cards yet though. Normally we have had a couple by now at least.

    Referreing has been spot on in all games more or less.

    Would like to see a couple of yellows at least for diving if I'm being Picky.
