The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Modric looks exhausted, very frail looking

 

[darlowolf64]

What was that!

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

One of the worst pens I've ever seen

 

[darlowolf64]

Good save, back level

 

[darlowolf64]

but not for long ha ha ha

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Another shocker!

 

[Derby Wolf]

Modric you lucky bastard!

 

[darlowolf64]

All over and the drug-free Croatia on Wednesday

 

[Parkins left foot]

How wonderful to watch a penalty shoot out that I didn't care who won!

 

[Derby Wolf]

Croatia it is.

That Modric penalty is when you know it's yours
To bounce off the post and go in the opposite side is insanely lucky.

 

[Freddeno]

Best team won

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Need Croatia to win the penalty shootout...Their players have been dropping like flies while Russia could play another 30 minutes while doing star-jumps! Don't know what's in their water

the term narginal gains generally covers that

Croatia looked absolutely knackered at the end but they should be recovered by Wednesday. Reality is Croatia have looked poor in both knock out games. But they’ve played 2 sides that have been very defensive minded. It’s a toss of a coin game if you ask me now.

 

[Freddeno]

Croatia is a very good team and like England has a lot of talent...VERY difficult to call a winner here

 

[darlowolf64]

Watching the replay of the celebrations, the Croatia #18 slid in and then grabbed his hamstring... Who's that and is he important to them?

That'll be the winger, Ante Rebic. He's looked a tidy player whenever I've seen him which admittedly isn't much.

Deep reality the winner of the World Cup isn’t coming from our semi final, at some point in the next 8 days we’ll experience devastation or utter utopia.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Get through and then we see. Let's face it we know the players on the other side very well.

 

[jd1981]

My expectations have been exceeded a lot and I’m still proud of this side if they go out Wednesday night but I can’t deny losing in a semi final or final is awful for a couple of days after remember crying myself to sleep in 1990.

Passed out after the England match and have now just woke up wide awake. Going to be a long night.
