These saves are becoming almost ridiculous. This will go to penalties. I'll tell you that.

U S T A Š A !

Kidding, not all Croats are fascists, but sheesh even a Turk I know is singing Ustasa song lyrics in celebration of Croatia's goal.

I guess some people really don't like the Three Lions. Regardless, it was a well worked goal imo. Now the game is interesting.

England have lost the control they once solidly had over this game. How will they respond?

Part of me wants to see this go to penalties, but I also don't want to go through another 30 minutes of tit-for-tat missing.

I think if anyone will score in extra time, it will be England. But I have to give the slight edge to Croatia and Subasic if it goes to penalties.

Subasic's penalty saving is good, and Croatia's kickers better.

Italy did them before they went mainstream. That's why they didn't try hard to qualify, it's full of posers, so it's better to be noticed because of absence.

In a sense it's better England win because Croatia will be on zimmer frames for the final given the amount they've played this last three games.

Aha, thanks.

Not anti-supporting England or anything but I actually want, or wouldn't mind, them losing.

Why? Belgium vs England Part 2. I feel like Belgium was basically forced to win the first one.

You want a second pointless England v Belgium that both sides don't really care about? :eyebrow:

What an odd reason, the 3rd place playoff is so meaningless I find it hard to even bother watching it.

Eh, I feel like the 3rd place playoff should be cared about by both sides ideally. I mean, particularly for England, if they did lose (bare in mind, I don't particularly want Croatia to go through either... its 50/50 really tbh) since I imagine finishing 3rd would be better for them than finishing 4th. I can see England fighting for it - 3rd place is still huge for them - but Belgium, not so much.
