Am I the only one that's shocked how none of Russia's players were tired and exhausted after playing 2x 120 minutes and Croatia's players were either all very tired and exhausted or some of them even injured? :blink:

makes you think


cant say i noticed much of a difference to be honest

Are you confident of a Croatian victory?

I must admit I'm worried about Modric and Rakitic, as our current formation is just Henderson in central midfield with Dele and Lingard playing further up, who are attacking midfielders.

Then again, it looked like your players were totally spent after the Russia game. Could they go another 120 minutes, I'm not so sure...

as long as you can stop mandzukic and give henderson enough support you will be fine
i would drop one out of lingard or alli for a more defensive player to win the midfield battle

I was thinking something similar too, like dropping Alli for Delph

No, not at all. It is just funny meme :)

England is powerful, but Croatia usually play much better when facing a good opponent.
There were numerous interviews where they said it is hard to play long games and that they are exhausted, but they will be fine for game and do their best.

Only one player might not play for us, which is Vrsaljko.
It will definitely gonna be a good game from both of sides.

Good luck :)

Think France will take the upper hand tomorrow against us. I really hope I'm wrong but I'm already happy with our tournament, beating brasil was amazing.
