    Fantastic goal, said for a few days to my mates, the Russians are going to beat Croatia.

    Sorry if it has been mentioned, but who is on a yellow for these teams?

    Stunning goal.

    I’d rather play Croatia than Russia, the Russians are riding a wave of national euphoria

    That's a brilliant goal, all this talk of doping etc etc might make them run faster and for longer but it doesn't help produce moments like that.

    Add to the fact that Uruguay took them apart.

    Russia seem to be meeting teams playing well below their par. Russia do look a bit scary here though

    Croatia didn't deserve to be behind. Dunno who I'd prefer to play.

    Think a ref is more likely to favour the home crowd in a semi final but Croatia are the better team overall.

    Cheryshev is such a great player to watch. All this chat about Messi and Ronaldo - I reckon Cheryshev is better than both of them.

    Maybe not the shot but it could have easily been the reason he reached the ball before the Croatian did.

    Both look pretty poor imo at the moment.

    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..

    Can anyone explain why Modric is playing so so deep? He's been in his own half 75% of the game???

    Russia look like a Championship side to me. Croatia are good with the ball but don’t seem to have a physical presence to combat the Russians.

    Based on the first 70 minutes I think England should fear neither.

    Think England’s set plays will frighten the shizer out of both.

    If this goes to extra time the Russians doping programme should really come into its own...

    We need a brutal energy sapping extra time followed by a shocking shootout like those days at Wimbledon in the 5th set.

    Russia to win by 26-25 pens

    Croatia keeper goes down feeling his leg in sudden pain after the last sub is used.

    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.
