    Russia break through 110KM (113KM total) covered for the 4th time in 5 games in around 3 weeks, plus 4 days after covering an incredible 147KM in a game that went to extra time.

    We all saw the state the England players got in when it got deeper into extra time on Tuesday night... so you would expect the Russians to be similarly knackered and struggling - cramps etc.

    Lets see

    I don’t want to play Russia in the semis, there would be so much politics around it, and Southgate and the players don’t deserve that

    There is no possibility of the Russians cheating in this tournament. Not by drug use anyway.

    Both Russia and Croatia played 120 mins in the last round. They're going 120 mins this round. Our win in 90 mins against Sweden looks to have given us a small advantage over both these teams.

    Our opponents are going to be knackered on only a few days rest.

    when did I mention the word drugs in my post? I am suggesting the Russian fitness team are working miracles and belong at a top premier league or champions league team because they are clearly doing something exceptional...

    How can you say there is no possibility

    If a 39 year old can manage 2 120 minute matches in a 4 day turnover then maybe Johnnie Jackson can still do a job for us for the next 4 seasons... We just need to find these completely fair and above board fitness methods the Russians are using....

    Drug testing in the tournament is very tight and Russia have been acknowledged for state sponsored cheating. It’s more than they dare do.

    Looks like it might be Croatia for us, but nothing to fear on this showing

    We'll potentially face Croatia three times this year if this result stays the same as we play them twice up to November in the Nations League

    Just put a head on it and it went in

    Small margins...

    I only hope we do not see another side of Russia "support" if they are knocked out tonight. Been a fantastic tournament and would be awful if it went sour if they are out...

    Be nice if they got behind England rather than Croatia seeing that we didnt knock them out

    why did they not sub subasic as soon as extra time started? no point keeping on your penalty specialist 'keeper if the only reason you get to penalties is that he made a mistake while injured. he very nearly cost them there

    Russian coach just screamed at the crowd "You know I am being sent to Siberia if I Fucking lose this game".

    Russia are awful and Croatia aren’t much better. Genuinely think we have a great chance against either. Croatia will be the bigger test, but lock down modric and rakitic and we might be okay.

    Fifa don’t carry out the drug tests. It’s independent.

    at this rate every single member of the Croatian team is going to be on a yellow and not a single one of them suspended and then they all get wiped!
