Hoping for a Croatia win today.
Interesting to see how England will approach the midfield match-ups.

Referee will be Cuynet Cakir from Turkey. He's worked several England games and I don't think they've lost any of them. He's a UEFA elite referee and it's interesting they're keeping the game firmly in the UEFA family.

Croatia probably have a case of dead legs but I'm rooting for them anyway.
I am guessing England takes it.

There are approximately 0 England players on the team now that played in that match and Mandzukic and Rakitic as a sub played for Croatia.
Man how did England not perform well with that midfield and defense (Not including Green)

If Croatia win the World Cup, is Modric a top 20 player of ALL TIME?
Going for Croatia as well but I don't think they win. I think they're a better team but they've played almost a full game more than England has at this point and England's starters basically had their last group game off.
Harry Kane:
The Tottenham striker has scored on six of the seven days of the week for England, with Wednesday the only day he hasn't scored on.
Should he score, he'll become just the third player to score on all seven days of the week for England, after Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.

Croatia look totally spent after the last game. However in my opinion Belgium in previous games was on fire but last night pretty much seemed to have lost it.
Wanting England a the way.

As long as Croatia doesn't foul in the box he won't join the other 2.
Agreed. England hasn't played an opponent worth a damn this tourney (scrub match vs. Belgium), but I think they pull this out given Croatia's fitness. I picked Belgium vs. Croatia for the final, so after yesterday, I have a hunch the English advance.OregonAggie said:

Heading to find a good pub near Waterloo to watch the match, come on England!
If England win, we all get to see an epic France-England match for the finals. If Croatia win, their underdog story continues. I'm probably pulling for Croatia, but I'm mostly just hoping for great soccer.
I don't care who wins this game.
Sterling? Even if he has a good game, he still sucks.
over/under on how many gimmes that Sterling misses today?
If sterling starts I think he scores. - save for future ridicule if you want. And 3 posts up confirms he is starting.
Cakir is the best in the world IMHO. He should have had the final. Politics kept that from happening.
Sretno, Vatreni!
Noob question, probably discussed a million times ... can this be watched free online?
Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.
I love the walkout.

We did international walkouts the last day of State Cup. It's cool
Fox sports app, but "free" is relative. You use your cable login.
Cakir is right on top of things. All 4 were fouls and he called all of them.
