No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

much better from croatia there

yup

So glad I'm not watching this.

xxxxpost those were missed calls yea but I Think the officiating has mostly been fine - no "No Era penal" bullshit, just the one Geiger match

support for everything pickford doesin this bar is so intense, he has won the hearts of the people

I just want an equaliser to make this interesting - tuned in after the goal last night too.

missed foul there on England

ugghhjjjesseee

england players committed to not scoring again

xpost lol i hate when that happens yea

ffs

I feel like if England doesn't get their 2nd by the 60 minute mark, they're not getting another.

Is it just us but that pitch looks small?

they shrunk it on request from Southgate

Pickford and Walker have a defensive calamity in them but I can’t see England not scoring again.

How long before ilx joins everyone else in being charmed by this genuinely likeable England campaign

Just after half-time will be eng's best op and then they'll try and hold onto this. xp

lol sv otm

lovren is atrocious and must be kept away from the final at all costs

Croatia have been atrocious in general tbh

England the better side by a distance. Comfortable, really

Croatia look out of ideas

walker and pickford "just got casual for a second"

i feel sick

Lol @ hoddle forgetting how to pronounce 'naivety' and saying 'naiveness' instead

hey let's throw pints in the air
then jump on an ambulance

ad for... blockchain?!?

how do eng look better by a distance? One free kick, no patience on the ball and relying on Sterling to run and make something. He doesn't.

bcz CRO look bad

^^gets it

come on man. Kane missed a sitter and Lingard a very presentable chance too

Croatia have done nothing

tactic for eng is clearly to get the ball forward more quickly than in previous games, which does seem to be producing something in the way of results but is helping to keep the game frenetic and somewhat nerve-wracking. wouldn't mind a less variance-inviting approach in the second half since cro don't seem to have brought too many ideas of their own on 1st half evidence

I was thinking "We're not getting any of this" re the commentary.

Of course not, we're in ibiza

Croatia have bumbled through the last two rounds I'm not sure why people were expecting more of them tonight.

Beating Colombia/Sweden vs. beating Denmark/Russia. Not much in it.

It's not chess they're playing lol

More seriously..

I'd say England are trying to make Croatia run a lot.

If Eng don't score in the first 15 they'll lose.

wc2018 grim resignation thread

Brexit, Trump, now this.

Ref certainly not in Croatia's favour

COME ON LADS

tbf rebic has been running around kicking people the whole game

would hate to be england in this situation. croatia have to be favourites.

feel like there's gonna be a backpass goal in this one

american commentators sure do love to call the england team by their beloved and extremely often used nickname "the three lions".

gettin testy

uh oh guys SET PIECE

Oh shit, I’ve bookmarked this by accident, on a phone :-(((

"people don't watch football any more, they're too busy taking pictures"

If only they could be talking shit about football on ITV instead.
