Really, it looked like nobosy truly wanted to win this match. At least, the Swiss showed some resolve and motivation, they put all their guts in the final minutes, for the sake of honour (well, it backfired, but the Swiss didn't have much to lose anyway by taking the risk)


We wanted to win alright, but we can't really play much better than this. This is not actually the best generation Croatian football ever had. To tell the truth, they are a bunch of incompetent malaki. They have no imagination.

But they held very well against Chirac's minions! Could have won and the second French goal is still discussed here. But anyway it is past now. I'm somewhat pleased, not by the result but by our play which showed signs that this team will one day mature to perfect the beautiful Croatian tradition of destructive football

NOT SO FAST!


Here's my prediction of the game.

35'
Croatia leads 1:0 in the first half, from a penalty, corner or some such. I don't expect us to score from the play

Thus ends the first half.

English press on in the second half, gradually losing patience.

65'
Rooney gets a red card from a very disputable situation. By this time Croatia already have five or six yellow cards. English patients on the stadium lose - patience.

Game crawls to a halt with frequent fouls. A fight almost erupts between players when a Croatian defender kicks Beckham in the groin, apparently for no reason. Referee didn't see it.

75'
Owen scores the goal for 1:1

English press on, Croats defend.

85'
Another red card for England, this time for Beckam.

Croatian replacements, more attackers (Olic probably)

89'
Olic scores for 2:1

Portugese police increase presence around the stadium.

92'
As the last English attack fails, crowds of islanders start to demolish Lisabon.

Croats couldn't care less

And just so I don't forget, there is historical background.

Britain is traditionally unfriendly as a nation to Croatia, this goes back to before WWII and continues to this day (UK plays the bad cop in our EU negotiations).

But not entire UK is the enemy ofcourse we respect the Scots and I saw a poll that says 70% of them will root for Croatia come monday so this is mutual.

I've never met a Scot who doesn't want England to lose. Don't feel special.

PA: Scholes hasn't scored in 3 years, he's unlikely to get 2.

I reckon we'll beat Croatia 2-1, then Greece 1 or 2 nil, with goals by Rooney and Beckham. Who would we have in the semi's then? Netherlands or Italy (most likely)? Netherlands, Italy, England and either France or Portugal in the semis would make for some pretty interesting results

"PA: Scholes hasn't scored in 3 years, he's unlikely to get 2."

The other argument is that he is due some goals...

He's my bet for leading goalscorer in the tournament (66/1 was value). He can go on fire any moment, so long as Eriksson releases the chains...

I doubt it. His shooting hasn't been great, and he doesn't get the up-front ball that Owen and Rooney get. I doubt he'll get more than 1 or 2 all tournament, at the most. Rooney would have been a goodbet for top scorer, I've seen 25/1 for him. I'd say Henry or Van Nislerooy are most likely, but there odds aren't good.

They'll come on as subs at least. Much as Greece are a lesser team than any other team we could be facing, we still need to make sure we win. I think a couple of minutes will be enough for Beckham to curl it into the back of the Greek net again, and then we can just relax and cruise to the semis
