tulip Didn't watch the Scotland game, watched Germany v Switzerland, as the more interesting option. Pretty even match I'd say and Germany definitely beatable by whoever gets to play them next.


No Germany will learn from this and come back stronger to win the tournament.

Yet the combined wisdom is that England won’t
I guess that’s just how it is

What the actual oxf*rd is going on with the accent of the woman commentating on Croatia vs Italy.

It's like Russell Crowe doing Robin Hood.

The best thing that could happen to England is that they do draw a top top side and get that belief by winning. I can't remember England at any major World Cup or Euros beating a really fancied side. They beat Germany in the last Euros but they weren't very good or fancied......Last time I think was 82 v France when Bryan Robson produced the best performance I've ever seen in an England shirt.

The second save was unreal. Such quick hands.

Would quite enjoy Croatia making it to the Final and having to play it with no fans because they keep letting off flares.

They've been so dominant, but can't get a shot.

Quite funny

That's a quality finish with less than 60 seconds to go

Wow. Great finish but Croatia's hard work meant they were deserving of the three points.

So many very late goals in this tournament. It's not over until it's over, obviously.

All it took was midfield just being slightly slow, then a desperate lunge out to cover from full back, avoided and they've left a gaping hole for a wonderful curled effort right in the corner.

Just keep your shape and energy for another 10 seconds and you're good.

This makes Italy very dangerous now. The worst sort of Italy to play against are a slow starting Italy, they've got that knackered of sneaking through despite being a bit shit.

Reckon they'll beat whoever they are playing next.
