Likely line-ups
Average age if those line ups were correct, Croatia average age 29.6, England 26.5
This game will be like a young stud against an ageing lothario. Croats play for good looking teams but they've seen better days.
England should edge this game by the odd goal, roof closed, air conditioned, 22 degrees expected in stark contrast to the 100+ degrees outside with the feels like temperature.
Apparently venues used later on in the knockouts wont have air conditioning and will be open air Stadia. Good time to play a passing side like the Croats now.
Kind Regards.

To many at the same time, if I was an England fan I would be worried, it got to easy. Maybe if Croatia go for it another goal come either way.. would not bet it mind.
Emma would keep you nice and warm throughout those long, hard, cold winters

Why do we never play in red shirts, most successful and historic sides in England play in red, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Forest. White in England is associated with Tottenham and failure.We won the World Cup in 66 in red.
I know this is a wind-up attempt but Forest and Arse are nowhere near the level of Man Utd and Liverpool historically. 
Wish they would stop playing that tune, keep thinking darts is on.
The bigger question is whether Carrick is a Rashford whisperer
commentators know for definite what was said at ht apparently, yeah right

comes out with some real ***** as well. 'he just might keep it in' when anybody with eyes could see there was no chance at all of the ball being kept in

Bet baby bet.
She is a good pundit, the reason for the contempt is because of the comment she made after the Cape Verde match against Spain, where she said the result was a good result for immigration, the forum and twitter in particular went into a mini meltdown

no mention just now about that. comment was she knows nothing about football
have you seen matterface uptheirons. hes no oil painting
Never mind about "dad's army".
This is a respectable performance, I think.

They don't believe that though that's the point, she's the US national manager with a FIFA A license, she knows more about tactics than most.
Matterface had Prime Natalie Sawyer, must have an amazing personality off camera
this is the best opening performance of any team for me so far

Agree, and actually, I like her.
when you think about some of the absolutely rotten performances from the likes of spain and the swiss
tbh eric ive got nothing but respect for her. doing that piece to camera she will have known she was making herself a target and did it anyway.
Argentina was a far more complete performance, we've won a chaotic game

Agreed. He is so boring I wonder if his dad is standing in the election tomorrow, Count Binface.
enjoyable game. Didn't get the score right this time, but England win and Kane scoring is fine.
never mind the score anyway. its the intent that youve got to be enthused by. they really went for it. imagine if hodgson was still in charge how that match would have went
Long time Mega that I have seen 16 shots on target in a match where on paper they was not much between them.
exactly alien. odds wise thats better than the argentina match. they were supposed to dominate. england werent
Beat Ghana then play the reserves in the last group game, Toney, Watkins, Henderson, etc
Tuchel half time boll***ing that Southgate never gave but does have a shelf life...
What we, and everyone else, learnt tonight is England's defence aren't world cup winners.

Surprised that Roy is praising the players, they were just doing their job.
No yellow cards ? 
after that first game refs seem to have forgotten they have cards in their pocket

Think I will give the Uzbek match the swerve, playing football in the morning.

Gabriel Clarke is 62 i believe, looking more like Nigel Havers every year.
NEV looks angry all the time, all the work and business he has, about time he gave other a chance.
Excellent performance from England and we actually played with passion and desire to play for the country and its supporters. We beat Croatia and they are a darn good side and a very hard one to beat. There was movement off the ball and every player seemed to give it everything and a 4-2 victory was quality and sets us up to win the group, but we have 2 more games to play in it and if we can win the next game, he may be able to rest a few players and give others a game, but we must win the group. Others will be scared of us on this evenings performance, unfortunatly its not how we start the competition, but how we end it.
Noticed he looked really gaunt when doing the pre match discussion thing with Dixon on the half way line, either unwell or has an eating disorder.
Clarke's dad Alan was a renowned tv and film director, the forum will no doubt be familiar with one for his most controversial plays - Scum 
Croatia are bang average (no peak Radicic,Modric,Perisic here)...

As Platini once said about the English, we're Lions in the winter, Lambs in the Spring. Kind Regards.

I haven't got a clue I only heard that rehashed comment recently on radio
well we battered he and his team so should prolly stfu...
Platini is a French Nationalist, he's left a long smattering trail of Anti English comments over the years, including talking about trying to take away our number of spots for European places at club level when he was UEFA president.
Saw Scum on VHS as a kid in the 90's, thinking this 18 rated film would be full of violence, a bit of swearing etc, but then there was that rape scene, had to skip through that, goes to show you how depraved prisoners are they're bumming inmates when ordinarily they'd lamp a man touching them on the outside.

he seemed to C** remarkably quickly - for bumming an ugly lad... artistic licence I suppose..will defer to die linke..
NEV.....Bellingham speaks well etc compared to your Manky accent, anyone would.
"Others will be scared of us on this evenings performance" Simply no balance.

clearly england have to play that attacking style as we are gonna struggle to keep a clean sheet if we persist with konsa and stones , god only knows why ghuehi didnt start , is he carrying an injury?im no madueke fan but thought he did well. anderson is the complete midfielder in my view. i so enjoyed how we attack i fear for our back 4.i think we are going to have to score more goals than the other teams rather than concede fewer.
Anderson definitely is not a complete midfielder, he's a decent defensive midfielder who had a big hand in giving away their first goal.
as for emmas analysis , as enfield and whitehouse say"get the bloke love , we talk about football to the bloke love , two sugars
she's being set up to fail with that...the lads would run a mile..she understands modern football a lot better than most frankly..
Looked like Emma Hayes was doing her 'analysis' from a kitchen so why was she drawing on a chalkboard instead of making a round of sandwiches for the crew?
Bellingham was excellent. Long time since I've seen him cover so much ground.
It was a good performance.
Too early to be talking about who England meet in the final.
The penalty was a gift and Rashford's goal was two England players were againt one Croatia defender.
England are a strong running team but playing in heat might take away the advantage.
I though Pickford was a bit below standard.
Tuchel will probably find his best eleven by the time they get to the knock-out stages.
