Croatia vs Ingerland -5.00

You'd have to be a brave man or a fool to back England @1.77

Ok im all in

I wonder if Unders might be worth a shot at 2.34. England didn't look particularly good, even with Czechs down to 10 men. And Croatia not the expansive team they were a few years ago. I don't think another 4-2 type score is on the cards.

KICK OFF-ITV

Mind you, if the keeper does things like that, I might be proved wrong.

Why quansah again..

Gordon 1 shot on target landed

0-1

poor defending

well that was an early night kane/gordon 1 SOT each 6 to 4

Unders off the Menu, I think. Croatia look terrible.

The crowd sounds like it's mostly made up of teenage girls

stroll in the park so far, but need another goal

there it is

Sensational

Should've been 3.

Croatia playing like traffic cones.

Never mind Croatian teens, Gordon's hairstyle is barely legal.

Croatia are awful
Backed any other away score, just topped up again at evens
Can see this being 5 or 6

probably should be that already, tbh.

Yep...should have added...5 or 6 if England can be bothered
These games have a habit of petering out when victory assured, with lots of subs

Kane will bother

This is child abuse

What are the odds The Channel Islands would produce 3 England Internationals in 30 years? 

Really liking the Anderson/Scott pivot in central midfield

Said that 1 second before Anderson messed up

what a miss

Black shuck...why quansah again..maybe that's why..doh

Time for Modric to leave the stage.

Dear me Carnage for Croatia

schoolkids will be walking out at this rate.

Scoreline hides the fact England's defence has been shocking.

Well done Reg.  Nailed before HT.  Be a different game 2nd half

Its the GORDON SHOW
0-4

movement and passing been as good as I've seen from England

Croatia are so bad England look fantastic.

jeez you England fans are a hard lot to please 4-0 up could have been 8
and moaning about the defence... who have been untroubled but for one slack ball

As bad as Croatia have been, England have been tremendous.

Gordon missed two sitters which is a worry

Saka did nt pass the ball first time which is a worry

WOW

ome lady just tweeted england are 3up

If England had any decency they would let croatia score at least two for the kids

1 more to land the -5 in fred title

Kane Bellers Gordon Saka are a decent front 4

Keepers Collapsed

Awful miss saka for them on over 6.5 goals.

Engerland have broken betfair,..

C R A S H

6 goals 6 assists.  All goals from open play.  Not often you see that.

7 up

M A G N I F I C E N T

Love the mumsnet-style message while people are sitting with open positions and a 175 pulse.

Back soon

We’re quickly pausing Betfair while we bring you a smoother experience.

Come back soon and we’ll see you then.

Best in running game for me for a while, kept going higher on goals
Just hope they don't void any in play markets with the crash

What
EXPERIENCE?

Had some voided on other games.

Hope it sticks for you on this game,Reg.

Cheers, yhtl...did all my bets pre half time so should be OK...posted on this thread, not aftertiming...had a few decent bets, for me anyway

As I said earlier,  Croatia so bad, like a non league team, if that

Just looked, all bets settled...
Just told the missus to get her coat, we're going out to eat...anything off the set menu, obviously

not sure if there was VAR tonight but beatibg VAR 7 nil is a far  better effort than beating croatia 7 nil

1tp...I thought the ref tonight was brilliant, the best I've seen for a while...was letting the game flow, letting good old fashioned tackles go. Not blowing up for every small thing

Nice one Reg.

Looked as if Croatia defence shot themselves
on foot dropping deep on wrong side of pitch so engerland front 4 could run wherever they wanted with almost zero chance of being offside.

Yhtl...Croatia were just so poor in every department, I don't want to take away from England doing OK, but I genuinely think that Croatia tonight would have lost to Gibraltar or Andorra
They were just second best, slow, clueless

...anything off the set menu, obviously

Reminds me of the Royle family when Jim is going out. 'Get yer coat Barb!', Why, you taking me with you?, 'No, I'm turning the gas fire off!'

Millridge, I'm not made of money...
But we'll finish off with a couple of drinks in Spoons
I know how to treat my women

Enjoy!

to quote del boy to rodders
croatia supplied the school kids, england suplied  the 7 UP

BORO legacy game tomorrow sold out, looking forward to watching a game with no pressure on and the little fella produce a bit of magic,BORO just dont do big testimonial/charity match crowds ,should be a good day, walk on role from ravenelli had a bad leg break apparently few yrs ago

Ironopolis was always a brilliant name so I'll be cheering them on, (from safety of forum) should be a brilliant day 1tp,i love
that sort of stuff, wolfman to score the winner!

i used to drink in the IRO NOPOLIS club before/after game since boro,s 1st game a THE t RIVERSIDE, but i also used to go in THE ERIMUS pub in cleveland centre for a few games of ool before hitting the town back in the day so conflicted
both now gone,THE ERIMUS long gone

Excellent performance from England this evening. 7-0 away from home and yes Croatia are on a poor streak of form, but all you can do is beat them and we didn't, we thrashed them. England still need to find a way to defend better, because a better side, as Spain showed us last week can outscore us. If we cand do that this England team can look forward to a few successful years (hopefully)

Croatia v Spain on Tuesday...
Spain 1.4....after tonight that is a gift

thats why gordon was subbed now on bbc 2 singing YOUNG AT HEART with THE BLUEBELLS

England were very good, Croatia abysmal. You can never read anything into victories like this. England have been great at trouncing poor teams in qualifiers since the Hodgson days and this is below that level. Big team in KO matches at the 2 majors is the only barometer for how good England are and the last one was even worse than Croatia or Italy in terms of capitulation and I think even Tuchel was surprised at that.

It's easy to be very good against an abysmal side.

Croatia were poor on the night but are not a poor side.  Should've beaten a very fortunate Portugal in the WC only four games ago.  Never been out of League A in the NL and their WR of 13 was probably about right, although after that performance you'd be thinking it will drop

England were outstanding on the night but it's only 1 game.  XG was over 6 and all the goals came from open play.
