[P+R] Croatia vs. England

[dannyeli]

I can see Croatia win this. But i think it would be a draw.

 

[ando_hearts]

I would go for a 3-1 win for England ,with Rooney to score twice

 

[Eng4WorldCup]

im going with 2-1
beckham, owen, prso to get one back

England will go through. whether it be by draw or a win, they're going through.

i predict England winning it 3-1

Owen
Rooney
Gerrard
--------------
Prso

As usual dickhead views of Hooligans in here! Owen struggeling to have an impact although nice pass for Rooney. So will Owen start?

I think 2-0 to England with
Lampard 1
Scholes 1 to get of his goaless run.

[edit] oh and why would we wanna draw? France could throw their next match on perpose so we don't make it?
Don't wanna play for a draw anyway

C'MON ENGLAND!!!

Pretty nervous about this one but i think we'll do it. 3-2 ....

 

[Groogster]

I´ll put my money on England but if Croacia plays like they did in the 2nd half against France, then anything can happen.

 

[Haukur Gudnason]

Zdravo!


Go Croatia!


Do videnja!


Hvala!

England are going to win this one no doubt. Croatia troubled France so much because of that old fart Desailly, and Silvestre. I'm sure if England get some passing together, they can win.

2-0 to England.

Yea, the only other time was when they hosted it.

No. We got to the semi final in 1968.

Oh I heared that we haven't passed the league stage outside of England before.
Best was 96 when we hosted it and lost to Germany in the semi??
Comintator has it wrong then?

"England have never won the European Championship or even reached the final match. They have had some success in only two of the 10 tournaments they entered before the 2004 edition. Twice they have finished third. At the 1968 final tournament in Italy, they lost to Yugoslavia, 2-1, in the semifinals and beat the U.S.S.R., 2-0, in the third-place match. At the 1996 final tournament on home soil, they fell to Germany on penalty kicks after a 1-1 extra-time draw and, since the consolation match had been shelved, shared third place with France as beaten semifinalists."

The England - France game was not a knockout game....this one is....I think that if England scores first, the game will be reduced to a defensive bore. If Croatia scores first, then England will come at them full tilt to get the equaliser that they need and that will make for a more interesting match.

Less that 48 hours to go.....

 

[Lean]

Come on England!

 

[chatterbox]

I want to see England in the quarters cause it would make for a more interesting matchup I feel...that' s my opinion anyhow !

I've got 2 players from their squad in my fantasy side, plus i like EPL, so i'll support them. Steve will give the Croatians the runaround.
