@divegeester saidOne of Belgium's three goals against Russia was surely offside, no? They said it was VAR-checked [which I did not see] but it looked plainly offside.
Congratulations to Wales for holding the Swiss to a draw; excellent effort and a great result for them.

It will be a cagey game and I’m worried we will lose because we lack confidence in the big tournaments. Nevertheless I predict 2-1 to England.

@the-gravedigger saidI agree. Could very easy go either way.
I think Croatia will give England a tough game this afternoon.
Any thoughts ?

@the-gravedigger saidCroatia are a bunch of players mostly a little bit too old to be still playing. I reckon the young, fit England side will score twice in the last half an hour and that will be all that'd needed to secure the win.

@the-gravedigger saidCroatia will always be a good side as Modric doesn't age like normal people. We always get carried away after qualifying games against minnows. Against Croatia I would take a draw.

@fmf saidI missed it all I’m afraid, as I’m away at the coast with Mrs divegeester and watching football isn’t on the agenda for some reason.

@fmf saidCroatia played Czech Republic in St Etienne in Euro 2016. I was already down there for our game against Slovakia so I bought a ticket on the street. Incredibly passionate crowd. Still have that newly formed country energy.

Some countries have players with such strong club loyalties their national squads take a while to gel. Some are more passionate about their national team. Croatia is one of those.

@relentless-red saidYou saw them five years ago. That's good. They probably peaked at the 2018 World Cup. Word is, they are not what they once were. I hope it's true because I'd like to see England have a good run in this tournament.
