How many times are we going to hear "And that kick by Schmeichel has gone out of play"

not heard it once to be honest.

I think if you were to make a size to wimp ratio of all footballers in the game, Mario Mandzukic would definitely be amongst the highest ranking.

Pepe and Suarez also.

Modric has been a delight to watch.

He only goes sideways, too lightweight. Avoid...

Abedayor, Kanu, Giroud and Pogba all come to mind

Sarcastic? If serious you've got to be joking cos he always looks to go forward, you can see him looking up constantly when he gets the ball

Yes, it was an Adrien Silva post reference...I hoped it would be obvious, I really should be wiser sometimes.

This could go to pens as well boys and girls. Standby for some Kasper heroics.

Maybe Kasper's kicking the ball too far...?

Or he could fumble a cross before full-time, to the direction of a Croatian player for them to score..

Doubt it during a penalty shoot out.

he'd still get blamed for it despite it being impossible.

Sarcasm came over but not so much the Adrien Silva ref given neither of these teams are Portugal

To be kind to you, Arriba, it is exactly the sort of thing being said in one of the threads about him. But worry not, we disagree often, but not on Modric - absolute class.

let’s hope not Wymeswold. ?

[egg_fried_rice]

I like rebic. He's got that up n at em style. Not the most gifted, but direct and talented nonetheless. Would suit us I think.

[Kitchandro]

Croatia bottling it again here I think. Reminds me of 2 years ago against Portugal when they were a superior side but played crap when they had a great chance of getting to the latter stages.

 

Shades of Euro 2008 and their defeat to Turkey too.

[oxtonfox]

This half of the draw are definitely beatable by England. Oh wait a minute I forgot.... “We’re a young side lacking experience and we will be better in 4 years”.... 

[Countryfox]

 Braithwaite ...    good Danish name that ...   

 

His first name is probably Ragnar ....

[StanSP]

just me that notices Kasper's kicks have been decent, finding the wing-backs fairly well more often than not ?

[Tuna]

Why did Kasper punch it there?
