I'm confident we'll win this, 3-1 Not underestimating Croatia but I think we have grown into the tournament and got stronger, our organisation and threat at set pieces will be too much for them Here we go....

Believe we are more than capable however I see this as fifty - fifty. Without doubt Croatia have a better midfield however I believe we more than match them in other departments. Come on boys!

Defence? England fragile at the back. We will win... just. And it will be a much better match than last night.

Truthfully fancy Croatia to win. Some quality players and will pack the midfield forcing us to play long ball. Southgate would need to change formations in my opinion. I hope England win but suspect heartache is on the way.

Same as watching Palace. Hope to win but expect it to be close. We have exceeded expectations so no pressure (although the same could be said for Croatia).
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Croatia vastly superior to Sweden in attack. Which suggests, say, 6 worldy saves to keep em out. And how many times have our defence been caught dithering?

And how many times have our defence been caught dithering? I remember one worldy and a few other routine stops, from some speculative long range efforts. You make it sound like Sweden were peppering our goal with shots and we were under serious pressure. You must have been watching a different game to me then I haven't seen any dithering either, a team that can't defend doesn't get to a world cup semi

Ive been pretty calm so far but today I can feel the nerves. Whatever the result the lads will put their heart and soul into it and we can't ask anymore. I final would be truly unbelievable, it is on unlucky ITV though
The ups and downs of Palace have left me older than my years |
