WORLD CUP 2018 - Semi Final - Croatia v England - 11th July, 19:00 - Live on ITV

If the English forward line plays as well as it could, they'll walk this.

If Modric and Rakitic get a grip of midfield - furgeddaboutit.

Ergo: penalties.

ITV again FFS, I know England have defied the curse thus far but......

That Croatia strip

Like a strawberry battenburg cake, which doesn't exist FOR GOOD REASON

Croatia's kit is fabulous

They're wearing their away kit tomorrow though.

England should wear red and white tbh, there's no navy blue in the England flag.

All of which necessitates a popular decree: following the shithousery of the past 24 hours, no Conservatives, at all, are now allowed to attempt to piggyback on the success (or indeed the plucky failure) of the England football side. They are formally banned from even mentioning it. Tories: you all need to realise that this latest self-own is of a wildly different order to Theresa May being tricked into holding up the Hazard Belgium shirt during her visit to Brussels the other week. Sorry to nick your catchphrase, but let US be clear: if you guys collapse the government in the week England could reach its first World Cup final since 1966 – having already diary-clashed Donald Trump’s visit into that same week – you will carry a mark of Cain that will make all of your other marks of Cain look like henna tattoos.

I mean, honestly. Shame on the politicians looking at this sweltering hot, heady summer of football and thinking: “Ooh, this would totally be enhanced by a general election”. Really? REALLY? Let us be very clear: stay away from Gareth and stay out of our fun.

No blue in the Italian or Japanese flags
No white in the German flag
No orange in the Dutch flag

etc.

Wasnt they the colors of the government or something?

Germany were forced to play in white as part of the Potsdam agreement iirc.

Orange is the colour of the Dutch royal family and blue's the colour of the Italian one (House of Savoy)

White is the colour of the flag NoFun's grandad waved when his camp was liberated.

(ripip).

Desperate for Rashford to score the late goal that takes England into the final. If not, I hope they go down in flames.
