Congratz , Richard !!!
England is still in it. Croatia is big , fast , strong and seems to come out on the right side of the game every time. England has their hands full in the next game . I believe Belgium is too much for France. MERC

The biggest surprise is, Merc, that it's an all European semi final. Well almost...
England is part of an island off the coast of Europe, but that's a discussion for another time. Both England and Croatia have now played with fire, both having to depend on the hated penalty shoot-out have let the laed go in the closing minutes of stoppage time. Now it gets really interesting. |

So far , with Croatia , the bigger they are , the harder they knock you over.
The smaller , skilled , tricky , and professional divers from Central and South America are all gone from this Cup. I have seen more "diving" in this Cup than I have seen at an Olympic Diving Meet. MERC |

If England wins the world cup they better call out the Royal Marines Rick the Hooligans will go frigging bezerk. Them boys have a few screws loose. Their like the Aussies after a few sips of the devils brew.

The loonies will go ape-shit crazy even if England loses, 4th.
It's guaranteed that trouble will follow no matter what the result. |

The Argentinean fans , which out numbered the Croatian 20 to 1 , jumped the Croatians in the stands in the name of good sportsmanship. If the numbers were a little more even , there would be no way the Argentina fans would have gone near those Eastern Euro gangsters. MERC |

As I said, Merc - England will find a way to lose.
I saw both Croat goals coming seconds before they scored 'em. England haven't learned that you cannot defend a one goal lead for 95% 0f the game with possession football. Fer crissakes, pass the bloody thing FORWARD - kinda like the Croats did. Hoping those small country boys whack the Frogs on Sunday. |

that Croatia would win it all. They looked at me like Bill Maher looked at Ann Coulter when she said Trump would win the GOP and then win the Prez election. Croatia is big , fast , strong , and skilled They play an intimidating , physical game like the Flyers played hockey in the 1970's When they blew Argentina's ass off the field , that was no accident , I said they can win it . They are some bad Eastern Euros. The Frogs are in trouble.. MERC |
