world Cup Semi final : Croatia v England , discussion

England v Sweden was like a premier side taking on a lower championship side , we bossed it without getting out of second gear but Croatia will be a whole new level with players like Modric (R Madrid ) Racitic (Barca) Mandzukic (juve) Kovacic (R Madrid )
Pericic (Inter) all top players at very big clubs , will their midfield be too strong for us ? Or will our 3/5 at the back prove too hard for them to brake down ?
Croatias midfield took Argentina apart and for me this is where the game will be decided , how should we approach the game to combat their midfield ?

Midfield is strong... right back is decent... left back is ok... Mandzukic will be a threat... But their centre backs look a bit slow and cumbersome. Trippier will get some space agaist their L/B... Kane should get a chance or two. Get Henderson to sit on Modric.

For me the deciding factor could easily be fitness.

Croatia have some talented players but they are all into their 30's and have just played two extremely challenging games in short succession going the full distance. They looked absolutely shattered and you can't underestimate the cumulative affect of playing the two sets of ET and pens add in the mental exhaustion.

Compared to a rather young and fit England squad, who although had extra time and pens in the round of 16 then followed up with a comfortable and mentally positive win over Sweden. Playing 120 minutes over a week ago is decent fitness work, doing it twice is going to tire the body - as evidenced by the Croatians dropping like flies during extra time vs Russia!

I fancy this to be a key factor the longer it goes on. Most important thing for me is we don't let anything get away from us early on and I think we have been strongest earlier in games more often than not.

Don't concede early and test their weakness at set pieces, we all know our strength there. Fitness yes, but also look at the strength of the benches. Just hope we can get our subs to make the difference when called upon.

Agree with that. We should be fitter, but they are probably technically better.

We need to fill the centre of the park.

Henderson can be a little deep protecting the defence and Sterling and Lindgard can be a little too far forward.

Important we have the right shape when we don't have the ball.

So will most of the crowd. Such a stupid ****. He'll be lucky to get out alive. Hes basically given us victory. I actually think we could win relatively easily on Wednesday. They are better than Sweden on paper, but two nerve shredding 120 minute matches plus penalties, plus all the travel, must take its toll. I know England have had one marathon, but i fancy Croatia will be like Man City at Selhurst in December, only not as good. Hope so anyway.

They are a decent team but failed to beat Russia and Denmark will find it hard to stay the distance after two tough games, get the first goal and they may crumble. My bet is 3-0 or 3-1 England.

You couldn’t move on the bbs for England team knockers only a couple of months ago. So many stating how little interest that had in England. Usually the holier than thou “i’m A better palace fan than you” lot as well.
I hope they are doing the honourable thing and not acting like johnny come latelies during this World Cup!

Last time he was in Moscow he watched Chelsea lose on penalties to Man U in the same stadium. Hope he has better luck this time

Same here. Thats still a lot of wedge to fork out for one match. He could have fixed his hair for that. He must be England daft. Personally im nowhere near as bothered as when we went to the cup final say, but its still impossible to be English and not feel a bit excited, even without Wilf starting every game. I guess im just mainly hoping Vida gets a proper kicking and England get a shot at Belgium (or France).

I’m quite happy to admit that I’d prefer Palace to avoid relegation than England win the World Cup. I won’t NOT cheer England on but I have 45 years of emotional capital invested in Palace. I just don’t have anything like that with England.

Could be a 'Spurs Brother' who will now claim it was Spurs who won it, even though all they can manage (Spurs) is a semi, hehe
