Croatia always a good watch in major tournaments. Their players give everything for the cause.

fair play to Rakitić after scoring that third goal, first thing I would’ve done is find Otamendi, showed real class that

Anyone know the odds at halftime of Croatia winning 3-0 in the CS market ? :)

The more and more I watch each game the more I think we could have a new World Cup winner this year.

If Germany don't fire then it could be Mexico. :)

I hope your right. Of course would rather England win then my bank account. But I’ll take Mexico.

Belgium will be a real test. Beat them, & then I think it's between us & Spain. We deserved to batter the "best side in Africa"!

With more and more teams being added to these tournaments in the future I do wonder if it will produce obscure winners.

Since the age of about 6 seeing England win a World Cup is on the bucket list! Remember crying myself to sleep when I was 8 in Euro 96!!
Not getting my hopes up at all but I beleive England have a genuine 10% chance so far. If they could do that at each tournament i might see them win a World Cup one day.

More rounds = more chances to be knocked out. FA cup shows that. Cream rises.

More bad news for Messi and Argentina after tonight's 3-0 defeat by Croatia. #CRO coach Zlatko Dalic confirms he'll rest players and make numerous changes for their final group game against Iceland.

I think Croatia would have to be careful, if they put out a so called "Second Team" and Argentina protest then FIFA could step in.

Although I am not sure what they would/could actually do apart from fining them or maybe kicking them out of the tournament.

I know there are rules around Premier League teams who put out "Second Teams" if it could possibly mean another team got relegated etc.

I wish FIFA would have stepped in and had a word about all the 'second teams' and non triers England have been fielding for the last 20yrs :)

This lot look handy though.

Surely if you're qualified you can do whatever you like

Imagine if Argentina and Germany both get knocked out in the group stages :P
