They’ll be humbled after Croatia destroys them.

There aren’t any Wimpy’s restaurants in Croatia for Croat fans to trash. Maybe a few Mini car dealerships?

“They’ll be humbled after Croatia destroys them.”

Well, gator, One would have thought so but after the crap performance against Russia today; it’s not clear this Croatia team might have their hands full with Saudi Arabia.

They didn’t put much together against Russia and they didn’t match up well in the air but that was no excuse for the muddled mess in midfield most of the game.

Luka Modric didn’t look like a guy who wanted the ball and to control the game for the most part. He got pretty lucky when his partially blocked penalty hit the post and went in at the end of time.

England, on the other hand, seems to be hitting some cylinders especially with their forwards controlling a lot of the action earlier. They have some talent up front to control the ball combined with pace.

This game ain’t in Croatia’s favor any longer since they were spent mentally and physically with that extra 30 minutes of overtime IMHO.

Still like Belgium but that will be a close one with France next week. Their pace up front and power is exceptional.

Not so sure about that, but it’ll be a good game.

Croatia are coming off of two consecutive 120 minute games. I’d be surprised if they don’t run out of gas.
