England vs Croatia predictions

[PorkPie]

1-1Don't listen to the numpty nay-sayers from down here snaw, any team that finishes in the top two of their group deserves to be there - it's how leagues work.

Furthermore, no-one else has kept nine clean sheets in eleven games so far, we have only let in four (only Holland and France have conceded less), and two of those were flukes to say the least.

An average of two goals scored per game is quite healthy too. And all achieved with an extraordinary series of injuries to our best players!

Of course if England do lose tonight and go out, and they might, then they don't deserve to be there. But right now, there are no grounds whatsoever for people to say that.

Fair enough, but I'll stick to my original statement - I think in a twisted way it'd be good for England not to qualify, primarily they'd get rid of a tulipe manager and secondly it might be the kick up the arse needed to start asking some serious questions about decades of underperforming, and maybe starting to address the 'why'.

BTW Those stats would have been exactly the same if Israel hadn't scored an incredibly flukey (i.e. In the against the run of play sense) goal in the last minute of the Game against Russia etc. Statistics are kinda meaningless without context.

Whatever floats your boat! Getting stung to get a hotdog wouldn't do anything for me. Remeber to unzip your gimp mask before you try to eat it.

I'm not going so expect a 10-0 England win.

Instead I'm checking down the back of the sofa for a couple of CD's.

Be a Darling and help me lift this cushion will you....

What sport is it?

[TheFaQQer]

I think they'll concede at least one goal tonight...
