I'm watching in Japanese. Seems we have Hurricane and Starling playing up front! I was watching in Poland...it all sounds like a load of bees in a hive then suddenly "Shzz, shzz...Alan Mullery zzz Martin Peters"!

Just seen the clip of the semi final v Germany in Turin at Italia 90. Still gets to me, Bobby Robson crestfallen, Gazza's tears, we should have won that.
Make sure it doesn't fucking happen again !

This next game's going to be important. Hope Croatia can do it. They're Sweden, plus or minus. The Final beckons. You must be joking. Modric and Racatic are probably the best two midfielders in the world and a very high quality front 3. Absolutely nothing like Sweden but I must admit they haven't shown their best yet. Russia can't possibly beat them - can they?

Croatia are far better than Russia or Sweden
If Russia somehow manage to sporn their way through tonight then we will have a semi final even easier than that doddle of a quarter final we just navigated
Croatia would be a real 50-50 game. I wouldn't put any money on predicting that one

Wow! World cup semi final 😁
Well done boys, I wouldn't have predicted that at the start of the tournament.
Come on Russia!

I was there in 1990...turned to Fountain (well-known to many of you likely lads) and said "enjoy this, you may never see the like again". Well, i was wrong about Town going to the Prem as well. Sell your grandmother and get to Moscow...this is a once in a lifetime event.

Don't want Russia. At the risk of alarming the conspiracy theorists I suspect we wouldn't get a decision against them. Too much pressure on the officials.
Putin is loving the ride won't want it to stop!

I never thought I'd say this but here goes. We look like we could win this thing. I still think there's more to come, everyone seems to know what they are doing and we are able to play differently depending on the opposition. It also looks like the players and backroom staff believe it too. Wow! I think we have a very good chance of making the final, no matter who wins tonight. If we get to the final, we will obviously have a chance, but if I was a betting man I'd fancy whoever wins the France v Belgium semi. I think those teams have more quality than we do. That said, as an Englishman I am very happy with our progress so far. You can only beat what's put in front of you, and England have done that. We should be confident of reaching the final if we play well in the semi. The final will be a much tougher prospect, but we'll worry about that later.

Putin is loving the ride won't want it to stop! Think the Russkies deserve a fair amount of credit. I thought it would be an organisational disaster, but they have put on an excellent show in a good atmosphere and some great matches on good pitches in excellent stadia.

My best few years watching football, town getting promoted to the premier league then staying there & England in the world cup semis for only the second time in my lifetime.
We don't know how lucky we are!

Modric will be found out (again)

You know you've won a World Cup quarter final when you are 2 up and they bring on a defender from the bottom half of the 2nd division.

I'd have never have guessed when Russia were awarded the world cup that we'd have 4 players in the tournament & Leeds 1. How times have changed. By the time the season starts, who knows, we might have more.

Is it just me or does the sound volume vary often goes quite quiet, needs some attention there after a few bottles of wine, for a few seconds seems moreso on ITV than BBC or is it just me?

Fantastic result today,I criticised Sterling earlier in the competition ,he was superb today and deserved his inclusion in the England Team (apologies Sterling). We seem to be maturing with every game , which is very exiting , come on England. The last time I watched England in the semi's I was island hopping in the Greek islands , the weather though is hotter in Batley in this competition .
