Will the Southampton of international football ( Croatia), not quite the fading force, people think, overcome the Birmingham of world football, Canada, trying to emerge from their neighbour's shadows.?

Wasn't expecting it that quickly.

The control from the midfielder in the build up was sublime.

The lad who set up the goal, Buchanan, he’s having a good tournament. Plays like a proper old fashioned right winger. Always keen to take on his marker. Crosses early and accurately.

It's never just 'Davies'. It's always 'Alphonso Davies'.

At least it’s not Alphonso.

You know, like Trent.

Harvey Barnes springs to mind. And btw Keown is so clueless it’s embarrassing

Keown is a cock.

Commentator talking about players going to world cups and not getting on the pitch. Asks Keown as it happened to him.

So far offside. Put the flag up. Now they can say Croatia had a goal disallowed for offside :thdn:

At least we won’t have to see his scalp today as he’s not one of the studio pundits.

I don't know why Csnada sat back. Their strength is going forwards, I get what they are trying to do, but they are nor the not greatest defensively
