But of a non story given it doesn't say how many tops they had in stock, could have been 5 Croatian tops could be 100, I would bet nearer 5, How many England tops have sold in Glasgow?. 

Just newspaper nonsense.

It's good to see folk getting excited, I wish it was Scotland.

 

But, I would advise not expect the same amount of support, enthusiasm etc:    across the whole  board!

 

Do Uruguay support the likes of Argentina/ Brazil Columbia over other teams? Genuine question, as I know Brazil/ Argentina like to see each other humped in football.

 

I reckon you'll win tonight as well, it won't make me sad or angry... just disappointed.:laugh:

 

 

Doesn’t the whole of South America like to see Argentina getting absolutely humped? Something to do with their Italian connections?

I clicked the link and scrolled down. I came to a piece about shops in Glasgow running out of Croatia shirts, and being unable to meet demand for more.

 

I get the whole England-Scotland rivalry. I feel it too.

 

But spending £40+ on a foreign shirt cos they are playing against England in a one-off game? 

Croatia shirts are smart anyway. Win win for me ?

Croatia are officially the home team yet Fifa have forced them to wear their blue and black strip.

Not really much that can be done when both of England's kits would clash with the Croatia him kit. It's not all that rare an occurrence. Not really worth getting upset about.

A market for a 3rd kit opens...

I’ll say this - the whole pride/progress stuff is well over the top. England played one good side and lost to them. Was great fun but this is being turned into some against the odds adventure. It really wasn’t

Oh they did. From half time onwards they were excellent, especially considering they were 1-0 down

Can enjoy my weekend in Manchester now ?

Had 15 quid on England to win the Cup though.

Would have won 250 notes.

Don't give a xxxx

England didn't create enough, and the best team on the night won. A bit of a damp squib for England from half time onwards, if I'm honest.

 

Now let's hope Croatia can carry it on and win their first World Cup.

 

They had no plan B and had no idea what to do when Croatia stepped it up a gear. It’s no surprise that both the good teams they’ve came up against have beat them.

 

Some totally over-rated players in that team who looked badly out of their depth tonight, especially Alli and Lingaard.

 

Not a surprise in the slightest.

Not just that, but they are all saying that they can't wait for 2 years or the next World cup in 4 as this team will be better.

 

What they aren't taking into account is that England will never get an easier route to any final in any competition as they have had this time, and not just the group in Russia but a piss easy qualifying group as well.

Now they’re saying that some thought they’d struggle to get out their group.

**** them. Hope it hurts.

 

Stop talking yourselves up and learn your lesson. 

 

Over hyped league and a over hyped national team. Played two decent teams the entire tournament and lost to them both.

It was more blind faith than anything. Understandable why so many people were starting to think it might happen. But this England side is nothing special. I’d rank 1990, 1996, 1998 and 2006 as better teams

Fuelled by constant denial of facts. Its a hard working English team but lacking quality in the final third. Tired tonight because the game plan is still dependant on running

There is no doubt England's best result was against Belgium

Don’t think most sensible people were in denial about the fact they hadn’t played anyone. It’s just that when you get down to the last four, it can happen. But they were found out tonight.

England had a lucky run, and were ultimately found out, there's no denying that.

 

But can you think of a country or team that wouldn't talk themselves up if they found themselves in a semi final? Really?

Depends to what level. English are a hysterical bunch.

 

54 years of failure on a massive budget. Should be in the semi-finals regularly not 3 lifetime. 

 

I feel embarrassed for English. Celebrating failure. Scotland are not much better at that. Croatia are a great example of a small nation fighting hard

They beat the mighty Tunisia and Panama and lost to Belgium Then beat Colombia who forgot to play football and then lost to Croatia

So basically did what was expected but did nothing to justify the hype and cheer leading they got from the media and were not good enough against the decent teams
