    Croatia look a team well past their best. No pace at all and not tracking runners.
    Amazing what a goal can do. They have plenty to give yet.

    Agree. They can’t get themselves up the park at all.

    Modric can still play but he’s not got anyone to pass the to.

    Been great for Leeds.
    Fantastic player, watch a fair amount of Leeds and over the last 2 years he’s gotten better and better, played really well today hasn’t half gotten away with a lot of nippy fouls though

    Croatia have offered nothing going forward. Certainly not the side that reached the World Cup final three years ago.
    Showing England too much respect. They'll not play as passively against Scotland.

    Is watching England on mute anymore bearable?

    Every one of their players is world class and shouldn't be booked for fouls. Hate the English media, they assume everyone watching is English and want to hear Foden talked about as if he is a Marvel character.

    Don't know where the arrogance comes from as they routinely get dumped out of these competitions.

    Sterling's finishing is dreadful.

    This kind of stuff gets rolled out as standard during the major comps. In reality, no one forces us to watch.

    I went to see Tottenham v Man City in April ‘18. Boring stadium, boring experience. EPL games are crap to go to.
    Not newcastle or palace matches. Palace have there own mini ultras group that create a decent atmosphere.

    Is the English commentary really anymore bias than Scottish?

    It’s the pish that makes it so funny when they get knocked out.

    I can only imagine what it must be like to be English in Scotland right now.

    They only need to tolerate it every 20 odd years though, we get it pretty much every other year.

    Why wouldn't I watch the Euros, being a football fan as I am? Who will we get for England vs Scotland game? Will that be a case of not being forced to watch as well? Cool, guess I don't need to pay TV license then.

    I think its Dixon, McCoist and Sam Matterface on ITV for it.

    It’s not even accurate any more. They are no more arrogant about their team than the Scottish media are about ours.

    Depends.

    If it's Davie Provan on Sky then it certainly bias. In favour of whoever Scotland are playing.

    Generally speaking your right though. It's just been so long since we have been at a tournament that we have forgotten what it's like. The commentary will be hugely Scotland centric and Scotland bias tomorrow and rightly so

    Well that quickly turned into a rant.

    Surely we’ll get a Scottish commentator

    I'd say yes. Repeated fouling that Calvin Phillips has been doing would most likely get a "He's got to be careful" rather than the "that's great" type comment. Sterling smashing it over the bar on his left would most likely get a "He has to do better there" rather than "His best game all season" platitudes.

    It's not just positivity. It goes levels beyond it. They rarely say anything negative in commentary until they inevitably get dumped out in a match.

    Their arrogance and disdain for the opposition is off the charts. It's boak inducing. Only Hun TV comes close to matching that lot.

    Croatia look like a team who are happy to get beat 1-0 and will save their energy for the next 2 games. With a few 3rd place teams going through I really don’t think it encourages teams to go for it each game.

    England's songbook is as dull as ours.
