That Russia defense is slow and poor centrally, if they go through they might collect boat loads from England’s fast front line. That said Sterling is super useless in front of goal so will keep them in it.

Sterling's primary role in this team is to unsettle defenses. Leave the goals to Kane and Lingard.

Croatia should just play their passing game.

They can win this.

I hope SE defenders can learn how to not concede set pieces in your own half of the box.

This competency shall be graded before the next tournament.

Russia medicine pass African
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

It seems the Russians are getting tired. They are being PINNED in their own half - now.
