    Ideal result would be Croatia + Modric Red Card

    Russia for me.

    (As long as they don’t score goals like that)

    Russia for me. Man for man, our squad looks better than theirs so we'd have a better chance of reaching
    the final. However, I still think we will be playing Croatia in the Semi. Whoever it is, it's eleven v eleven and in a game
    like that, on any given day, anything can happen.

    I think they both look fairly similar. And both will give us a tough and close match. I think Croatia may just edge it. Just hope it goes the full distance to penalties, a couple of red cards wouldn’t either.

    Having been to Croatia 7 times now they are kind of my second team so I am rooting for them. It was proper banging in Porec when they won the penalty shoot out the other night. Fantastic atmosphere.

    No split loyalties in the semi final if they make it though ;)

    Russia for me, hope they play out a 1-1 draw, extra time and Penners. And a couple o yellows to help as well!!!

    Russia will be easier to beat, but more of our fans would get into a Croatia semi.

    Croatia. Much easier for me to find a ticket! Think we can beat both. No fear.

    Whoever, just hope it involves energy sapping extra time and mentally straining penalties :)

    Whoever it is, the atmosphere is likely to get uglier off the pitch. Both have a lunatic element.

    They do, but a player who already has a yellow getting booked here misses the semi. They get cleared after this so that the only way to miss the final is a red in the semi.
