@majstor-matt

I think all these games are gonna be close; hard to predict. All deserved to get this far.

@majstor-matt they have a great chance to go all the way.the whole nation is behind them.russia england great match .they could win both matches if they play like against argentina.good luck to croatia

[Majstor Matt]

@marjan2241 Problem with us is as it is in almost every sport. We are capable to win against almost anyone, but also lose against anyone But I am sure players are aware of the chance they have now and that they will give everything they have against Russia. They have broken the curse of the first knockout match, specially on penalties in dramatic circumstances (we always lost thos matches before) so Im sure they are much much more morally balanced now All in all, cannot wait for Saturday!

@majstor-matt

Your first point is like England were too, any stat/ trend ( such as Germany being a tournament team) can be broken.

And your second point sounds like Liverpool at times, and my club Derby. Both of which have got to final stages of various competitions recently. My safest bet would be on a Brazil v Croatia final. Although the three teams in Brazil's half put in good performances and/or mighty come backs. And England and Russia have rode their luck well, which can also be a huge factor. Hence why I say it is hard to predict. I would just like a new team than recent winners to get the trophy.

C'mon !
As a Belgo-Croatian, I let you bet on which final I'd like to see haha
Good luck (seems to be as important as in osm lol) to every country but may those 2 reach the final

[Majstor Matt]

@restimat Who would you support in final if it comes to that?

[Majstor Matt]

AGAIN!!!!!! This is not good for my healtht! CROATIA IS IN THE SEMIFINALS!!! For the 2nd time in history!!! AJMOOO!!!! CROATIAAA!

[Hans Orf]

@majstor-matt

See you there.

Croatia have got thru a lot of high pressure games. England played their best game of the tournament so far today and without Kane really being on top form. Gonna be a hard one to predict. As are both semi-finals. Great to not just have snore no score draws or boring games this late into the World Cup.

[Majstor Matt]

@hans-orf For us this is already historic. But I'm glad we are finally playing against someone who will play real football and attacking style because we are better than. Even if we lose next 2 games like Brasil in 2014 these guys are already HEROES for us. Good luck on 11th of JUly, may the best team wins IDEMOOOOO!

[Cutters Choice_NL]

Croatia! Croatia!

[Sonny Légendaire DIEU OSM]

[Majstor Matt]

Spain had Xavi and Iniesta.. we have this magic duo. The Maestro and Mr.Balls of Steel! #greatestmidfieldduosever

[Markez17]

@majstor-matt i think we all want to see Modric winning Golden Ball this year!

[Majstor Matt]

@markez17 I think he secured top 3. If he carries the Croatia into final I think he is then really really close, even If he loses to KDB in final. Would be epic for sure

Fun fact. Last time 1 Croat was so close was that magical 1998 when Suker came 2nd to one and only Zizou

[Majstor Matt]

It's time. HISTORIC chances for Croatia and Belgium to qualify for their first ever World Cup final. Can they do it? Of course they can. COME ON!!

@majstor-matt

A great article on your man Modric -

BBC has by far the best, most balanced and fair set of English speaking commentators and presenters for the WC.
