Hi again chaps!
First and foremost I can openly confess I have watched some WC footie, and yes also egos have been subdued by GS for the betterment of squad / team spirit. That’s what has got this squad to where they are now.
LM aah yes , I recall way back when he was well out of favour at Spurs and it was touted almost anyone could have him for a song (relatively speaking). I was desperate to see us make a play for him and realise to some degree Tugay II !
Anyhow , not unusually I’m a bit with Champs on this in that I think that France are a far more difficult obstacle. Don’t get me wrong as I have immense respect for Croatia, but they are showing traits of ‘going off the boil’.
I am in two minds over this as I pretty much dislike nay detest the French (by and large), so it would irk me far more for them to ‘do us’ than the Croations’
