    Croatia are looking a lot better than on Sunday. Makelele was dropped in favour of Wiltord to give France a bit of width.

    A half an hour gone and currently 1-0 to France, Tudor with the goal (og).

    eh?

    This is like a training match. Some nice tricks by Zidane and the hot blonde croatian twins in the crowd are about the only offerings entertainment-wise so far.

    Makelele was dropped cause he's injured, Dacourt is replacing him, Wiltord is in for Pires

    Dull game all right but with only a goal in it if Croatia can pull agoal back it will make the last games very interesting. Henry is having a very quiet tournament by his premiership standards.

    Oops. I'm only half watching the game TBH but I haven't heard Dacourt been mentioned once.

    Wow, that is some game now. 1st half was boring, but now there is everything to play for for both teams. Should be a good 30 mins ahead.

    Would you believe that point means absolutely nothing to Croatia. Whether they drew or lost they still had to beat England.

    I can't beleive Mornar missed that chance at the end though.

    Yeah, it's probably a shame Mornar didn't get the goal at the end, it would have really raised the stakes in the final set of games.

    sounds like a dull game. Pity croatia couldnt keep the win.That could have proved well for them.

    Dont write off Croatia against England. Croatia were very good agaisnt France and deserved the win. England werent impressive today and i would expect Croatia to take it to England and manybe get a narrow 2-1 win to knock out England.

    France were awful again. They really are there for the taking if someone has the balls and a little luck to finish the job...

    That was the best game of the tournament so far. Didn't think the First Half was all that bad. A lot of width and flow to the French play but the Croats couldn't cross their legs, let alone a football.

    OF course, being in a packed pub full of Frenchmen (and women. Down boy!!) maybe helped the atmosphere.

    That group's wide open now. Even the Swiss could still get through. All they have to do is beat France.
