Croatia need a hydration break.

I saw an Adam Cleary clip earlier showing how the hydration breaks have systematically inverted the run of play in games so far.

I’ll have to have a look for that. It doesn’t surprise me. And it favours the teams with more resources who can do a lot of analysis and be ready for it.

Need to bring on the big guns now, Ollie and Morgz.

[TonyD]

Anderson and Gordon have done fuck all.

Did ITV really just say game of the tournament so far?

Given most people want goals and for it not to be one-sided, 2-2 at half time seems...fine to judge it like that?

Also the fact that based on FIFA rankings this is the most competitive game in the first round.

[Dogtanian]

It has felt like the most ‘proper’ match so far.

[Brazilian Villain]

Here comes Morgs.

[cdbearsfan]

Rogers coming on.

[devilla]

Morgan coming on?

[olaftab]

Morgan about to….

[SamTheMouse]

Anderson and Gordon have done fuck all.

Anderson's worked hard. Gordon's been rubbish.

[Chip Butty 111]

Gordon a passenger...hook.
Croatia have been poor this half. Here comes the lad from Halesowen?

[ajmant]

Here comes Morgan.

I like Madueke but has not been "electric".
