    I fully expect to see Croatia win this one, they are a very well rounded team, with probaly the best defence left in the tournament imo. Ill go with a 2-0 win to croatia.

    Croatia, deffo.

    I have them in a sweep, so they better bloody win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    Yep, Croatia for me also. The only thing about Turkey is that they're gathering momentum and their confidence will be sky high. But the Croats will be too strong for them, i'm sure
    Croatia - Spain final!!

    I know everyones writing them off (myself included) but could those resilient turks surprise us tonight???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Croatia for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 743 ✭✭✭Mad Dog


    I can see Croatia winning this one but not by a wide margin, it could even go beyond 90 minutes.

    Croatia 3 - 0 Turkey....:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 920 ✭✭✭Drummerboy2


    Yes, I see a very open game but Croatia to win by at least 3 clear goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,079 ✭✭✭✭Malice


    I'm going to go with the majority and side with Croatia too. Turkey were the width of post away from going 3-0 down to the Czechs and really only got back into the game after being gifted a goal by Petr Cech so I can't see them getting past a Croatia team that has played some fabulous football in the tournament.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,438 ✭✭✭TwoShedsJackson


    This'll probably be a pretty mad game, I'd say Croatia to win by the odd goal, and a red card for one on each side.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    And a riot outside probably give the nature of some Croats and Turks.
    I'll like to see Turkey do it but they won't get out of jail twice.

    I'll go with everyone else and say Croatia. I'd guess 2-0 or 3-1. I think Croatia are professional enough to make sure it doesn't go down to the wire.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,581 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    Im thinking Croatia. They look the best organised team left.
    Also have them in my Sweeps :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    I think Croatia will win but at 4-1 my money will be one Turkey. Really overpriced


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    where the hell did you get 4/1!!! i can only find best price of 11/4


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    Someone on the gambling forum quoted that price, haven't bothered looking myself

    EDIT: He was right, Betfair 4-1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,449 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Do tell 4/1!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,227 ✭✭✭20 Times 20 Times


    Guys for massive money ;)

    Would you back croatia at 5/6 to win in 90 mins

    Or

    2/5 to qualify.

    I thought it was better value to go for qualifying rather then the win over the 90min , so the price i negotiated was 4/9 with 500 on it :eek:

    2/5 to qualify is far too small. The odds are on the side of Turkey for this game, no doubt. I think Croatia will win, but the odds are certainly over compensating. Go for something like Croatia HT/FT for value


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,685 ✭✭✭Tom65


    C'mon the Croats!

    you kidding me , for €500 euro mate you want to be buying money in these games hence the 4/9 bet on Croatia to qualify from this match(ET and penalties INCL)

    Bah, I bet on France to win and, having seen their first match, I more or less avoided them after that :p

    The Croatian people will be after you.

    It's genuinely difficult to hit the crossbar from that kind of chance.

    Modric was mildly displeased too judging from hi reaction.

    The commentator called it when he said Croatia are beginning to tear Turkey apart. Only a matter of time, surely?
