  • Croatia lost group opener to England

  • Czech Republic beat Scotland in their first match

  1. As things stand...published at 18:30 British Summer Time 18 June 2021

    if the game was to remain level, the Czech Republic would top Group D on four points, with England one behind on three points, Croatia on one point in third and Scotland yet to get off the mark. Remember, the big one at Wembley is coming tonight with England and Scotland having only played one game each so far.

    Just a reminder, if it finishes all square at Hampden then an England win tonight would take them through. A draw would put them in a strong position, but not clinch progression for Gareth Southgate's side.

    For Scotland, a draw at Hampden is pretty much the dream result. Not that I'm holding out for that or anything.

    ...how long to go, ref?

    And it's grabbed by Livakovic. As you were.

    The Czech Republic are having a go again. There's still lots to play for.

    You know what? Patrik Schick should be doing better there.

    A corner is landed on his head eight yards out, but the Bayer Leverkusen man can't keep it down.

    Oh, hold up.

    Corner coming for the Czechs. Their fans seem encouraged...

    Croatia are a different team in this second half.

    Vladimir Coufal has a job on his hands taking care of Ivan Perisic.

    They've just gone up a gear or two.

    I've just spotted from the heavens at Hampden that Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic is sporting a bright white pair of trainers with his suit at the edge of his technical area.

    Not sure if this is to be applauded or not.

  10. Croatia on the chargepublished at 18:13 British Summer Time 18 June 2021

    Croatia 1-1 Czech Republic

    Hello Croatia, nice of you to join us.

    The team in black have awoken from their Euro 2020 slumber. They are on the front foot. Their movement is good. Even the sight of Soucek whistling a shot inches wide isn't enough to stop them quickly coming forward again.

    Credit to the Czech fans on the far side here, they keep going. Even the annoying bloke with drum hasn't lost his faith, but the game feels different now.

    Pace, a bit of energy, composure, quality. He drops his left shoulder and bangs it in the top right corner. That's what I call quality. They've got the quality but they haven't showed it. I'd expect the keeper to do better with it but there's a lot of pace on the ball. He gets his laces through it. Bosh.

    It's all about power and precision. The pace beats the goalkeeper.

    It's a wonderful, wonderful finish. You don't save them.

    GOAL - Croatia 1-1 Czech Republicpublished at 18:07 British Summer Time 18 June 2021

    Ivan Perisic

    What a hit. What a start. What a goal!

    Whatever the half-time team talk was, it worked. Perisic with an absolute worldy. He rampages down the left, cuts inside, loses his man, and arrows a belting shot high across goal into the far corner.

    Scenes.

    And we are now back under way at Hampden.

    Two changes for the Croatians. Bruno Petkovic on for Ante Rebic, and Luka Ivanusec on for Josip Brerkalo. The World Cup finalists rolling the die here.

    So, do you think it was a penalty? The wonderful BBC audience, you're our VAR ref, here.

    Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for not a chance.

    Chris Sutton
    Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think Croatia are effectively out - they're not the team they once were I think that's obvious. They've got no Mario Mandzukic, haven't scored enough goals but they still have enough good players in this team to do more than they are actually doing and to pose more of a threat.

    It’s a great start. I have to say the way they started the game, they were a team who pressed high and tried to force Croatia into defending and mistakes. I was impressed by the Czech start. I thought they might take it easy because they have three points in the bag but they took the initiative.

    Without VAR it’s definitely not a penalty. It doesn’t get talked about. VAR changes it. I don’t think it should have been a penalty. Their arms are both in the air. There’s no intent from Lovren to hurt his opponent. He wins the ball too. The striker is on his blindside so he doesn’t see him until the last moment. The referee needs a bit of help from someone to talk it through a bit more.
