2018 World Cup Thread

Boy, what kind of legs will Croatia have left for Sunday? 3 STRAIGHT Extra time games, plus 2 penalty shoot-outs! They've basically played an extra match compared to France. Still, there is something about this team.

France are obvious favorites but I think Croatia are on a mission here.

As for the third place game, do you think both teams play all reserves or do they go for it?

Take care all.

Nobody ever cares about third-place playoffs, though they do end up being miles more entertaining than the final and can help decide the Golden Boot winner sometimes.

So that means Harry Kane will claim every goal even from the bench?

Take care all.

I still can’t shake the feeling that we’re due to meet Belgium again this World Cup.

That doesnt bode bode well for a good result tomorrow night

Living in Wales I took the train to Bristol to watch the game. Just got home. The trip to, during and coming back were the best I've ever had as a football fan. Thank you Gareth, thank you England. I can't wait until next time.

Just realised that England are playing Croatia twice this autumn as part of this new UEFA Nations League thing.

I feel better now.

England did very well and thankfully the Premier League starts again soon. I should be ok to watch football again by that time.

In heartwarming news, Andy Carroll has done his ACL by falling off his hotel balcony while pissed. Presumably he was drunkenly warbling Fog on the Tyne at the time.

Hey, my prediction before this tournament was correct! Well done France who have an excellent team, but commiserations to Croatia, great performance and they kept trying until the end. Best World Cup final by far since 1986.

[Psychotic]

France comfortably have the best squad so I've voted for them. Those of you who were here for the 2014 World Cup will know this is the kiss of death.

oh. oops. should've gone for England! ...or Panama.

What a great World Cup, sad it's over.
