(Sigh)

Yes. Yes, I did.

The better team won.... HATE. That.

Yup.

the number of chelsea names called thou, made me happy.

Hope that England v Croatia is an entertaining match...

Unfortunately, I have the Friggin Frogs slated for the cup...

Will be in place for Croatia v England.

Pulling for the likely-exhausted Croats.

I'd love to see Croatia in the final as I find England to be boring.

Rooting for Croatia too but either way the final should be interesting.

Croatia have been incredibly impressive.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

last four teams seals the argument that Europe is still the center of the soccer world, and that the best players are in the top three/four leagues there, England, Spain, Germany, France

Intense.

Extra time.

Exhausting.

Best World Cup ever.

my prognostication was off target: Belgium and England play for third place, NOT 1st...

Congrats to France and Croatia for making the Final. Gonna be physical...

Croatia has more balls and determination than even I imagined.

When Trippier scored on 5 minutes, I couldn't conceive of this team coming back with the legs of Major Dan to make up, then overcome the deficit.

France should roll through them. Just like their last two, assumed, overlords.

France in a blowout...... right?

FIFA
More like FAFA: Faking and flopping always.

I'm only posting cuz tail did.

I'm with delta in my failed predictions.
Belgium looked tired and flat, and that vaunted counter attack just didn't happen much.
I've under estimated Croatia the whole tournament..............didn't even have them coming out of their group..............then they spank Argentina 3-0 in group.........and I still figured it was a fluke, like Germany's epic turd.........

Croatia 2 France 1

Hope I didn't jinx em....

It will be an awesome match. I'm pulling for France, but with Croatia's heart...?

Side note, who knew the Ref was from Croatia in the England game?

I may have some resentment.

As the English would say; "That's not quite cricket". WTF? [ram27bat]

My guess is you have not been watching. This has been a great world cup.


I think they are starting to gain control over the flopping. I was hoping the VAR would result in more yellows when it happens but it seems as if the Refs are doing a better job of not calling the penalty and the VAR at times works in reverse.... if that makes sense....

Flopping hasn't been much of an issue and I love the world making fun of Niedermeyer (intentional spelling)



Go croatia.
