Its Englands "World Cup Final" tomorrow night v the frogs......., reckon France should win that one, ......, and France "should" really be retaining the trophy judging by what has been on offer......, but got to see the wee man lift that 75% solid gold cup before hanging up his boots.

England will bottle it. It's what they do.

Do we.even know if Ronaldo is starting? They play better without him, just like Man United. He's washed.

I love how the bracket played out.
Morocco (basically the Cinderella) vs Portugal (Ronaldo)
France (Defending Champs) vs England (Captain Kane)

Then Croatia (Modric) vs Argentina (Messi).

Gotta root for a Croatia vs England final. My Captain Kane Tottenham #18 jersey has aged like fine wine.

Croatia v France - part deux.
Won't end any differently.

France, first defending Champion since the Pele Brazil era.

Argentina France final........, could be ropey..... Mbappe will be an obstacle.

With 7 minutes to play @ 2-0...... and then 2-0 up in the PENS....., if Argentina had NOT gone through, then it was never to be for the best player to ever grace the game in Lionel Messiah Messi.

But its still on ----->>>>> KAAAAM AN!!!

Meh, they face Rocky next....
Weird because where I work there are a lot of Brazilians - and they wouldn't love nothing more than for Croatia to beat Argentina.

Argentina vs Croatia.

[froot loops]

Some of these teams just suck at shootouts.

For WC fan you want two things:
Competitive matches and moments of sheer quality - or in the case of the Dutch - sheer madness.
We've gotten it all today - kudos to the World Cup gods....

[Marko69]

Messi flops again!

Get over your Messi hate you!

Brolin, Sweden @ USA 94......, not the same, but similar in many ways

This was the 100th minute (the literal death) of an elimination game - and you slot an interior pass into the wall? Madness, clearly the work of a genius or a billion dollar Powerball winner.....
