Think they just ran out of steam,but very well done.I have a sneaky feeling that those thinking France easy winners might be in for a shock.Apart from some of the foul play,I thought Croatia deserved the win.

France will win at a canter, in a one sided final.

Modric and a couple of others, versus 11 powerhouses obsessed with defence and clean sheets. With Mbappe and Griezman ready to exploit any errors.

It's already " come home." Is there a Country in the World that does not watch the English Premier League? It maybe all about the money, but that just enables the best players from around the World to have a stage in England.
Exiled amongst the red and white, at the wrong end of the A/M27.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.........Time to die.12-07-2018, 20:55 #26Members

At the risk of feeling some posters wrath, it was highly unlikely we would be crowned World Cup Winners. This isn't said at all slagging off Southgate and the players, who I consistently supported BEFORE and during the tournament. Originally Posted by neilbard

Yes, I realise that on paper we only a game and half from doing it, but far more technically gifted and tactical Rakitic/Modric took control after the 30 minute mark. Leaving us resorting to dozens of hoofs. France are another level above that, and would beat Croatia or England with ease on Sunday anyway. France now will simply over power and foul Modric in numbers, in the same way that Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and in the last game Hazard were hustled into looking aveage. Power and mass defence will win the final.
The WC winners are always one of the two best teams on the planet at that moment in time. We're not near that, yet.
Let's just enjoy the moment of a good tournament for England, loads of goals and happy memories. We'll worry about future tournaments when we qualify for them.15-07-2018, 17:30 #27Members

French defence and muscle winning with ease in the end. Originally Posted by Weststander

There hasn't been a big one sided score like this since 1970.
France v Belgium was the real final, where muscle and defence again overcame deftness.15-07-2018, 17:43 #28Sanity Clause

Bookmakers do well out of many people, hence Ray Winstone's appearance on a regular basis. Originally Posted by perseus
