Youri McAnespie Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Come on Croatia... Better to be bested by the eventual victors... I like the country and have friends there. France cannot have two stars to our one. Edited July 15, 2018 by Youri McAnespie
Whites man Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 France has been on the receiving end of Islamist terror more than anywhere else so it would be great to see Paris celebrate but I will be cheering on Croatia.
Moderators Zico Posted July 15, 2018 Moderators Posted July 15, 2018 Got a header and shot from outside the box scored at 10/1 Does that own goal count for either?
Sweep Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I hope so....But I'd not be surprised if the bookies don't class an OG
jules_darby Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Hanging that And Qatar next time The WC is dead
Sweep Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Keown started off saying it's not a penalty, now he's decided it definitely is.
Didledee Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Did it hit his hand, yes, was it deliberate? at that speed? not for me It wasn't even a clear and obvious error, that's what VAR is supposed to correct, joke call imo.
Guest Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 What sort of a death wish would you have to run into a World Cup final pitch in Russia mid game? Hope those people enjoy soup. Won’t be eating solids for a while.
Didledee Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 4-1 and not been playing that great, counter attack and individual brilliance
Guest Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 4-1 and not been playing that great, counter attack and individual brilliance Not playing that great? Nah. They are absolutely brilliant. Economy of performance is what marks out good teams.
birch-chorley Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Croatia much the better side up until the 3rd went in Then 2 in 10 minutes for France 4-2 now, still a chance
Whites man Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 2 goals needed in the last 10 minutes to force extra time, is there a Croatian Fabian Defreitas?
stevieb Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Benjamin Pavard is the most French looking person ever. Just needs a string of onions round his neck
Youri McAnespie Posted July 15, 2018 Author Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) I've a real sense of melancholy, perhaps because hopes were raised than dashed by England's positive showing, perhaps because it's been a good 'un and there is no more, perhaps because in the absence of England I wanted Croatia to go on and win it, perhaps because I can't force female members of the family to sit through Morocco vs Iran et al in revenge for all the shite they watch at other times..? But most probably because as Hugo Lloris lifted the trophy it felt like only ten fucking minutes since Philipp Lahm did the same four years ago... Edited July 15, 2018 by Youri McAnespie
Burndens Bogs Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Fantastic Final capping a fantastic tournament. Best team won it imo. 1,France 2,Croatia 3,Belgium 4,England Who'd have thought it?
Moderators Zico Posted July 15, 2018 Moderators Posted July 15, 2018 I hope so....But I'd not be surprised if the bookies don't class an OG They counted it as a headed goal, nice one
