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.

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.

Got a header and shot from outside the box scored at 10/1

 

Does that own goal count for either?

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.

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.

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.

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...

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
