England's to lose.
England will never have a better chance to get to a world cup final.

shush you, i followed the threads/FIFA too long to not at least place 2nd

 

[luckysox]

It's gonna be a good game, the Croats will fight like no tomorrow. They only made it this far once, 20 years ago(?), when they just became a sovereign country. I think Croats want it more badly than English.

 

[RyanABC - retired]

COME ON ENGLAND!!

Jelena - that's quite enough form you ;-)

Anyone back it with a little punt as well?

 

[goatwack]

It's going to be telling in the latter stages of the game, where Croatia will be absolutely spent.

If Sterling were to score, now's the time to do it. Kane will be more of a threat than Mandzukic, I just hope Kyle 'I'm not really a central defender' Walker doesn't get caught out badly.

If England can contain Modric, there's every chance, whereas England have Kane, Lindgard, Alli and even Sterling as match- winners!

There's definitely a tangible sense of excitement in the air. Of course it's a tad nauseating seeing middle-class women singing Vindaloo in the streets with their England facepaint, but it's a small price to pay

England to scrape through 2-1 in Extra Time.....

Nooo, this time it's gonna work properly!! Certainly, it's the only team I rooted for and haven't let me down, so I hope they won't today either

They said that in Euro 2016 .

France are solid but not unbeatable. Their best game was their 4-3 against Argentina, and though an attacking masterclass, they still conceded 3 against them.

I don't even think they played that great against Belgium, just that Belgium choked and had no plan B. If say England were to lump balls into their penalty area when needed I'm not sure the likes of Varane, Umtiti and Loris could cope with that.

Plus, despite playing in England for God knows how many years, Loris punched the ball instead of catching it, what is it with the foreign keepers

Griezmann was I thought awful, Giroud poor, Mbappe made blistering runs but lost the ball a fair few times. Their main strength is their dynamism in midfield with the likes of Kante and Pogba breaking everything up.

They're not world beaters. England or Croatia could give them all manner of problems on any given day. It'll be 50/50

We will see , hopefully a great Final like 2014

Best about 120Min/ Penalty

 

[FavoPlayer]

England will win today and will win World Cup 2018!

Best laugh I've had all week!

Granted, it is quite funny, but despite his wonky composure for England he has just done a 23- goal season at MC

Hopefully Gabby Yorath is taking an annual leave day for interviewing duties. The other night's insightful (normally leading) questions were asking Harry Maguire about the size of his head

Putin's ordering the drugs test as we speak.

 

[goatwack]

All rather easy so far isn't it

 

[mack341]

england are making hard work of this, sitting back for the rest of the match is asking for trouble

 

[steveh35]

Seems England is once again suffering from a fall in sterling

 

[steveh35]

The engravers must already be etching France onto the trophy lol

All rather easy so far isn't it

the game just turned into a cliffhanger.

 

[mcgameboy]

If England had gone 2-0 up while they were bossing this game, it was all over.

But now...I'm thinking penalty shootout.

England looking very shaky now though. It's like the enormity of the occasion has suddenly hit them. The fear is beginning to creep in.

 

[nikantw]

Kane is not at his best day, 3 chances lost already.

Oh crap....... frak that....

I am not even going to see any other match

 

[Harry_BKK]

Oh dear
