Croatia look swamped in midfield even with the 3 in there.

OK, I'd have preferred Croatia but England it is. It will be a tasty final.
I dont see England or Croatia win against France though.. France would win 9/10 times but maybe it will be one of those rare special days for England/Croatia

Form is temporary, bans are permanent.
It's a good thing I have a little buzz on after drinking a bit. I'm smiling looking at the screen and can't really concentrate on the game.

Pretty much everything the commentators are saying is making me chuckle.

As Jose said, the key to a tournament where you need to play game after game is to train for your headers and freekicks. There is no energy left to train tactical brilliant stuffs. You would want to have max output with minimal energy spent
Its strange then when these same players play for their clubs these deadball situations seem mostly innocuous. Not just talking about england.

Whenever I see this ref he reminds me of Randall from Recess.

Lingard with a world cup medal ahead of Neymar and Mbappe.:drool:
:drool: So pleased for the lad. Just looking back at the abuse he got for that contract extension to having a great WC so far, it has been a great journey for him. Long may the improvement continue for Utd.

After all the hype about the golden generation, it will be incredible if this team wins the WC.
Football things, Lampard, Scholes, Gerrard and Carrick do nothing at international level, and Trippier, Maguire or Pickford are key to put England in a WC final :lol:

Do the english players all get knighted if they win the worldcup ?
Not all of them, they'll all get MBEs at least though. Southgate would get a knighthood and Kane might in later years, some would get OBEs.

Who is England their Eder? Who is the worst player out of all? Henderson to decide the world cup final with a wondergoal?
Not to say he's shite but it seems inevitable that Sterling will finally get a goal by scoring the winner.

man this has to be one of the furthest an england team with this little talent has gone in a tournament i swear. Lots of runners in attack to pressure teams, but man they really haven't created shite in open play vs any decent team all tournament.
