SAF has a home in France, so every self respecting Manchester United fans should support France.

Also SAF era kick started with French genius, so every ManUtd fan should cheer for France, else they are not ManUtd fans only.

Ok if France plays like Brazil of Socrates and Falcao then France would be my favorite team after Portugal.
In comparison to Portugal, we might be playing like the Brazil of old sure. However if you're giving yourself any excuse to support Croatia, I officially dislike you today

@fcbforever are you talking about Lovren singing a song associated with the Ustaša movement after win against Argentina and Vida doing a video shouting "Glory to Ukraine!" or has there been anything else?
There’s more than that going back further. Vidas poor joke about Belgrad this tournament (totall unintentional of course), them hearing „Thompson“ all the time...

But most of all it reminded me off this whole Simunic disaster, how absolutely unapologetic he is about the whole thing, seeing himself victimized and how the whole team and federation, most of them still being there today, supported and support that narrative.

"Manchester United" contains all the letters in "France" but "F" but no one gives a "F" anyway because it usually represents a bad word.
So all Manchester United supporters should support France in this one, unless if you're a Croat in which I wouldn't know what to do if I were you.

Reckon it'll be a tight game, not expecting it to be the most exciting of finals.

Think it will be won by whichever midfield is able to dominate & control possession. Hopefully Pogba is able to continue his good form in the tournament & stamp his authority in the biggest game.

Howard Webb speaking on Canadian tv. He's been very good. A good and honest speaker and admitted the 2010 final was a tough one for him.

Rooting for France, they are a young team and hopefully they can learn from their mistakes since Euro 2016.

All the best @kouroux

Why are BBC still blaming youngsters not playing at their club?
Do we have to tell Spurs to play Kane or Alli?

Football brings out the human hive mind, there is a creepy similarity between large crowds and insect colonies in the way they behave. Sorry, I'm weird.

Watching the build up now, I’m so gutted England didn’t make it.

Manchester United FC solves that problem.

Still hard to cheer on the French. Just want a great, dirty match with loads of goals.

Watching this match is like eating my vegetables. I know I have to, but that doesn't mean I'm going to like it.

To England and Manchester United fans, are you all supporting France today? After all, we don't have any players playing for Croatia.
