Fifa World Cup 2018

Final four for Belgium and France

Congrats!!

 

ALLEZ LES ROUGES!!!

 

Well done Belgium!!! And France of course.

I've got everything crossed for England this afternoon!!!!

At least the betting odds are ever so slightly in our favour...


and if I may, a mini-rant...
Why oh why do our commentators keep referring to statistics and matches in the 60's, 70's and 80's as if they are relevant to todays games...
(Miserable old sod!! . )

 

england gonna win cup. final will be england X belgium. penalty shootout

 

To soon?

 

Best world cup I've seen as an England supporter (and I do just remember 66).
Perhaps if we win we can dump the whole Brexit fiasco.

 

Nice!!!!

Go England!!!!!

 

England won a well deserved victory, as did Croatia.

 

again comes down to penalty kicks????? its a team sport...not a skills competition ..

 

As @Neil.C pointed out, in a tournament knock out phase the match has to be decided.

I have stood in (local level, last one to kick and decide the penalty series and outcome of a semi-final ) cup tournament waiting for the referee to give the sign, and trust me, I have wished someone could come up and present a better alternative!

When you score the team wins, fail and you're in a very lonely place.

 

Hope he kept the receipt in case it has to be returned on Thursday!!

 

Missed it again

 

England for the win I hope.

 

I cannot wait to see the turmoil when France beats England in the final.

 

Turmoil - why?

Four teams left in from the original 32.

Whoever wins will deserve it.

 

BTW a pleasure to play against such civilised opposition yesterday as Sweden after the big fight with Colombia.

Great result by our lot yesterday afternoon against a tough and fair Swedish side and now a semi final against Croatia. All Europeans in the last four which is unusual.

Belgium v France will be a nail biter too.

Too close to call all round now.
