    Who will win the World Cup?

    Who do you think?

    Which two teams will contest the final?

    My money is on Belgium vs Croatia and a new World Cup winner.

    Belgium.

    Best keeper, best defence, best midfield, best striker.

    France are inconsistent. If we see the best of them in the semi then they'll beat Belgium. If they don't turn up Belgium will win.

    I'd back Belgium to win the final, but if it is France then I think that again it is down to which France turns up.

    They've all got deficiencies IMO. Belgium look good at times but for large parts of the game were struggling against Japan, they don't look a 90 minute team, more a 45 minute one, they either have a good 1st or 2nd half IMO. England have had a relatively easy passage through but have been efficient enough doing it, Croatia looked good against Argentina but everybody looked good against Argentina and I've not been particularly impressed with Croatia in their last 2 games at all. France look quite fast and at times look good too, but I thought they were 2nd best for a lot of the game against Uruguay and if Cavani had been fit I think they would have been beaten.

    England v Belgium final, hard to call. Just my opinion though.

    I think they’ll do it too. Just had that crucial bit of luck and the team performance v Brazil (especially Lukaku) was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

    I think an England v Belgium final and it's anyone's call... hope I'm wrong but England will beat Croatia who haven't been great their 2 knockout games so far.

    France v Belgium is a tight call but think the Belgian front 3 will be too strong for France

    So Belgium to win it for me 🤞🤞🤞please...anybody but Them

    My head says France, my hearts says Croatia, my intuition says Belgium and the deepest darkest pit of my bowels says England.

    Agree with 2/4 there. Would say Croatia have the best midfield, even if they were poor last night. And no chance is Lukaku better than Griezman 🤤

    We must prepare ourselves for the worst.

    I will still be taking advantage of longer odds on the opposition than are justified though.

    Belgium, i hope, but I'm thinking "they lot" may just win it.

    I backed England each way after they beat Tunisia. I got 12/1.

    I voted "Other" in the poll though cos I fancied Croatia.

    As much as I hate the thought I think England will win it, but I hope not.

    As long as Croatia win on Wednesday night then i'll be happy. Couldn't care less what one of the other three wins it.

    Takes away the fear of England winning it again.

    Even though you've said that in jest, it's actually true.

    When Hearts won the cup in 1998 it was horrible, but the next win against Gretna wasn't nearly as hard to bear.

    The longer it goes without an England win, the worse it will be when they eventually do manage it.

    Belgium. De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku all excellent last time out and I can see them catching France on the counter attack tonight then dominating the final.

    True. Prefer them not to because of some of the insufferable part time glory hunter soccer fans who've come out the woodwork down here but the team has been okay and I don't dislike the manager either.
