I have to say that watching the news tonight showing big screen crowd scenes from their various games it does look like they've had a great ride even though they're out. Quite jealous of that. Wish it had been us.

Folk here have been getting hopeful, but they've been as nervous as excited.
Just like we would be.
I'd love for Scotland to lose a WC semi-final.

It looked good fun being an England fan over the past few weeks and the team brought the country together, something only football could have really done. And I must say how impressed I've been with Southgate, I honestly would have been happy for him had England won tonight.
However, for Glenn Hoddle to call them all national treasures is laughable. They beat Tunisia, Panama and Sweden. Once the dust setlles and the emotions calm, people will see it for what it was. A fortunate route to the semis and ultimately beaten by a better side for the second time.

But I still think France have too much quality.

England badly need a creative player in midfield and someone to take the weight off Kane upfront.I wonder if he’s carrying an injury,Spurs will be sweating.

England could have been out of sight at half time though, and like England I think France are stronger in defence and attack than Croatia (although Mandzukic was good tonight).
It's a fascinating prospect, hopefully the final is as good as the rest of the tournament has been.

Any one notice the green white & black UJ flag behind the goal, partly covered by a Russian flag? It wasn’t was it??

I have to say it's usually the BBC commentary I find ridiculous and Bias but itv and hoddle with the other guy have took it to new levels this tournament

I think it might not be the best. A knackered Croatia controlled and stifled by a more complete and fresher French team. Croatia good enough to starve France of too much possession but struggling to puncture the French. Hope I'm wrong. If Croatia still have enough juice it could be a cracker. Big if though.

France can be a bit hot and cold. I wasn't at all impressed by them in the first game but they have played well at times since then.
It's fairly open, there will be lots of top players on show and I'm looking forward to it.
Tonight's game wasn't a classic game, but it was intriguing from first minute to last.

England are a decent side at international level but they were never going to win the World Cup. If you were naive enough to buy into the media and their whole it's coming home patter then it just shows a lack of understanding of the game.

Realistically if you weren’t English or weren’t panicking like a schoolchild sitting a finals exam England were never winning it. They aren’t good enough. Could really only score from set pieces.
I said from the start they won’t win and to be fair they’d prob got roasted from France in the final. These young lads can hold there heads high though and be proud they got that far. They had an easy run done well to not slip up but failed when it mattered simple as that. The Euros could be interesting as they will have learned a lot and may do very well in that.

France have followed the old itialian method, start slow, get through the group stages without too much efficiency then peak for the final

Seems as if the English media's comments gave the Croatian players a bit of extra motivation.

Maybe now, after what's been quite an odd/strange/great World Cup, even before it began it was bereft of 2 of the traditionally bigger footballing nations of Holland/Italy, the early exit of Germany, quickly followed by the likes of Brazil & Argentina, the fact that England still couldn't be 'Best of the rest' - just maybe we'll see a more realistic English Football-media emerge from it .......................
But then again I always hope that 'World Peace' is just around the corner ..........................

Don't quite know what to make of this World Cup. For me as a competition it still stands head and shoulders above other football competitions purely designed to make wealthy football clubs even wealthier. The clash of different cultures is still fascinating to me, and how people who are almost legends in club football cope with a different pressure while playing at national level. But so many notable names were missing from this tournament. No Italy, Netherlands, Chile, USA, and Germany and Argentina were really poor. It's hard to see past France in the final, although it would be brilliant if there's a new name on the trophy. Whatever the result, it's still a great tournament, and still at the very top IMO.
