Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

So England aren't in it but its still the biggest game of International football.
I shall be cheering for Coatia myself though i think France will just shade it. Then again, I thought we'd beat Croatia comfortably!
Been a very good tournament in general with lots of exciting games and surprises along the way. Hope the final doesn't turn into a damp squib

I hope Croatia wins this, but I think the french will do it and without any trouble.

I agree with you NB, I've got Croatia in the works sweep so will gain from Englands misfortune either way.
Croatia must be running on fumes after our game (extra time, age of squad and played 24 hours after the frogs), so as you say hard to see anything other than a frog win unfortunately
I will be watching regardless, like I watched us whimper out yesterday. That said Belgium were the closest I've seen to us on the break all tournament (qel surprise
) just a shame they've got lookakpoo as their main striking threat otherwise England would have been embarrassed

Under normal circumstances I'd want Croatia to absolutely batter them but I have France in a winner takes all sweepstake, and it's worth a fair few quid. So, allez les Bleus!

Nice to see when discussing Craotia's weakness to quick counters, BBC highlighted how Raheem was able to get in behind Croatia multiple times, only for the rest of the team to amble forward and leave him stranded

Croatia looking like they want to attack the game, France not up to speed yet.

they will not have an easier route to win the cup for another 50 years. Absolutely right to be a bit disappointed when you can't beat a single team ranked above you.

But the rankings are a bit weird though aren't they? They don't tell you very much I'd say and aren't really given any attention except when people want to beat down England. Sweden won and knocked out Holland and Italy. We beat France. Yet our ranking to these teams weren't even close.

See the French have started the diving antics. The Croats won't like that!
Or that either. Should never have been a FK.
