Definitely not. They beat you with a goal by Eder who didn't even made it to WC2018.

The Portuguese players multiplied the faults and showed a totally anti-sports attitude, they didn't deserve the cup at all. What their seleção did is a typical hold-up.

Hmmm nice bike

Gonna go ahead and say it: that ref is an ass. There should have been at least two or three yellow cards against Croatia in the first half.

Uncle Sikee Atric

He'll be sterner the 2nd half, he's tried to let the game flow as much as possible.  So long as the score stays 1-0 as time ticks down, he'll flash the card more and more as a serious deterrent against the Croatians playing dirty.  

 

Some of the game have been too broken by refs and their decisions, this one is a refreshing change.

I’m not even mad, Croatia deserved that win. I’ll also be rooting for them on Sunday. 

 

Maybe it’ll come home in 2022.

Saw it myself, and Croatia literally fired back after a goal ignited the fire in them. Props to Croatia for their wonderful performance.

If only Kane scored that chance in the 1st half, or if that Stones header wasn't cleared off the line. Such small margins decided the game, but it was the correct result. Croatia were the better team for the 2nd half and extra time and we just couldn't play out down the middle to create a chance. The formation was good for the whole tournament but we just lacked an extra man in attack at times. Props to Croatia for not playing silly buggers and just being hard working and professional, hope they win it.

 

But I need to just say that the ref and his linesmen were shambolic and missed a bunch of 100% freekicks and corners, as well as giving Walker a yellow for throwing the ball away but not doing the same for Croatia players.

England wasn't able to be dangerous in their passing. They screwed up all their key passes. Croatia fought hard and deserved it. Their general game is more refined than England's.

 

Much better game than yesterday's. France playing anti football from the first whistle and being lucky. What an abomination.

Rock on Croatia! Beating all odds to get to the final. Solid play all around, win well deserved.

 

Now at last a chance for a new team to win. I wonder if France will go in on the back again, or if they'll underestimate the Croats and try to be more offensive. Just hope the Croatians remain solid and take it home.

 

And a rematch between Belgium and England. Wonder if they'll play the same friendly game as last time!

Oh well. did better than anticipated, so can't really complain, and the positives to take away from this, is that it's a young team who've now got some big game experience under their belts, and we actually won a penalty shoot-out at a World Cup for a change.

 

As for the pointless game, they'll end up mainly playing a second starting XI, with a couple of the regulars.  But I'm calling it now, Sterling will get a goal and all the press will have the knives out giving it the whole "why didn't he do that during the important matches".. whaa whaa whaa sh*t.

So, to summarize up certain teams from the past matches goes as follows, in my personal opinion mind you:

 

Germany - Zero winning mentality in even defending their title

 

Japan - Has a lot to show and could do a better job if they want to go through much further than the Round of 16

 

Brazil - Has a star player who's a complete diva and does more harm than good for his team

 

Argentina - Also has a star player who clearly leaves himself in the shadows with no motivation to win for his team. He only scores when he feels like it, but otherwise doesn't do his role as team captain

 

Panama - Made themselves easy targets for Belgium and England to school them hard. Better luck next time

 

Egypt - 28 years later, unable to get a single win and never got through, the team never cared for Mo Salah whatsoever

 

Poland - Lack of proper teamwork, including their last match against Senegal when the goalkeeper left the goal wide open out of desperation

 

Iceland - Could do better if they improve just like in Euro 2016

 

Spain - Like Germany, zero winning mentality and fell early at the hands of Russia

 

Croatia - Has shown significant improvement from 2014, and has lots of potential to show

 

England - Also has shown improvement from 2014, despite their loss today, even has potential too

 

Portugal - Ok team, but Ronaldo needs to realize that it's not about himself and he should give his teammates a fair slice for once

 

There you have it.

Why does this third place playoff match even exist still. It's pointless, no one wants to play it or watch it. It's a pointless game that at most will just risk injury to players who need a rest for the upcoming season.

genuinely feed bad for England. I mean they had it in their hands and were in control and then just let it all go. That has got to hurt. For Croatia's last goal when the ball was up in the air, even a slight jog forward by the backline would have caught Mandzukic offside, but they're just hardly walking...

 

Anyways, pretty awesome to see Croatia in the final! The fans and players must be fired up for this once in a career chance to make history and make legends of themselves. Will not be an easy game for France. Just hope it's not a goalless draw that goes to penalties. Anything but that! 

Kane had the ball of the match to decide the game. 30 minutes of the first half, 1-0 since the 5th minute, he was in the perfect position to finish it and pretty much decide the game. And the keeper saved. And again, goal wide open, he jogged to the ball, and again the keeper saved. Shame!

 

Come on Croatia!

Dull as dishwater that game, very average performance from both sides.  De Bruyne was played out of position, and Hazard should have had a free kick outside the box in the second half, and would have been vintage De Bruyne territory.  France weren't exciting to watch, which has been about the third time this tournament (Australia and Denmark being the other two).

It should be a nice game to watch. Most of the players that sat on the bench most of the competition are willing to play, and it should be an open game, not like what we naturaly see in the semis, where teams try to expose themselves as little as possible.

 

 

The officials were hot garbage but I can't and won't blame them for the loss.

 

Croatia put a lot of pressure on England off the ball, which resulted in us just hoofing it up top which was dire to watch. Can't help but feel what might have been if Kane had finished that glorious chance, but that's football for you.

 

Fully deserved Croatia win. Have France in a sweepstake with friends, so backing the French come Sunday.

Sneaky Queeky

What happened happened, but Jordan Pickford has earned his place in the team for life. The amount of pressure the defenders put him under constantly with those back passes was absurd at times, and never once did he not look like he was in control. The defence? That's a different story; but Pickford is one of the breakout stars of the World Cup for me.

ok england are out so the death of football has been prevented. still by far the worst world cup ive ever seen the only good thing was germany going out early but i couldnt even properly enjoy that because everything else sucked ffs
