Possibly. Unlikely on current form.

I'm pretty sure football is coming home to France :P  After I watched them beat Argentina I bet on them to take to whole thing. They are such a fast team and Mbappe is absolutely ridiculous.

I agree with Perspective, I like England more, but France is playing so damn good - they will be hard to beat. Overall this was a weird World Cup - many experts gave germany a 50%+ chance of winning it all and they didn't even get past the rounds.

Just to be clear: I have no fucking idea about what I'm talking about.  I watched Croatia vs Russia and that was it.  And that was only because I was stuck in a hot ass cabin with my wife's friends and it was literally better than nothing.

I know. I just resisted the temptation to rise to the bait (for once).

I hope you understand that I'll still root for non-England just to spite you ;)

sorry, Rob. There is always 4 years from now.

I will be cheering for Croatia on Sunday, but they have little chance against this French team.

I made it home in time to see the extra time, damn Croatia was one hungry team.

I'm with Jake, I'd love to see Croatia take it but I wouldn't bet on it!

What the hell happened to us in the second half?

Inexperience?
Nerves?
Fatigue?


Gaaaah!

Oh well, I guess we did well to get into the semis.

As a friend of mine put it, I haven't been that nervous about a semi since I watched Brokeback Mountain...

Tough break again

Tough break again

The third place qualifier is always a weird match. The players are already so distraught about losing the semi-final that they don't really play the same way as a regular elimination match.
