Let’s see what happens tomorrow but there are no two ways about it - France will be big big favourites against us. Mbappé, Griezmann, Pogba, Kante...... they have a lot.
Finals a one off game though so you would have to hope our lot could raise their game one last time.
Croatia first though - and that’s tough enough!
France were also big big favourites in their own stadium v Portugal at Euro 2016.
woke up this morning a nervous wreck, managed to have a nap this afternoon, 2AM seems so far away.
I feel so sleepy at the moment. Fell asleep around 11pm despite being in bed at 9.30pm so I had only 3 hours of sleep before the game and 2 hours after.... I normally need 8 to 9 hours! @_@
The 3rd and 4th place game should be removed it’s the most pointless fixture in football
More $$$$$ for FIFA is all that match is for.
Disagree. The world cup is a competition and the 3 best teams deserve a medal be it Bronze, Silver or Gold or should we remove all medals beneath gold in all competitions?
I haven't read this thread, so apologies if this has been covered.
But I notice what I assume are some Chinese companies utilising the perimeter advertising hoardings. (I quite like the one with the cow heading the ball). But because they are aimed at the Chinese market I've no idea who they are or what they do. @JessieAddick - I wonder if you could provide some background info?

Would like to see Croatia win it now - have only had two 'new' teams win it in my lifetime (France 98 and Spain 10) and both of those had previously had a lot of success. Be nice to see a different team win the World Cup if we can't.

Just do it on goals scored or games won, it's such a pointless match. Belgium and England will both make changes again.

Yep a lot of Chinese ads. The cow one is Mengniu, China's top dairy products company. The other noticeable ones include:
WANDA, one of the biggest property developers here. Its chairman Wang Jianlin was the richest man in China for many years and is a 20% shareholder of Madrid Athletico.

Knew Hisense and Vivo, maybe we can get Mr Wang to buy us? I'd prefer he dropped Atletico for us, but it's not a must so long as they push players our way to develop
My ghast has been flabbered in that people are suggestion we shouldn't take the 3rd and 4th place play off seriously. Winning this will give us our best finish since 66. OK, we are disapointed not to be in the final but it shows a terrible attitude if we don't see this for what it is - coming third out of the best 32 teams the continents of the world can offer.
Klinsmann and Lineker both said after the France/Belgium game that the 3rd place play off is a pointless game, that no one wants to play in, and should be scrapped.

Can't have fucking Croatia winning the whole thing.
