    Absolute scenes.  If that was tomorrow that would cause I riot. 
    What happened, you're the only one it seems to have picked the better game to watch
    Croatia should of had a blatant pen and VAR didn't even check out.  Would have been goal of the tournament as well.

    Great game, tell those players the 3rd place game is a waste of time.

    Good game that 

    Annoys me how scared they are to shoot though, and keep trying to get another pass in. 

    Qatari ref had a shocker in 2nd half but not as bad as the VAR officials

    Third place play-off = first match I have completely missed. This is because it's the only match of no meaning at all.

    I'd tell them if I could but I'm sure they know already. They will probably throw their stupid medals in the back of the drawer, or melt them down.

    This third and fourth place playoff meant more to these two teams than if it has been France and Argentina contesting it.

    Well you can tell by your ignorance of the subject you didn't watch it.  Maybe sometimes it's best to say nothing.

    You might not care, they clearly did.

    If Croatia and Morocco each get 4 players sent off today, the game is unable to be completed, the result is nul and void. If the same happens in the final, the trophy goes to the quarter finalist with the best disciplinary record!

    THAT HAPPENS TO BE ENGLAND.

    We were only 8 red cards away from winning the world cup!!

    The 3rd place playoff is for pride and they are doing it for their fans.

    We won't ever care about it and that's understand considering we invented football

    It's all or nothing for us. "80 years of hurt" is creeping up

     we played 3rd place play off in the last world cup. Didn't watch it and actually had to look it up online to see what the score was 

    we lost 2 nil to Belgium

    If morroco win then they've officially gone further in a world Cup in comparison to England throughout the last 56 years.

    We've never reached 3rd 
    And it means absolutely nothing.

    I'd bet that a lot of people would have to google what happened in our third place matches in 1990 and 2018.

    I have a total blank on the 3rd play off match in 2018 but I have a vision of Peter Shilton making a mistake with his feet and England losing to Italy in 1990 ?

    A sign of old age when you remember 1990 3rd match game rather than 2018 !



    Same here 1990 game was in Bari.....I didn't even watch the 2018 one.

    Depends what airline you’re flying but some have live sport on the inflight entertainment system. Or you might get decent WiFi and be able to watch on iPlayer (with a VPN)

    It is if you have had it on your sky planner for the last 4 years and was always meaning to see it.

    I imagine the 3rd place playoff means more if you've never won the World Cup, as it's your country's greatest ever finish.

    In the 6 world cups they could have qualified for Croatia have come 3rd twice.  They have been in as many semi finals and finals as England have.

    It's really remarkable.

    Said it before, I don’t care for the politics surrounding it all, but this has been a cracking World Cup. 
    Just need a 4-3 or something in the final now.

    I have to say, I've enjoyed this World Cup a lot.

    While I hated it being in Qatar, and it being plonked in the middle of the season, it has produced some really good football, and being in December, a perfect excuse to stay inside in front of the TV! Injuries robbed the WC of a few players, but those that were there were fitter than they would have been in June.

    Great tournament and ended up getting the final it deserved. I just hope FIFA don't fuck the next one up with a stupid format.

    I don't trust the fifa bald bloke. He likes the cameras, wants attention and is displaying some bs enthusiasm

    If you're gana get all touchy feely with Lionel Messi then it is strange and just disrespectful. You're not on the same wavelength.
    Should only be star struck and then leave him alone

    It seems they might reverse the bizarre decision to go to 3 team groups, after the excitement of the final group games this time
