FRANCE VS ENGLAND WC FINAL

FRANCE 3 - 0 ENGLAND

POGBA AKA UGA UGA REDONDO SCORES A HAT-TRICK.

 

One thing this world cup has taught us, put money on opposite to anything Dagoods says.

So Eng win and Pogba red card.


Or actually

Belgium v Croatia final.

 

SHould be a great game...

England is very dangerous on set pieces...and have guys with speed....

While we have Luka and Rakitic...

 

Come on engurlund.
Football must go home!

 

Croatia are the better side
Tho, England are well coached and Kane and Sterling are good players who could help England win it all.

 

I'm very curious as to how England will approach this. Will they go for the usual attacking display? Or will they approach Croatia cautiously? Man for man, Croatia is much stronger, experienced, talented, rugged individuals, fight back to get the ball immediately. England should invite Croatia for the attack and just counter with speed. If Croatia are feeling sore after that previous match, it could work well for them. If they want to trade shots, go back and forth in an open attacking game, that'll play into Croatia's hands even if Croatia is a bit spent. Kind of risky.

 

V tight but its coming home

 

Croats will be battling both England and fitness.

Not looking good for them.

 

Trust me.. Croatia won't be tired...this is the semis man! They r so close . U think they will let tired legs let them down...the adrenaline will be pumping into their bods ....Croatia are ready for prime time, baby!!

 

No, they will definitely be tired. They were tired today and it showed, and it almost cost them the game. The silly foul that led to that free kick and the lack of reaction in the set piece can at least be partly explained because of that. Furthermore, it was obvious they were tired. Some of them even were clearly injured, and others are in danger of injury -- this includes players as important as Modric and Mandzukic, simply because of the minutes played, distances ran, intensity, and rest time. So it will definitely be a factor.

Having said that, of course they still have a chance.

England would still be favorites even regardless of the physical aspect. IMO Croatia should be playing better, more free flowing football with that magnificent squad. I'd think especially for this game and given the circumstances the formation should switch to a three men midfield with Modric and Rakitic better covered, freer to create, covering less ground, and having to do less defensive duties.

 

The last two matched were played under extremely humid conditions. Anyone will be tired, unless doped up. Whether or not Moscow will be any different, we shall see.

England's speed is the only aspect that may be worrisome. Other than that, it's all good. fiddy-fiddy

 

It's comin' home... to Zadar.

 

Yeah that makes sense.

 

our midfield maestros will make mincemeat out of Englands scrubs


England has a better striker but Croatia has better GK, defense, midfielders and wingers (slightly)


however Croatia will have to beat both England and the ref just like in the Russia game

 

Croatia's gk didn't look good. Only your mid is better.

 

Already with excuses I see? What did the referee do wrong against Russia?

 

Gave them basically zero yellow cards and us several even though they had more fouls and us more possession...

I don’t blame him for wanting to make it out of the stadium and Russia above, it is Putin after all but it’s annoying being a small country and the calls always going the other way (granted some are warranted, Vida shirt off, Pivarić hand ball etc)

I think the WC champion will be the winner of the other semi-final. No hate to the two countries here I just think both of those teams are better than either of these teams. That being said, anything can happen . While I think that Croatia has the man-for-man better team I think the snaggletooths play a better team game so I'll give them the edge.

 

The snaggletooths

 

Some questions for you English fellas here

I'd expect Marx to know the Hammers question, after all he lived in London for over 30 years.

 

The outcome will probably be similar to this. :howler:

 

Past England competitive games v Hırvatistan:

June 21, 2004 – ENGLAND WON 4-2 (Euro 2004)
October 11, 2006 – ENGLAND LOST 0-2 (Euro 2008 qualifying)
November 21, 2007 – ENGLAND LOST 2-3 (Euro 2008 qualifying)
September 10, 2008 – ENGLAND WON 4-1 (World Cup 2010 qualifying)
September 9, 2009 – ENGLAND WON 5-1 (World Cup 2010 qualifying)

so they will either score at least 4 or concede at least 2...good to know

 

We all know which one of those it's not gonna be.

 

I haven't watched England yet, but Croatia were unimpressive and England seem to have an awesome spirit behind them. I would not bet on this game.

 

Anything can happen tomorrow. But England team spirit is better than Croatia.

 

I don’t think we’ll be tired. By the 115 minute everyone will show some fatigue most of these guys had 5 days off from the Denmark game and most didn’t play against Iceland too. More concerned about the health of Subasic and Vrsaljko.

 

he's from a German-Swiss town.....shame he did not want to play for the nation who made him the player he is.

But Croatia are still in need of another Brazilian striker.

Rakitic is Croatian.

His skill and heart, is all natural Croatian.

#itsinourdna roud:

As for you, when pakistan cracks the top 200 of world football, give us a call. at:

 

Let's get real here. How many of Croatia's team won the league last year? Was it a record breaking year for them?

A couple of Madrid players, 1 Barca, and then Serie A at best. The Serie A with the worst Italian players in an era.

We haven't even used our secret weapon yet,

 

Croatian fanboys are erupting out of the armchairs right now.

They're screaming "Mario Mandzukic, you *insert racist remark*".

The guy has 10 goals in 42, Sit down.

 

 

I don't think I know a single England player but knowing they play kick and rush they must be fitter than those tired Croatians so I'll go with the former.

 

England have definitely got this. Can't lose it from here...especially not to a minnow.
