This has been by far the most strange World Cup of all time, and because of it, I'm rooting for Croatia today  Cheesy

Indeed, strange world cup with unpredictable matches most of the time. It will be a big surprise if Croatie will beat France. While many of you boys think Croatie will won, I still believe Francafrica will do it, I may be wrong.
The game is going to start right now, let's see who will win Wink

This tournament had been different from the previous ones.
Croatia winning the World Cup would be the icing on the cake to one of the weirdest World Cup in history. It all started with Italy not qualifying to the WC (and also Netherlands?)...we should've known this was going to be a weird world cup just by that. We had Germany getting KO'd in the group stages, then for the first time ever neither Brazil/Argentina/Germany were in the semi-finals, and now there's a possibility that one of the smallest nations participating in a world cup can win the trophy.

Would also love to see Croatia win, but I don't think they can do it. Pogba, Griezmann and particularly Mbappe have been superb this tournament. I would predict 3-1 to France, Mbappe for Golden Ball and obviously Harry Kane for Golden Boot.

This tournament had been different from the previous ones. Top teams had a tough time till now and I expect the trend to continue. My guess is that Croatia will win, either during extra time, or after the penalty shootout.

I think many people will bets on Croatia too because the odds on Croatia is so good on the final match against France. This is final match and we never know what will happen, even France is more favourite than Croatia. Time fly so fast man, it's already final today lol.

France will be the favorites, and before the start of the tournament no one even thought that Croatia would qualify for the quarter-finals. One thing that can go against Croatia is that the home crowd is going to support France due to the scandal involving Domagoj Vida.

Home Crowd supporting France or not but still France is the main contender to win the Final. I dont think that scandal or anything should affect Croatia team. Today match we can see lot of goals so over 2.5 goal and first half over 1.5 goal is a good bet. Both team to score is also a good bet.

Almost certain for Harry Kane to take the golden boot then - he has 6 goals, and now Lukaku has finished his last game with no more goals, the next closest are Griezmann and Mbappe, both on 3 goals.

Nearly people feel that it could be France taking the world cup and can we expect the dramatic turn around int he final as well as it has happened in the entire tournament. How many are ready to place bets on Croatia for lifting today the world cup?


I did.  And I had another small bet vs LFC_Bitcoin.  Lol.  I guess he's the only guy who wants what's basically free money from me.  Grin  Not one of you called the bet I offered.

The lines are moving more towards France as we speak...

I want Croatia to win, but it is going to be extremely difficult for them. The French attack is on top of their form, with Griezmann and Mbappe looking very energized. Also, I am not sure whether Subasic is 100% fit or not.

No surprises, Belgium won this game as expected.
Tomorrow match is a little bit challenging, France has more chances but Croatie made enough surprises to make this game interesting, attach your seat belt gentlemen, we will have an interesting game tomorrow  Wink

I wouldn't say that Belgium were expected to win this match, especially if you ask the English fans. Although Belgium had beaten England in the league matches, that was because a lot of English players were rested. England seemed to lack zing in this match; perhaps the defeat to Croatia took the wind out of their sails.

Belgians were favorites and I would say it was expected. If you followed world cup you would see that Belgians are much better team, they had tougher road but they played good football and they managed to win even Brazil. It was surprise for me when they lost from France. I saw Belgians in finals, but France were to strong for them. England team didn't play so good, for me it was a surprise they reached semifinals, I thought they will lose in first game against Columbia, then they surprisingly won against Sweden, but against Croatia they couldn't do much. Well Belgians are better and I think they deserved 3 place.

We have he lineups:

England
Pickford, Rose, Stones, Maguire, Jones, Delph, Dier, Trippier, Loftus-Cheek, Sterling y Kane.

Belgium
Courtois, Alderweireld, Kompany, Vertonghen, Chadli, Witsel, Tielemans, Meunier, De Bruyne, Hazard y Lukaku.

For England it's a combination of subs and some players from the usual starting XI, though I wasn't expecting Trippier. Belgium is going with their best lineup, except for Tielemans maybe?

Surprised both teams have gone fairly strong. We usually see lots of changes in these 3rd/4th play off matches as in reality they’re not really that important. It’s all about the final or nothing for me. Nobody wants to come 3rd.

As for the games I expect Belgium to win.
Boom! 2-0

Honestly, shocking performance from England. Jones was awful, probably because he's not used to the tatics, there was no midfield (Henderson is key in this team), Belgium counter attacks were so effective because of the lack of midfield from the opponent...One would've thought Southgate learned about Belgium and their counter attacks by watching Belgium vs Brazil. Oh, and once again, Kane and Sterling were invisible. You know there's something wrong with the team when Ruben Loftus-Cheek is your biggest threat.

If I had to use word to describe England today it would be: predictable.

I want to talk about Harry Kane. He will win Golden Boot with his 6 goals...but IMO, he's going to be the worst Golden Boot in the history of the WC. Most of his goals were in the group stages against low-tier teams, no decisive goals, a bunch of penalties, dissapeared in the big games when the team needed him, etc etc. Look at the last Golden Boot, James Rodriguez, beautiful goals, scored in the knockout phases, and also scored one of the best goals ever in world cups. Obviouslt, it's not easy to win the golden boot award, but tbh, I expected more from Kane.
yeah Kane was atotal flopp after groupe stages he only scored one goal and that was against columbia and it was from penalty so 5 goals for hom came against the worst two defenses in the tournament also two of them were from penalty so half of his goals came from penalty kicks so he will get the golen shoe that was not well deserved the only important goals were the penalty kick against Columbia and the tow goals against tunisia they needed to win while today he looked 5 stone overweight and unfit - as he has for several games now. Sterling looked like he thought the goal was far for him to go they should started  Alli not to be brought on as a sub for 5 minutes they needed needed goals and didn't play Vardy or play offense England needed passion and didn't play Alexander Arnold though Stones had a good match and good competition and i think that Trippier was one of the best player of the tournament despite looking half dead tired in second half.

And even with all that they only lost 2-0 to the best team in the competition. I think that just shows how much of good teams starting to grow.

Well, all my bets failed. I betted 100€ for Germany or Belgium as the cup champion, 50/50, but I simply lost. It is going to be a super final with mysterious winner.

It was a fair bet though, good thinking Smiley

France -croatia is hard to guess the odds , i want to go for Croatia but in the papers france will take the cup , what is your prediction please ?
this is a very heavy choice .. croatia do have a very strong middle player .. but french has a quality player that is flat on all line .. I also tend to choose croatia ,. but if we look at the quality of players ,, french is superior

it looks like I will not bet anything in the final game
Pogba, Kante, Matouidi vs. Brozović, Rakitić, Modrić 45:55% (French middle is very strong in the defense but Croatian is much more creative);

this is the advantage of croatian .. they can maximize the performance of the middle players. but let's say that kante is the best MFD ,, he is able to break a lot of attacks .. with a very fast game and he can make all the attacks that from the middle players breaks .. I am more predicting that the midfielder's ratio is 50-50

Feelings like when no one cares who will win in this game. Literally not an important the play-off for third place, but I would still want Belgium to win this match! Belgium has already scored, pretty clear Belgium is going to win.

Nah we still so much time and we still have another 45 minutes on the second half, i hope England can make goals on the 2nd half and make it into extra time and pinalty lol, let's make this match interesting. Both teams have many shoot on target so far and i guess there will be more goal on 2nd half.
Belgium started very good and in attacking mood this look like they are going for third place and they deserve this because though out all tournament they play like champions and have very good enough chance to win this but France out class them and now they are going to outclass England for third position which they deserve

Belgium win by two goals to nil and for me this match, third place race, is not that interesting. With only ten shots on target and eleven shots off target, this game felt very boring. Wish tomorrow we will get the best entertainment.
