Cancer Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I'll be rooting weakly for Croatia, but that has more to do with personal experience, having to deal with a trio of Frenchmen who were absolutely insufferable in 1998. And 1999. And 2000. And 2001. It took 2002 to shut them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I will admit, I was rooting for England in that match. An England-France final would have been the biggest grudge match since Agincourt. Bazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Me, I'm hoping the French leave Russia more or less the same way they did in 1812. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete defensive breakdown in the second half. Given the way they were playing, they were lucky they only gave up one goal in the half. And they were playing about half of extra time with ten men because they couldn;t sub out the one player who managed to horribly injure himself by apparently pulling his groin (something I'm surprised doesn't happen more often). England simply ran out of gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 The pace of that game seemed really fast. Croatia were relentless, always pushing the ball upfield. It's not surprising England ran out of gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
