Football World Cup - Russia 2018

[ozboz]

Was a good game , but I’d rather Belgium would have won,but in the event on Sunday........couldn’t get much better than to beat France !,,,

A game worthy of a final.

Pace and skill with a lot of passion displayed by both sides.

France deserved their victory.

And it was only a tenner I lost.

Hmm. France vs... in the final.

Food for thought.

Seconded! Well apart from the money bit.....

I feel really old. I was talking to someone at work today about how the 1990 World Cup was the first that I was able to watch in the pub. Then I realised my girlfriend wasn't even born at the time.

Agree re a game worthy of a final.

It was a cracking game of footy that was pretty well much decided by just one tiny defensive error at a corner. It's kind of weird as to how many goals have been scored from set pieces - iirc one of the commentary bods said it was about half the total goals scored...

The biggest difference for me tonight was DeBruyne had a bad game.

I think they really missed Meunier at the back as well. And Lukaku was a bit anonymous.

It wasn't that they played badly, because they didn't, but everything was just a little bit "off"

Trying to preempt the Sun headlines if the final doesn’t go France’s way.

...Gotta be Brexit hasn’t it?

Have they done “Stick That Up Your Jüncker” yet?

Some kind of play on the two fingered salute?

Old Mac-Ron Ald Had A F...no that doesn’t work.

I feel a little sorry for Lukaku as he had no service.

Don't worry.

I watched the 1966 World Cup and her dad probably wasn't born then

England will beat France, they've had their best game!

I've a good mind to support Engalnd in the final

I don't think even England are good enough to win a game between France and Croatia.

Me neither, but I'll still support England and the way our luck has gone we would still have a chance.

Italy played France in the 2006 final too.

It's quite a strange bit of reporting.

Badly reported by the beeb, but I think what they meant was, “Tonight’s game (Belgium v France) is the first semi final between bordering nations since France v West Germany in 1986”.
