World Cup 2018 Semi Finals

[Grays_1890]

Stone me some people really are over thinking, over talking and over boring what is an exciting time.

I am sure people have already typed out "I told you so" and have it on paste ready for if we get knocked out or lose the final. Its a one of comp that comes around once every 4 years and one in which we have under performed in. Who the hell cares if we have had an easy ride?

Would you prefer to be in England shoes played the easy guys and in the Semi Final or home like Brazil having this stupid moral victory of playing a harder route? I am loving it, absolutely loving it, don't want it to end, moments in 20 years I will look back on with great affection, the summer of 2018 and our world cup run, I won't be looking back and crying that we played Panama, Colombia and Sweden.

FFS - pass the rope

Well said.
There will always be naysayers but I for one am thoroughly enjoying this world cup and England are the icing on the cake, whatever happens tomorrow. (Or Sunday)

Easy to say England won't win it and look like some kind of social media cruyff

24 teams is not a good number as you have sloppy thirds qualifying. 16 or 32 works best. If they really want to expand it go to 64 and forget the 48 format. The 64 teams would produce a lot more games (128 over 64), but with an appropriate format and scheduling would only add one game for the final four or about 5 days. The problem is they would stretch it out to avoid overlapping games.

I never had a problem with best performed thirds qualifying because they were exciting and made for some interesting situations when they went on into the knockout rounds.

Was that aimed at my observations?

Dembele starts. He hasn’t played much so far in the WC has he?

Let's hope he does better against Pogba than he did in his last semifinal

 

[Kandi1977]

I'd like France to win because they are the weaker team, and to see Spurs players as both WC final captains

Belgium have the best players, but France are a better TEAM.

 

[glasgowspur]

Torn with this one, Hugo and Jan are my pre poch revolution players.

Sexist

It’s a very elderly joke, dragged blinking from a well-deserved retirement into the harsh scrutiny of the Internet. Show it some respect and cut it some slack.

 

[Kandi1977]

fudge me that Mbappè is quick!

 

[Kandi1977]

You can pass to foot or into space. Pogba chose the pass to ass option.

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

This should be the final really. Two best by a mile.

 

[Kandi1977]

Another brilliant save from Hugo. He's been top class!

 

[alekaras]

"Do a Hugo" is not a thing, and no-one who uses the term should be allowed to watch him in action.

Unless it means "save an unsaveable shot acrobatically and with panache".

Prophetic

 

[johnola]

Courtois has some front suggesting Pickford is a little short.

Most of his height is neck. What good is that to anyone?

He must have an extra two or three vertebrae in it the bloody great giraffehole.

 

[Baleforce]

Mbappe should have taken a shot there rather than crossing it.
