Ok So Croatia Or France?

[ToraToraTora]

I think France are slight favourites but Croatia have shown some real grit in this tournament. Once England are out I always want to see a new team win it so I'm backing Croatia.

I think France are odds on favourites.......but I agree Croatia are a "gritty" side.

[aelmpvw]

France to win a close final, unfortunately i think they would have hammered England in the final :-(

[Gromit]

Both teams have been rubbish this tournament. Croatia should have been 3-0 down at half time. We missed our chances and blew it.

I want Croatia to win just because they are the minnows. A small country with a population of 4 million.

[ToraToraTora]

can I borrow your chrystal ball aelmpvw? If it will be close ie one goal then how would they have hammered England as it was close, one ET goal in England v Croatia so you defeat your own argument mate. How is the weather in Scotland?

[ToraToraTora]

yes gromit I agree we could easily have been 3-0 up at HT.

[aelmpvw]

i meant france would have hammered england in the final, and i'm well south of the border :-)

[Voltage]

sums up England nicely in one word " could!"

[ToraToraTora]

aelmpvw: yes but surely, by your logic, if France would be close with Croatia it follows that if England were close with Croatia they would also have been close with France.

[Hopkirk]

I'm English.

Of course I want France to lose.

[Prudie]

Anyone but France so that'll be Croatia then...

[murraymints]

France will win..! but rootin' for Croatia

[Arksided]

Usually by this stage England are already home, so I back the (If any) Man United players left in. However on this occasion I'll be behind Croatia not only because of the new blood aspect of it but a small consolation to say we were knocked out by the world champions.

[EDDIE51]

Anyone but the 'Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys' so I'm backing Croatia.

[Sqad]

France 3 Croata 1

[Sqad]

Croatia even ;-)

Croatia is a beautiful country full of lovely people. I'll be willing them to win on Sunday.

I'm still prodigiously proud of England. We may not have scored from the many, many shots at goal, but the fact we had the opportunity to take those shots showcased effort and enthusiasm that former England Squads would have likely reserved for more recreational activity. Amidst all that hard work and determination, self-discipline, dignity and integrity were paraded by our players. Southgate is a credit to England and the Sqad are a credit to us.

NoM ^^^ agreed....I am.

You're a credit to the Medical Profession and AB, I'll give you that...
