I honestly have a hard time telling who was the better team in this game. Croatia dominated most of it but they didn't have a lot of goal scoring chances. Let's say Croatia's play was more beautiful while France's was just absolutely efficient. So France in a way, was the Germany of this World Cup. I would have no problem with Croatia winning the game. But over the duration of the tournament France were the most consistent and therefore most deserving of the title. Concerning Modric: There were a few other options (especially Kanté and Varane) but I'm ok with this. Incredibly underrated player and absolutely deserving of this recognition. Also I'm glad it's neither one of Messi, Ronaldo or Neymar. Edit: Huh. 420 plusses for me. What will I do with this?

For me that's a penalty. That last movement of Perisic was too much too fast. However a horrible dive from Griezmann right before the first goal.

Congrats Croatia. The better football team won. Congrats England. Played a hell of a tournament. I'm just glad I won't have to read the circle j#€@ that would've been the British press after the World Cup win.

Ronaldo to Juve confirmed. 100m € for a soon to be 34 year old. Yes, it's Ronaldo but I'm refusing to call this good business.

And they say ze Germans have no humour... Just a joke, mate. Don't think too much about it. I'll ignore your terminology for now. But yeah, worked out very well for them so far.

Great match. Anyone but England for me now.

Yes, all-European semi-final. Although if one would be extremely cheeky, one could argue about the European-ness of Russia... and England.

Well, deep defending and counter attacks don't go well with a striker who is just not that fast. And don't get me wrong I love Lukaku. But that game wasn't playing to his strengths.

Don't know who to support there. Croatia has some fantastic players. Denmark has Delaney who is officially a player of Dortmund as of today. Also, Eriksen. Just hoping for some good football.

Japan's CBs passing the ball to each other to keep trailing in order to advance to the next round via Fair Play points is my kind of humour.

Yes and no. Yes, Germany was eliminated in the first round. But there were no group stages at that World Cup. Only knockout stages.

Classy.

Not going far in Russia is kind of our thing, is it not?

Pathetic. Only word that comes to mind.
