Boggles me why Firmino barely played.

 

He played as a false 9 the whole year with Liverpool, having Coutinho as his 8 behind him for half of that but... nothing from Brazil.

I get he was good in qualifying and offers more pace than Firmino but he showed he was too young and not ready for the pressure of the big stage yet.

 

Firmino was in form and played in the Champions League Final yet Tite stuck with Jesus?

 

Bobby didn't get a sniff treated worse than Dybala on Argentina!

 

I will never get how some fans refuse to admit that these coaches get obvious decisions that the fans see wrong due to stubbornness and favorites.

Just heard on the radio, that more than half of the 44 starting players in the Semifinals play in the Premiership.  

Money talks. EPL has huge billions in tv revenues.

 

Top 5 leagues in the world

 

1. EPL (England)

2. La Liga (Spain)

3. Bundesliga (Germany)

4. Serie A (Italy)

5. Ligue 1 (France)

Is England even (really) favoured against Croatia?  

Not by those who know what they're talking about.

 

It seems as though the TSN panelists are hanging the English hats on the fact that the Croats have gone to penalties two matches running and it may be subject to "emotional burnout". Personally, I could see this one going to penalties as well, which would give Croatia the advantage, IMHO.
