Good.

Did not want to see Russia move on any further.

France-Belgium
Croatia-England

That’s a pretty good final 4 IMO.

Wow, Modric super lucky

Subasic has to get called for being off his line eventually? He’s not even close

Yeah France on paper for me is the best team left and favourite. But I think Belgium can beat them and it is no sure thing in any of the remaining games. Croatia England is a toss up for me too and I think any of the 4 could win.

The last 6 teams shooting first in a World Cup penalty shootout have all lost


And why would you try a Panenka on an injured goalie.

It's a quick turnaround to Wednesday, Croatia needs to recover.

As others have said, England has had the easier games. Thier game against Sweden has showed they belong in the final four imo. I don't know if France or Belgium will have enough gas to beat them if they get past Croatia.

England's games have been easier in the sense that their competition has been less skilled, not that they haven't had to run. If they get to the finals, they would be underdogs.

It’d be cool to have a France-England final. Play it in Belgium. Let England bring on German subs.

I have to say, all this "it's coming home" nonsense has reached insufferable levels. Especially so since I live in a town full of brits.

I usually don't like or at least care about England but this team has lots of humility and I find myself pulling for them and enjoyng the scenes in england. There are a few guys I dont love but the team overall seem more like a bunch of normal people than some of the modern instagram footballers especially when you contrast their star Kane to guys like Neymar, Ronaldo and Pogba.

Don't mind the team. The fans are a huge bunch of dbags. ABE!

Oh here they are trashing an Ikea after the win. What would they have done if they lost? That's why they do not deserve nice things.
