This is often a uneventful match, not fitting of the prize, but France will be odds on

I've always had a soft spot for the Croats , for them to win the World Cup with such a small population and ravaged by war in the mid 90s it's nothing less than heroic .

Wife is French. Had a bet at 67/1 before the WC on Croatia winning it.

Might not watch it and cash out :lol:

All the French in-laws are talking as if that’s a formality

Sort of making me want to cheer on the Croats.

I think us or Croatia would have got battered in the final.

Croatia have played 3 games in extra time in this WC now, gotta have had it's toll surely?

They'll have a day less rest than the French too?

Controversial, but if I was Deschamp, I’d drop Griezmann for this one

He was truly appalling against Belgium, shooting on site and barely passing

Funny old game, I thought he ran his socks off and turned Hazard into a peripheral figure by not giving him a moment of space. If one of our forwards had done the same today on Modric we'd probably be in the final.

Looking forward to it.
The pinnacle of football and always will be the biggest game in our sport.
I fancied France to win befire it started and i hope they do. I think they are the best team in the world by a fair distance and their youth system is unbelievable. 49 French born players at the world cup!

For a coubtry that can be 'non-plussed' about football at times their production line is staggering
