Soccer World Cup.

+ 1 moulesy,  I  think  { but  hate  to  have  to  say  it } the  better  side  won  today.

Peeps  on  here  keep  saying  "Every  day  is  a  learning  day"  and  the  team  as  well  as  the  Manager / Coach  can  benefit  from  this  whole  tournament.

Agree M, Croatia are a good team. You don't beat Argentina 3-0 unless you are. England did very well, been a good World Cup for us. Much better than usual.

Otter is crying tonight......

Must say I'm a bit disappointed in England's performance tonight.  Croatia is a good team but England failed to take advantage of their opportunities, particularly during the first half.  ------- All credit to the England manager and his players to have reached this stage in the world cup. They have done their country proud. 

I will be supporting France in the final on Sunday.  Should be a great game. 

K 

They are coming home, hopefully with that third place! Let's look on the bright side and get behind them for that next game on Saturday! Come on England!

France for me as well.

I think they (England) play Belgium for that third place! France play in the final against Croatia, I hope Croatia win and my money is on them, mind! They are the minnows, a tiny nation in comparison with the rest!

Croatia for me

They missed their chances in the first half hour and then Croatia were the better side. Still they played well and better than anyone thought.

Yep another meeting with Belgium. It's the match neither team will want to play.

Croatia may be a small country, but a lot of their players play at very big clubs, the goal scorer is Ronnie's strike partner at Real Madrid! Barcelona, Juventus etc...... Luka Modric has more winners medals than the whole England team combined! So no shame in losing to Croatia. England had wasted opportunities in the first half when they could have been 3 up. Last night, wily experience and better finishing cost us dearly. But they can hold their heads high. How long has it been since England were in any competition not hanging on desperately after losing the first match? 

Can the experienced Croatians now beat a very young but highly skilled French team?

I would like to see Croatia win but sadly I think the French will outclass them.
