I don't think he was already falling but even if that was Griezmann's intention, does it matter? Brozovic just sweeps him.

Here they said free kick no and penalty yes (but reluctantly because we have cavemen anti-VAR commentators).

I think Croatia is coming back unless France decides to wake up. That being said, every time I see Mbappe starting a run in counterattack I suffer post-traumatic stress disorder...

Good 4th place for our boys looking forward to the YOG. Hopefully there will be one less russian couple there.

It was a free kick, unless i'm blind there was contact of Brozovic with Griezmann left foot.

Anderson is such average player, i can't believe he will now be number 5 and that he has now played more GS finals than Del Potro. Only lucky draws can take him so far.

More european stuff added to calendar woohoo how exciting.

Samoa has qualified for the wc after defeating Germany in a home and away playoff. Only two places left for wc: one for Africa to be decided between Namibia and Kenya, and a last place for the repechage tournament winner (between Hong Kong, Canada, Germany and the loser of Namibia/Kenya).

It's the same with Colombia and Venezuela in S.A. games. They are obsessed with medal counts so they sabotage all the events in which they don't stand a chance. Argentina on the other hand always participates in everything, even weightlifting in which we can't win even bronzes and they get free golds.

My team of the tournament: -----------------Courtois------------------ Pavard--Lovren--Umtiti--Hernandez De Bruyne----Kante----Modric Mbappe-----Kane-----Hazard I think Lukaku played better than Kane overall but the top scorer has to be in the team.

The first Croatian goal was a foul. Though, they weren't given a big penalty later to be fair.

Del potro will never win a 2nd slam. It is impossible for him these Nadal, Federer or Djokovic level players in 5 sets, his energy tank is just not big enough. The best he can do in his remaining years is win more M1000s or maybe dream with the atp finals... but in GS it will always be the same story of "epic losses" in QF or SF.

Yes, i was going to say that. In theory Croatia plays better but England has younger legs and are much more rested. As things are now (let's see the injuries of croatian players), I'm betting for England.

How bloody good are these russians with air balls, it's like they don't train anything else.

In his defense, i think yellows are cleaned after QFs.

France will be in final, they look much more solid. Belgium deserved to lose yesterday, their defense is full of holes.

If it were up to the english there would be no World cup or even international football. They are the biggest anti-FIFA in the world.

You have misunderstood. It's not about who plays nice or dirty football..

Uff, great, now only England to go down and I will finally sleep well at night.

Maybe, there are already rumors about one player (Cheryshev) getting weird injections before a match.
