Sincerely hope I'm wrong and I mean that but I have thus horrible feeling France might just pip us on Saturday UNLESS GS has done his homework and picks a squad capable of blanking out any French threat...... I don't think the French are too worried about us but I'm sure as hell worried about them!

Amazing to think France are missing 5 players that would have been likely starters at this World Cup. Benzema, Kante, N'Kunku, Pogba, and Kimpembe. It is obviously still going to be a tough game, but certainly winnable. Kounde isn't a natural right back and could be an area to exploit.

Looks like a very close match which could go either way. Had the England defence been told 3 years ago that they would face Olivier Giroud as the French CF they would have given him respect but thought Ok we play him week in week out in the PL and deal with him. Still a fine player but at this level our defence should have the ability to match him. Obviously it’s Mbappe that’s become the story and is a great player who will need to be watched. And being a great player he could win it on his own, but we’ve got as many, if not more, match winners in our team. And I think France will be worried about our players as much as we are about Mbappe. Looking forward to it.
UTG!

Croatia v Brazil...
I can only see it going one way, unfortunately. Anyways.... England v Brazil final has a nice ring to it, rather than a re run of the semi final last time..

Easy pickings for the Brazilians again for me, talk of ‘easy’ routes to the latter stages only ever seem to apply to England. Brazil yet to come up against anyone ranked in the top 20/30? 3-0 for them, easy.
The Dutch however, will spring a surprise on the Argies. Or so I hope.

Knew Croatia wouldnt roll over. Expect Brazil to win, but might require extra time

I genuinely think we’re going to win it …… and I’m never wrong 😝 Morocco do look a lively side also good on the counter so we would have to be mindful of this should they get through. England v Argentina would be an interesting final a lot of history there plus we owe them for 86

Croatia holding their own. All the talk biging up the South Americans (like every World Cup) but are we going to see them crash again as soon as they face a top European team?

If only Croatia had that one world class forward; solid throughout so far but just can’t see where a goal will come from for them.

Nice to see industrious well organised team approach and tight defence getting recognised as just as important as the flash style approach...
When Croatia up the tempo in attack, they can match Brazil and play to their strength as a few of them like to be on the ball too.
It's nice seeing Brazil chase the game for a change.
Two well matched opponents. Might go all the way to pens this one. Interesting encounter...

The World Cup's first temporary stadium will soon be dismantled after hosting seven matches in two weeks at Qatar 2022.
Stadium 974 - named after Qatar's international dialling code and the number of shipping containers used in its construction - was one of seven grounds built for the tournament, while an eighth was extensively redeveloped.
The entire steel structure of Stadium 974 can be repurposed for another World Cup or major sporting event as either a venue of the same size or several smaller facilities.

Wael’s already bought it and is arranging to ship it up the Gloucester Road.
