France wins 3-2.  Croatia and England tie 2-2 with Croatia winning again in PK's.

France beats Croatia 3-1 in the Final

Belgium beats England again 2-1 to take 3rd

Mo...you are trying to get us killed.
3 penalty shootouts in a row are not for those with a weak heart.
Last time I felt arrhythmias.
If it is any consolation I haven't been very good about predicting outcomes, except for Croatia.  I've had them winning in each of the first 2 rounds.

Thank you, but no, I'd take my chances if we are really advancing to the finals.

I don't like the French jerseys in this year's world cup. Dull, boring characterless shirt.

They have had fantastic ones in the past. I miss them.

I love Belgium's red strip so they are the team I am rooting for today.

Haha

C'mon Belgium!  They are looking a bit better with Mertens on for Dembele.Belgium have really struggled to get Lukaku or Hazard involved. Too much sideways football deeper in the pitch.  Hopefully they can get this equalizer.

Thank you, what a thriller! Watched it in splendid atmosphere in beer house in Prague with newly acquainted fellow Croats and few Russians, who, hats off, showed a lot of dignity and sportsmanship in defeat. There were also supportive Germans and of course native Czechs, who as the 50th anniversary of the Soviet occupation approaches, were on our side too.

Ah yes, the 50th anniversary of the infamous Prague Spring Put Down - good times, lol ;) ::) ;D.

I have to say, though, that in a historical context, what you've described has all the makings of a veritable powder keg, lma0 ;D, and that's even before we factor beer into the equation, bahaha ;D. #SoManyJokes

Maybe you've already seen this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDH9vr3E9lk

Firemen in Croatia are watching the penalties ... Rakitic is ready to take the last penalty and an alarm sounds. Not even single fireman delayed a single second to watch the penalty. Real pros. Big respect

(unfortunately i can't say the same about Vida... )


No need to watch the game today .... Sorry  Androslav but it's coming home !! :D :D :D
useless stat: last time England scored 11 goals in a major tournament was in 1966.

Edit : I've found this hilarious coming home the peaky blinders version

I continue to be amazed at just how difficult England are making it for team's to play attacking football against them.

The English defense is excellent. Especially the defensive work done in midfield.

Every Brit I know, including my Dad, will be insufferable if England win the World Cup.

Come on Croatia  :P

Looks like I am the only one supporting England ;D

I' like to know what the coach said in half time and Croatia transformed like that
