Goal of the tournament so far for me is France's Pavard vs. Argentina. Incredible shot.

Yup.  And completely unexpected.

Ronaldo's free kick, Quitero's blast, and the last minute goal by Belgium.

Ya that was so sick.

Englands win yesterday was a messy game. Jordan Pickford is by far the best keeper England have had in a long time.

unlike this guy....

Well, I suppose the upside is not having to endure the politically charged gloating watching England beat Russia in semis.

Go Croatia!

First Panama, then Colombia. England has had some rough games this WC. Lots of yellow cards. Top side of the quarters looks harder then the bottom draw. I think any team from the top could win the whole thing.

Yeah, it's an unbalanced bracket.

The finals is on Tuesday.

Yes, quite likely both teams would beat England & Croatia.

I would agree. Im so stoked England has made it this far. They are playing with so much passion its great to see.

At this point I would put my money on France.

Bring on the semi finals

They looked good for a tired team today. Were all over England in the 2nd half. Was just a matter of time until they went ahead.

Was a great tournament, hope the final is a close game. Would like to see Croatia win but think France will take it

Croatia played better in the 2nd half & deserved to win. From what little I know about soccer, I think both Belgium & France would beat them, though. France in the final.

Over the last couple of decades, when a final involves a team with a day's lest rest and tiredness from extra time, the fresher team has had a big advantage.  Sometimes the outcome is a blowout.

Was really hoping for an England France final, but no question Croatia outplayed the piss out of them especially second half.
