Anyone going to be watching? France have to be huge favourites. They have so much quality in every position and haven't had to go through three extra times to get here. You never know in football though. France were huge favourites against Portugal in Euro 2016 when Portugal had got through an easier draw like Croatia have done. The French mentality is well known for being flaky and bottling it at the crucial moments, could they bottle it again?
Think France will win. Listening to 5live - sounds like Croatian football is really divided and in quite a mess. Modric could go to jail for perjury although you can get he won'.
Nothing against Croatia (except maybe the mouthy **** Lovren) but I'm going for France due to having family over there. Be interesting to see how the best defender in the World deals with the French attack though.
Don't really care now, but I'll be watching anyway. It is the World Cup final after all. Come on football.
What's going on then, haven't heard this? Politics is always at the forefront in the Balkans so it doesn't surprise me that there's division and controversy within Croatia.
Found this article which might help. Croatia’s World Cup run divides nation where football is never just sport | Aleksandar Holiga And this about Modric: What's Croatia's problem with Luka Modric?
As long as Lovren has a nightmare and is made to look like a complete amateur then that's good enough for me.
France, auld alliance. Read up on it. And he won't because he is one of the best around. Keep stewing in that bitterness you accuse us of.
Meaningless penalty lotteries aside, neither finalist was able to beat Denmark. That's all that really matters.
