Semi Finals

[jazzy]

It's been such a terrible WC that I'd like to see a side like Morocco win the thing.
A negative team for a devalued competition.
Argentina are a one man team
Croatia are like Morocco, playing for penalties.
France are decent but needed a dodgy ref to beat a crap England team.

A Morocco V Croatia final would be a thing of beauty.

Having one of those two on the same number of world cup wins as Brexit island would be marvellous material to goad the natives with.

If that's the final just wake me up when we get to penalties

Seems to me that they must have been scoring goals to get so far...

And defending is every bit of a vital part of the game as other aspects. Ask England against France about that...

'...France are decent but needed a dodgy ref to beat a crap England team...' And I'm still trying to fathom out the ref's role in France's shot and header on target for their goals...

I have enjoyed it. Been some triffic games.

And Morocco have been to one pen shootout, V Spain, who are arguably duller than a very dull day. And Spain missed their first 3.

And whilst England disappointed, not sure they are a crap team.

Has it?

I think it’s been a fantastic World Cup, the only downside is it’s in December.

If it was 30c outside and we were all littered in Beer Gardens we’d have loved every second of it.

Will be some achievement if Croatia make two consecutive WC finals.

I have liked the novelty factor. Mid season, winter, an Arab experience, the African and South American support. Just feels "new" in a way other WC didnt.

Will be amazed if commentators DON'T mention Henderson or Richard Van Dyke.

I like the novelty of it being in one city.

I think they’ll look in future at it. London for example would be absolutely perfect for hosting it.

I’m sure you could stick it in any major US city and host it.

Way forward for me! Everyone I know who’s been there has raved over it!

at gunpoint?

at gunpoint?

Yes, at £8.50 a pint it feels like daylight robbery… but know a fair few who’ve been doing multiple games and loved being able to do that. Normally it’s not viable at all.
