Arena The *Official* 2018 FIFA World Cup Thread

Croatia by far looking the better team and more likely to score early. Mbappe getting more touches defending in the eighteen, rather than attacking.

Edit: and of course, I post that and France score. Sorry, Croatia.

 

Own Goal really should get the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball

 

Another problem with defending set pieces.

Shame, Croatia were looking good

 

Revolting.

 

Goal Croatia!

Game on!

 

WOW

 

And this is going to be a penalty via VAR

 

Yeah that was a handball. Dammit. Come on Croatia, come back again.

 

I think I might hate Antoine Greizmann

 

I didn't expect Croatia to dominate the first half. Unfortunately the result is not what they deserved.

 

If you defend poorly on set pieces, you deserve to give up goals.

 

Not really. The first goal started from a simulation.

 

Most exciting World Cup final I can remember in a long time.

 

Pogboom

3-1

 

Unless Croatia get real lucky I think France have won this one.

 

England would have been destroyed by France on the form they're showing here.

 

4-1 France winning now.

 

France turning it up when really needed.

Croatia will keep going but I think it's beyond them now

 

Score for Croatia - 4-2 now!

 

wtf lol

 

Whoopsiedaisy

 

LOLris

Why try & do that?

 

More like Loloris on that one

Best international (football) tournament I've seen since 1996


Proper attacking intent from the majority of the teams from the off and the majority of matches have been really enjoyable.


France worthy winners, Croatia worthy runners up and Belgium good quality for 3rd

England have shown a marked improvement and give me a modicum of hope for the future but my god we need an inventive midfielder and quickly.


Germany, Brazil, Argentina all lolworthy and that just made things even better
