See there were injuries from a stampede last night chap. Not that sensible letting off firecrackers in Nice of all places ? Presume you’re ok.

 

1-1 with England to snatch it in ET. Actually wish I was back in London. Thinking of heading over if they get through.

Aye, fine thanks.

 

We were nowhere near Nice yesterday but are heading there tomorrow and going back along on Sunday to watch the final on a big screen, either on the beach or in a fan zone near the centre of town.

Here Morgan?  I hope you stuck some money on England at least EW? I’m sick I didn’t.  We got ripped for suggesting they could go far a month ago :lol:

Perisic has been a let down in this tournament - time to deliver what he is capable of tonight

Regretably, I didn't!

 

My bets were:

 

Golden boot winner - Kane and Griezmann.

 

To win tournament - France

 

I had Uruguay EW at 33/1 and predicted a France v Brazil final.

 

So, still something to play for!

In what way?  Do you mean biased like the English?  If so, yes they are but not quite so blatant!!

Remember the excitement of Scotland v Brazil the opening tie in 98.

As you say it must be incredible to watch your national team in the semi finals of the world cup.

Good man, my money was lumped on France too.  Theory was the team that I had on in the Euros before that wins the WC as it happend with Germany and I had about £500 on Argentina :lol:  I stuck money on Croatia mid tourney and cashed out to bet on some random match that was on at the time too so if France don’t win I’ll be spewing considering they don’t me over in the final of the Euros and we tipped England.  England win the WC I’ll just up the overdraft for a couple of months on the sly from her indoors :lol:

I remember the night before that match McCoist and McCauley was on and everyone was predicting a Scotland win.  Arrogance or just daring to dream?  I genuinely think england will pump Croatia tonight now though. 3-1 Kane early.

Meant last World Cup buddy.  My money is in the French camp this time having them at the Euros last time.   I backed my theory this time even tho they drew with the US just as I put my cash on.

I was in Paris for it and it was unreal. I'd love to do it again.

I want Croatia to win however, I believe England will. Still every 52 years to make a world cup final for the nation that firmly believes the world owes them I can live with.

Make sure you have a few St George’s Cross flags in the garden and offer some iced buns with a Harry Maguire figure on them. Guaranteed to add a couple of thousand to the price!
