World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 32 (15 July)

[nailsy]

We actually seem to have a half decent game in a world cup final! I was expecting a damp squib.

 

[TheChosenOne]

France seem stunned

 

[paulcumpstone]

I celebrated that croatia goal.didnt realise i cared.maybe because it was a good strike but was definately deserved

 

[yankspurs]

I will say I dont understand the point of starting Giroud. Guys a super sub. Nothing more.

 

[wirE]

Slight deflection, unlucky Hugo

Not a goalkeeper in the world who would've saved that. Precise and powefull shot

 

[spurs mental]

Has Hugo learned to kick?!!

 

[Gassin's finest]

Never seen Lloris with such good long balls.

You don't watch us often enough then.

 

[nailsy]

At the moment, it's not looking at all embarrassing for England to have lost the semi to Croatia.

I don't know why anyone would think it was embarrassing. They've got some really good players in their team.

Deserved and it was a great strike

 

[danielneeds]

Rebic is going to score the winner here, and @Bus-Conductor will never let the rest of us hear the end of it!

 

[spurs mental]

If they give a penalty for that it's farcical

 

[yankspurs]

Hand ball. Easy

 

[SpursD22]

Not a pen imo

 

[wirE]

Game on!

I'd say Peresic is better than Mbappe on this showing.

The Croatian's have done a good job so far by closing him down. He seems frustrated at the lack of opportunities given

 

[nferno]

Shit referee again ffs

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Thats handball, he moved his hand down towards it

 

[yankspurs]

If they give a penalty for that it's farcical

Nah. Definitely a hand ball. Not a natural position.

 

[wirE]

Oh, there's been a while since VAR vas initiated. Surely a penalty, no?

 

[nailsy]

That's not deliberate.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Good, I'd want that given too
