Better team spirit and low expectations going in; but definitely less talent than the "golden generation" of Gerrard/Lampard et al. Owen was great for England in '98, btw ...
Lol ... and that's about as close as he gets!
Nice composure for the goal ... Mbappe could have used that kind of composure yesterday!
Martinez has had his critics, god knows ... but they (me, too, lol) are shutting-up around now.
I wonder what Thierry Henry's role is; it's funny to see him "dressing down" like this as Martinez' #2 ...
Meta if the France-England final ends up materializing the song they will be playing is this one:

Croatia has 67% possession and Russia has twice as many fouls through 67 minutes. Russia again playing for PKs
Could they have done otherwise, lol? Croatia is far more technically-gifted ....
Croatia will goal in overtime you will see!
If there is one thing I cannot stand anymore watching the WC it's that Apple commercial with the old lady singing... She did not know how to sing 40 years ago, why would they think she could sing now????

EB I do not know the stats but that is a normal game for the Dutch which usually qualify
What an end of game! Crazy. But by the best team won. No doubt.
Really interesting semi final!
Cheers,
I am very relieved that Croatia won that game because I would not have been able to take watching the Russians play another game in this tournament. However, you have to say that their strategy of playing for penalty kicks worked for two straight knockout games. The problem is that if you play for PKs you have to win PKs, and they could not execute on that part of the strategy.
Semifinals:
France 3, Belgium 2
England 2, Croatia 1
Final:
France 3, England 1 - France wins Battle of Waterloo rematch; over 200 years later, France finally avenges their last major defeat by the British.

What were Donald Trump & Dana Rohrabacher doing sitting in the stands & waiving the Russian flag during the game?? Who was that sitting with them? It looked like Devin Nunes.
I think that the Russian team exceeded all what people were expecting from them. If Canada could do the same in 2026 it would be like if we won the cup.
