I think all of Croatia will disagree with you and say it is now a dream final.
Croatia managed to fuck up a dream final. They did dominate the game, although I note they committed 23 fouls and picked up 2 yellow cards and treated England somewhat brutishly.
I would love to see Croatia win the World Cup to me they along with Belgium were the two dark horses with the talent to go all the way.
It would be great to see such a small nation come away with the cup, it wouldn't be the first time, Uruguay has done it twice.
What a choke job by England...they played like a bunch of patsies rather than lions...they tried to protect their 1 goal lead and they got burned big time by Croatia!
Croatia just manhandled them and beat them both tactically and physically. And they got beat by a 32 year old has-been (Mandzukic who plays as a second string forward for Juventus in Italy)!
Imagine if Croatia had not sent back home Kalinic - the team's #2 striker - for insubordination in the first round!...they could have closed several games sooner rather than going to overtime!
Well at least I got the semi finals right and even got the exact score with the Croatia vs England.
It was finally as I thought skill talent and the will to win won over speed and youth.
Nothing like some before noon drinking on a Saturday!
Where will be the best place to watch the final?
...Mandzukic, alone, has more trophies than the entire England squad, I heard someone say today.
