France? FRANCE? Not to sound racist, but Hispanic countries all over the world have to be in utter shock.

So much to be positive about. Best moment for me was Dier's penalty actually had a tear in my eye Football
Wiith England hosting in the next Euros, we should be looking to do well there.

Great tournament lots of great games and goals. Hope you all enjoyed it lads.
Superb from start to finish. Great advertisement for the sport.

Yeah, why? Argentina, Spain, Brazil all crashed out. Why shouldn't France, who are now inarguably the best team in the world, win it?

France have deserved this. Been the best team and didn't need extra time in their knockouts to win. Croatia after having an easy draw fluked it through three knockouts with extra time and penalties, had hoped we would see a decent performance from them today but it's been a poor showing and the most one sided final in 20 years. Painful to watch.
So if England had gotten to the finals and won would they have deserved it after an easy draw and losing a game just to dodge a better team?

We did get to "the finals".

And yes because they would have won. Croatia didn't win though. And all three of their knockout games were draws as well other than the final, which they lost.

That is stupid. They didn't get to play France cause they got beat by Croatia beat by Croatia beat by Croatia beat by Croatia beat by Croatia beat by Croatia so you can't say what they would or wouldn't have done. Cause they got beat by Croatia. And like you said England had an easy draw and then acted like fake athletes by throwing a game for a strategic advantage. Doesn't sound like a team who deserved to win.

And didn't we have a discussion a while back where you said that the World Cup isn't about deciding the best team? It's about the team that scores the most goals, something which can be affected by the teams you play and luck? So saying that a team doesn't deserve to win is nonsensical as the competition is not structured in such a way that the best team wins anyway.

A semi final is a kind of final, isn't it?

Not that it matters. Carry on.

Also, Batty don't know ****. The World Cup finals is the tournament. The World Cup FINAL (singular) is the last match which decides it. Educate yourself, fool.
