My head says France. I felt about 6 months ago they would win it. And nothing has happened to change my mind. But my heart says Croatia. I'd love those great players to reach the ultimate accolade.

They've got the "savvyness" certainly Can feel a "France 2-0 Croatia" - bit anti-claimatic and Croatia seldom trouble them. But who knows. |

For all Frances fantastic players Deschamps stifles them. They rarely flow.Even if they lift the big one tomorrow it doesn't excite and it's a pity. Hence, gwarn Croatia ☺ |

Same here. I'd love to see a new winner, but France have to be considered heavy favorites. If Croatia can take it to penalties, however, they will win. Subasic has a 42% penalty save rate. |

It's funny, if England had gone out in the group stages or second round as is customary, I'd be dead excited about this game (and massively behind Croatia). I remember four years ago we were on holiday and I was on edge all the time about how and where we were going to see the game... this time with England coming so close I've no particular desire to even watch it. I'll have it on if we're in the house but I might just as well be out doing the recycling.

I'm not in the least bit interested in the game. I'd really much prefer Croatia to win, great to see a new winner, and I don't want to see Pogba get a winner's medal - he may be a good player but I just can't stand him. Similarly I won't be able to put up with the media drooling over Mbappe, Pogba, and the rest of the French team. There's also something about Deschamps's mouth that just gives me the creeps !
Come on Croatia ! I'd really like to see Modric win it.
Having said that I reckon France to win 2.0

I could be wrong though I suppose. |

Imagine this France squad with Guardiola in charge? What a treat that would be and you know there'd be no Giroud slowing everything down and worrying about his quiff everytime he flops over. I just hope it's an exciting game.......oh and if France do win then it WILL be "Coming home" .....1930 and Jules Rimet etc

Hellu!
Brain says France in extra time or France during 90 mins maybe, and heart says definitely France too.
The only reason I would accept a croatian win is another team ... no, now when I come to think of it, that's no reason either. They would pass Sweden in the marathon table then. Belgium got their bronze and Croatia hopefully their silver, and that's that.
This has been a WC that hasn't impressed me, with only one exception. Belgium. I liked the way they played. Hazard, de Bruyne, Courtois, Verthongen etc, what players.
But still, one of the most impersonal WCs I've ever seen.
1982 and 1994 - my favourite years.
So yes, neither Croatia nor France have impressed me.
Hazard put it in words:
"I rather lose with Belgium and the way we play, then win with France the way they play".
Absolutely brilliant!! 👍
So now dear France,
it's time to really show the world if you're the worthy Gold medalists!
🇫🇷

Giroud to score and France to win 1-0. 22/1. He hasn't had a shot on target yet but he's a bit weird so might pull it ofv now.

In normal circumstances, I'd support Croatia.
But watching them win it would be too hard to stomach, so...Allez les Bleus!
I'd be surprised if France didn't win by a couple of goals.

I just can't support France but I think they're obviously far better than Croatia, and can only see France winning.
Head says : France 2 Croatia 0
Heart says : France 1 Croatia 1 - Croatia win on penalties !
Come on Croatia !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the moment only 5 teams have won the world cup more times than England. Don't give a shit really but I might be pleasantly surprised if that stat stays that way.

I was in Croatia when WC started and watched how their fans like us expected little but fully supportive. They had a great mental after their first win so I am saying Croatia in ET.
Great little country and footy mad! Plus they play in red and white!

Could'nt give a fuck.
I've taken my flag down and am watching horse racing.
Looking forward to next week now, checking the post box every afternoon for the season cards and finding fucking kebab flyers.
Scholes out.
