Logically France to win comfortably, but this is a WC with lots of upsets.
Croatia had 22 shots against England. I don't expect they will get it that easy against France, but if they have half as many and the luck is with them, and France freeze under the expectation of their nation and the world, then an upset could well happen.
An early goal by Croatia and it could be interesting.

What were those characters holding the disc flags wearing. They looked like extras from Flash Gordon ⚡️

Croatia have a very underestimated side. I'm not convinced thier injured players from the game with us are fully fit, but they say they are. Still expect Croatia will win

Already a deluded comment by an ITV commentator: "It could easily have been England" when referring to Croatia.

That shouldn't even have been a free kick.

I know if I were French I'd be right proud that we scored from a dive.

Bloody Frogs. Never a free kick

No card to the Croatian player before the "easy won"(?) free kick there.
Now it will be defending-style for the rest of the game from France as usual.

Why not refer to VAR for that? It would have resulted in a card not a free kick.

Couple of points about that goal:
Griezmann dived to win the free kick. What’s the point of VAR unless you use it for all contentious decisions that lead to a goal.
Also, Pogba was offside when the free kick was taken. He jumped with Mandzukic (and made slight contact with his back) Isn’t that interfering with play from an offside position? I think the organisers really don’t want to use VAR in the latter stages.

I've not been paying attention to the refs during the tournament but is this one really the best one?! He's been awful so far.

Blatant cheating yet again! Griezman could and should ( if he had any scruples at all) stayed on his feet. This game is now full of cheating bar stewards all over the place. It is quite sickening to behold!!!!!!!!!

Fucking joke.
