Taking into account all the errors being made by Referees (VAR) protecting some national teams, I don't think France will be able to beat Argentina.
I saw that they were a little advantage over the mistakes but we had a huge Mbappe this afternoon!
Messi is not the best player in the world as some commentators say, he has only one goal in 4 games! Cristiano Ronaldo is already 4 out of 3M against Spain

Kane has 5 in 2 games. Best in the world!

@ruby2003 France are small favourites here for me as they have better structued team. BUt I agree, not a single on of them have showed anything great so far. But as I sad, Im going for Argentina as it would be epic to see Messi v Ronaldo h2h on World Cup.
-
@majstor-matt It would've been epic, pity they're both out..
@ruby2003 Yeah, I guessed that they will meet, but not on a pitch, they met on airport waiting for plane for home..
Big day for Croatia today, COME ON guys, lets repeat something like that magical 1998!!

Btw did you guys know, Lillian Thuram played 142 times (over 14 years) for France National Team, he scored only 2 goals. Those 2 against Croatia in Semifinal of World Cup 1998

@deif-13 nan, but I took an example between the 2 best on their CDM performance, 1 it's too weak. After watching the club performance and Kane is out of play there.
I still have great doubt about Messi out of Barcelona, I wonder if he would not score 2x less goal in a smaller club! Besides, that's probably why he stays there ... -
Probably lost 2 years of my life today, and my nails are done, kaput!! BRAVO SUBAŠIĆ!! What a win! BRAVO Croatia!! Finally we win one dramatic game like this that we usually lose.. Now or never guys, I can see this team going all the way, as much crazy as that sounds...
Now, the host, Russia. Cant wait for the game.. AJMOOOO! HRVATSKA!!

That was a weird game, your midfield seemed to lose their normal efficiency. And the whole team seemed to not to be firing on all the cylinders they were in the group stages. But keeping calm under penalties and against Kasper (has a good record in this) is an achievement. I also still believe you have a chance but need to go up a gear.

@hans-orf Extremely tough game. Denmark was fantastic in 2nd half. Our players said after the game that temperature was really high and that there was sever drought in the air. Also psychologically this was very very hard for our players, specially for this generation as they never passed this stage of the tournament and we have players who surelly have quality for that.
BUt all in all, despite the fact that I lost my nails and nerves, Im happy they won this way, because this could be an epic positive boost for their moral. Im sure next game in Sochi they will play much much better.

@majstor-matt finnaly they produce a fantastic game.they did it.now they can go along maybe until the end.go croatia allll the way.
-
The comebacks from both Croatia (even if only on penos) and Belgium have been noteworthy. But Brazil are peaking at the right time. Maybe we will see the rare site of a non-Euro winner in a European based World Cup.
But if that hard working midfield of Croatia can get the gears grinding again, who knows.
England will probably get past Columbia and it will be a close game v Sweden.

32 teams started the journey, only 8 remains...COME ON CROATIAAA!

@marjan2241 Problem with us is as it is in almost every sport. We are capable to win against almost anyone, but also lose against anyone
But I am sure players are aware of the chance they have now and that they will give everything they have against Russia. They have broken the curse of the first knockout match, specially on penalties in dramatic circumstances (we always lost thos matches before) so Im sure they are much much more morally balanced now All in all, cannot wait for Saturday!

And your second point sounds like Liverpool at times, and my club Derby. Both of which have got to final stages of various competitions recently. My safest bet would be on a Brazil v Croatia final. Although the three teams in Brazil's half put in good performances and/or mighty come backs. And England and Russia have rode their luck well, which can also be a huge factor. Hence why I say it is hard to predict. I would just like a new team than recent winners to get the trophy.

C'mon !
As a Belgo-Croatian, I let you bet on which final I'd like to see haha
