Looking forward to the final. Think that France will have at least 65% possession and Croatia will hope to score from a set piece. My account wants Croatia to win as I backed them at 33/1 (£5 in total) but my head says France

The Belgium v England match should be an open one depending the make up of the sides. Usually in this match managers usually give the players who have not played a run out.

In his post match interview Harry Kane said that England put the pressure on Belgium for 30 minutes. Come on Harry you are not playing for Tottenham now as thats all that they can do, put on the pressure and then fold when the going gets tough. Spurs have won 3 "putting on the pressure " titles over the past 3 seasons.

France have been gifted two soft goals.

Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

VAR decision could have gone either way. No penalty for me as he was a bit unsighted with a player in front of him. Why was VAR not used to check if Pogba was in an offside position for the first goal?

It's an OG, it doesn't matter if he is offside or not.

Must say, the one angle, the handball, it does look deliberate.

He was in an offside position when the ball was played. Pogba was also the only France player attacking that ball

Did he make contact with the ball though? Even if the ball came off a Croatian player and against him before being deflected in, he would have been technically onside.
