which Football (Soccer ) team do you support ?

[Whirlwind]

Bad loss. There were two killer scoring opportunities blown by England. Every sports fan just knew when those were missed, England was as good as dead.

At least you didn't lose in that silly penalty kicks manner. But Croatia? You lost to Croatia? My last Halloween Party had more people at it than that country has. And, oh, those Croatians were a nasty, unsporting bunch. Going to be easy to root for France on Sunday.

Dark Horses for me are Croatia

Feel sorry for Englands youngsters but their time will come.Surprised that subs were not used earlier.Players were tired.When Ratchford came on he was the only player attempting to take players on.IMHO Loftus -Cheek who had a good game against Belgium and was direct might have made  a difference.I think the Croats were happy when Sterling was taken off.They were scared of him in the first half.(A bit like Roma with Mo Salah in the Champions league semi final)Still for a team who weren't given much of a chance at the start,they did well.Pickford,Maguire and Trippier were the pick of the bunch

Strangely a country with 325 million couldn't qualify

First thing first congratulations to Croatia for reaching the final. England lost to a team they should have and could have beaten,agree totally with Pol Croatia were there for the taking.A couple of costly misses as well,it then seemed to all unravel.I also agree with what Roy Keane said that England started off o.k.then reverted back to the old England.I have not had the news on so  don't know,but i hope there was no trouble after the game .

O.k now thats all over who do you want to win the World Cup ? ?

For me as my family on my mothers side were all of Normandy origin it has to be France

ALLEZ LES BLEUS.................

Well after the amount that Croatia got away with last night, France. But I also want someone else to win, so Croatia lol However I suspect Croatia may win it. Two decent teams.

Think France deserve it , overall they have the better team and deserve a break after the euro's

Well, I'm from Croatia, so there's no question whom will I support in the finals. I love football, though I stopped following club football for the last few years. I always loved and respected English football, so yesterday's win felt special, especially when I read the English press, predicting an easy victory for England and some disrespect for Croatian team. But I know a certain amount of arrogance and ego must be always present for the team to achieve any result, so there's no hard feelings there. The English team fought well and their fans should be proud, but I also think the better team won!

Uhh, Italy only has 61 million people.
Get your facts straight before posting.

My friend take no notice of our media. Every rational England fan thought we'd have a chance but I dont think anyone underestimated you.

That was a great game though. Strange in the way that I was both sad for England to lose and happy for Croatia to win. Great to see England playing good football again after so many years. Hopefully they can keep that momentum.

It would be fantastic if Croatia won.

Sad - but today the better team was ....
Tomorrow - I was a fan of Zinedine Zedane  - not shure now I want to follow the game live or only read the result later

Did'nt watch game today,just chatting to my friend (who did)said England poor first half slightly better in the second.I did'nt watch it because i think it is a pointless fixture (imho).Somebody on the news  the other day said the only people who think this game is worthwhile is FIFA  ,i tend  to agree with that statement. Lets hope for a good final............

We were very poor first half. Second half was brighter but second goal killed it. We arent quite good enough against the better teams unfortunately but its made people happy for a few weeks and thats a plus. Harry Kane I thought was anonymous again.

Agree.

Game for thid place? Man, that's ridiculous. I turned it on and you could almost see the players would rather be somewhere else.
But, as you pointed out, FIFA digs it. It's a money-maker for them.
