Russia 2018

[Toffee1]

Embarrassing by Rakatic.

Kane has been poor

He looks knackered.

Well done Pickford.

[Toffee1]

Why has Harry Kane morphed into a poor midfielder over the last two matches?

I’m convinced that he’s carrying an injury.

Looks that way doesn't it? If so he should come off.

[Toffee1]

Bollocks!

[Toffee1]

France have nothing to fear from these two.

They will cut either team to shreds.

[Toffee1]

On a replacement train now lads. I’ve gone dark. Only have the written word for updates.

Vardy on for Walker.

[Toffee1]

Croats going down with cramp.

[Toffee1]

Corner to Croatia, England going backwards.

[Toffee1]

Serious question as I cant remember
In 1990 did we play a 3rd place playoff?

Baggio and Schilachi (apologies for spelling) for Italy and Platt for us in a 2-1 win for Italy.

[Toffee1]

Yep, its was basically a friendly game, Lineker said afterwards that none of the England players wanted to play, the Italy players where the same.

I don't see the point of it at all

I think they have scrapped it from the European tournament, so as @Ramjam and a few others have posted it is purely to make even more money for Fifa.

I won't be watching and will catch as much as possible of the one day international from Lords as well as keeping an eye on the Ladies final at Wimbledon.

[Toffee1]

One nil to France with the first ever own goal in a final.

[Toffee1]

The BBC final montage has killed me off.

For anyone that is interested the piece of music is called 'Reborn' by Rae Morris.

[Toffee1]

Loved this World Cup (despite England going out in the Semi Final) - the football was great, the stadiums looked amazing and there was no real trouble.

Never seen Putin smile so much as he did during the presentation ceremony but Russia can be rightly proud of this tournament.
