    Today. Has no sod noticed, or have I missed the thread?

    Personally I hope Mbappe tears Dejan Lovren a new ringpiece and the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys do a comprehensive number on the former Nazi Collaborators.

    On the other hand, us Brits love an underdog, so support for Modric, Rakitic, Mandzukic and the other itches may be strong in these islands. Come to think of it, Croatia are in the final because they have arguably the best midfield, and midfielder, in the world, so I'm not sure they really deserve to be underdogs anyway.

    Pogba will probably put in a fairly nondescript, "what the **** is his role anyway?" sort of performance, but Kante will hold things together on his Real Madrid audition, and find a way to feed latte sipping bearded hipster Giroud, who will probably squander every chance he gets; Griezman and Mbappe, however, will be there to pick up the pieces.

    Pavard and Mbappe the players of the tournament so far in my eyes.

    I normally hate all teams who play in blue on principle, mais aujourd'hui, c'est "Allez Les Bleus" for this embittered Englishman

    Not really sure who I’d prefer to see win it tbh.

    I’d usually support the underdog but the thought of seeing that **** Billic crowing afterwards makes me a touch nauseous. Plus Lovren is also a massive helmet, so I’m going to probably cheer on the French.

    Hard one to call. Think I'd probably rather France win as we go there on holiday every year and I love the place.

    Be good to see a new winner though so don't mind either way.

    Just let's hope football is the winner! <ok>

    If there is any justice in the world, he will pick up another losers medal to go with his CL one.


    But there isn't any justice.

    I'm a traditionalist English gentleman so I want the team who knocked us out to go on and bloody jolly well win the tournament.

    Go Croatia

    He will have won the Champs league and World Cup in one season

    but I think Ronaldo will win it for putting blonde highlights in his hair tbh

    Really hope France bring it home for Hugo. There’s been times where Spurs haven’t deserved him, literally carried us for 2+ seasons while having to deal with the AVB/ Sherwood **** show. Truth be told it’s amazing he’s still with us. Great pro and unreal keeper, best I’ve ever seen at Spurs.

    Rather Croatia win but think France will batter them. Plus, I predicted France at the start of 2018

    Croatia have the required skill to win but I think France hold the aces in this one.

    Croatia need a striker on form. They create chances but have been poor in front of goal in comparison

    I see only France winning unless madzukic finally turns up

    And yeah I appreciate some response will point to his goal etc but Harry Kane will probably win the golden boot but imo has had a poor world cup

    From a Spurs point of view it would be nice to see Lloris lift the trophy. But then I’ve no great love for the French ( ancient history)

    Croatia, the ****s, beat us in the semi.

    Conclusion: **** em both. Just hope it’s a good game.,

    Lovren with the winning header, not sure for who yet depends on if he goes full Lovren or not.

    I want France to win the World Cup, Because of Pogba, I want him to do it for his dad.
