Glad at least one soccer playing team heads to the final.
I can't stand France's 'all out defense' playing style...

Hi,

in my opinion Croatia should win this world cup, they have shown very good games :)
My bet for the final (same as Vollebal4life): Belgium - Croatia.

Best regards,

And Belgium will throw both France and Croatia out!
And England will be third. France will go home with nothing.
Well, you both had right in that Croatia will be in the final.

Who will be 3rd of Belgium and England?
England could still be 3rd as in Volleybal4life's prediction.
France.... will go home with either silver or gold medal.

I can not hear that the style of France is to defend. All our matches had rhythms and was well offensively. Watching France - Argentina, we only played offensive and that we succeeded. Against Belgium I'm sorry but say we do not deserve to go in the final because our defense decides late in the game to stay there. When I saw Mbappe or other attackers, they continued to attack and play the 2 - 0, not the opposite. Certainly our attitude in additional time is not good but we still deserve to pass.

I can understand that you don'tlike our playing style... But man, you were for Iceland at the beginning, what a brilliant offensive team :lol:

I have the feeling people thinks that Griezmann is Messi or Hazard, Pogba is Modric, Giroud is Lewandowski, and Mbappé is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Maybe we can play a better football, but I'm not sure about that by viewing the games when we tried to control the game by technic. Currently we can make some beautifull plays from time to time, but we don't have enough talent to play as people wants. Maybe Mbappé can be this keyplayer in the future, but it is just a maybe.

Are french players overrated, probably yes, at least a lot of people sees them as players they are not. Just my opinion.

I think France have played very attractive football. Would like to see Giroud actually score for once though lol

Also, does Deschamps not disencourage diving and just overall unsportsmanlike behaviour? I was quite disappointed to see in the Belgium game that Mbappe had learnt from his PSG teammate, Neymar, how to be an arse on the pitch. (the incident where Belgium had a throw-out in the last 10 mins or something and he casually ran away with the ball).
