SWSiouxMN Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 When we get to Qatar 2022, France will have the best player in the world. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 Viva La France, youth has been served. Belgium and their golden generation have been denied their shot at glory. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 England/Croatia: going to be an interesting tilt. Don't think it will live up to France/Belgium but should still be a good clash. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 Goal for England The beer is flying in the air as we speak. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 Now Croatia has to chase the game... with potentially tired legs. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Croatia doesn’t look fresh at all. They can carry the play for now. The second half will be interesting. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 I don't think you could ask anything more than what England has done in the first half... minus another goal. Quote
SiouxBoys Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 England's lack of playmakers could really hurt them here. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 England is trying so hard to give this game to Croatia. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 England has a set piece here coming up and no dice Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 extra time we go This game has gone above my expecations Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 11, 2018 Author Posted July 11, 2018 That could be the goal that sends Croatia through Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 In the end England is their own worst enemy in big time matches you need a mercurial player they just don’t produce them. They are too hampered by fundamentals scared to make a mistake . Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 12, 2018 Author Posted July 12, 2018 I am taking France to win this, there will be no headbutt this time. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 3 hours ago, SWSiouxMN said: I am taking France to win this, there will be no headbutt this time. France was embarrassed for so many years before they won their first World Cup. Decades ago to remedy that, they sunk a lot of dollars into an academy system that produced 50 World Cup players this year, their own plus it was responsible for much of Tunisia’s, Morocco’s and Senegal’s teams and many from a number of nations before. France might be the world leader for incubating soccer talent. Brazil second in World Cup player production, way behind France. https://www.vox.com/videos/2018/7/10/17548670/france-world-cup-mbappe-immigration Most odds give France a 60% chance. Still like Croatia. Funny how England was so dominating to begin with, but Croatia had an extra gear and England just ran out of gas. Sunday is the final and that should give Croatia time to recover.

SiouxVolley Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Here’s a story that says the Croatia trip to the World Cup Final is the greatest fairy tale in World Cup history. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/07/croatia-england-world-cup/564992/ Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I picked France to beat Croatia in my bracket but I will be cheering for Croatia. I’m a sucker for the good story. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Great match so far. Second half will be wide open. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 15, 2018 Author Posted July 15, 2018 This might be the biggest victory for France in Russia since.... never mind Quote
SiouxBoys Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Can't wait to watch this exact same title celebration four years from now. Quote
