I'm dreaming of a Portugal v Argentina finals where Ronaldo watches Messi from the bench.

Nah it's going to be France Brazil 1998 rematch and revenge.
Today was fun, but Brazil and France are still ahead of the other teams IMO. Maybe France less so as a team but Mbappe powered.
There's always the chance Deschamps boners it though.

I'd rate Brazil as more fragile than France and they still haven't really played against a good team yet. I'd like to see what their "A" team can do when it's not all going their way.
I agree France and Brazil are still the favorites. I said I was dreaming.
Dunno if Argentinia or Holland will win - but both of them will easily brush of Brazil.

Oh, I wish I could believe that. Granted the last time we played them, we won, and the time we were supposed to play again after that, they just quit.
An interesting note about Spain in Sid Lowe's wrap-up:
Over the past two tournaments, they have won just twice inside 90 minutes. Elimination in Russia 2018 was also on penalties.Lotta passing, but surprisingly little end product.
It only applies recently and tournament small sample size is going to make it hard to draw forceful conclusions, but I saw someone make the point today that the extra 2 subs might make Spain's *wear the opposition out with our passing & possession* strategy slightly less effective with more fresh legs on the pitch.
It's an interesting thought, anyway.
Militao looks like he forgot his kit for gym and had to pick some shorts out of lost and found.
If Croatia pull this off on penalties (can't see them actually scoring) it has to be one of the greatest recent heists.
I can't really be that critical of Brazil as Croatia are just defending so well. This isn't Spain pass pass pass no intent.
That was a nifty goal
Fred, Casemiro and Antony on. It's a shame McTominay isn't Brazilian.
Wtf just happened.
Ooh 1st pk save
Bye Brazil
Whoops. What a surprise.
Modric is still a magnificent beast.
Thought Brazil had this in the bag, but Croatia are so tenacious.
And here I was thinking Netherlands would go through too... Is it opposite day for me?
I can't wait to see 41 year old Modric running the game from midfield in 2026.
Brazil on 117 minutes : "We did it, we finally killed Croatia."
Unbelievable pass
That's a PK?
I was already questioning the ref falling for some of the other stuff.
This is turning out to be very comfortable for Argentina. Netherlands aren't looking good today.
Edit: Me and my big mouth...
