No finale for England I would have loved to see them in the final against France - They should have closed the match in the first half with all the chances they had - With a good 2nd half and a domination in the extra time, it was deserved that Croatia won Congratulations to them and goodbye to England and Harry Kane

 

[BRANDERX]

The English collapsed after the equalizer..

Croatia's team demands respect, & they can have it..

Congratulations...

 

[GILSAN]

It's over... Croatia are through to the final.. Quite a comeback by the Croats and a big, big disappointment for the English.

All in all Croatia deserved it as they played better after drawing the game...

 

[GILSAN]

Hello mum, its not coming home... we’re coming home...

 

[Volga]

Good Game

Two strong teams were on top, it was very nice to look at them. The whole championship was able to surprise the fans. It's bad that in the end only one place on top.

When he was 6, his grandfather was shot dead.
His family became refugees, in a war zone.
He grew up to the sound of grenades exploding.
Coaches said he was too weak and too shy to play football.
Today, Luka Modric just led Croatia to its first ever World Cup Final

Nothing else matters right now... Just dreaming about the Final...

What a story, and what a game !!
The Croatian club had to fight, and was better since 2nd half started. They were exhausted, but never gave up.
Perezic has played very well : 1 goal, and the assist that lead to victory.
(NOTE : we know Pereciz, because Pereciz also played for Club Brugge (Bruges) in Belgium for 2 seasons).
They were exhausted indeed, because indeed they had extra-time playing and needed several penaltiy-matches to get where they're now..

And England....has to play again against Belgium on saterday for 3rd place.
How things can turn differrent then expected.

It's the first country form over the former East-Part of Europe and now is in the European Union; that reach the final of the World Cup, and can become even winners of the tournament. They didn't loose yet. (although lots of their winnings were with penalties).
Let's see !
Who will win the Worldcup ? We'll know it within 4 days from now. !!
