FIFA World Cup 2018

[Finnice]

Dang. I don't bite my nails. I wish I would now. And Mr. Finnice needs some more wishky.

 

[Buzz]

If this goes to PKs I will never forgive either team! LOL

 

[Lorac]

Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[quartz]

Oh my goodness!

 

[Lara]

Got to admit they deserved it though. Freaking persistent.

Relentless!

YOWZERS!!!

 

[SHARPIE]

I hate football, it can **** off. Back to Rugby where I can legitimately hate England and want them to lose.

Byeeee! Bonne Chance France! ??

 

[Lorac]

OK England have to just throw everything at the Croatians now!!

 

[Vagabond]

Dolazi li kući?

 

[quartz]

Well, that was more interesting than yesterday’s match.

 

[allezfred]

Wheeeeee!

Glad the team that has never been in a World Cup Final makes it. Small countries rock!

 

[SHARPIE]

Wheeeeee!

That’s quite twatty tbh.

 

[Finnice]

F**k

 

[Lorac]

England had opportunities in the 1st half to get a couple more and didn't - Croatia are like a terrier - they dig in and won't let go.

Heartbreak for the boys - but they took us on a ride we never expected.

Congrats Croatia - the question is can they repeat against France - they must be exhausted.

 

[beepbeep]

Holeee, sh!t


It’s not coming home, but I do love an underdog story.

 

[oleada]

Sorry, English FSUers though I love you all very much, I had to root for Croatia I’m a sore loser and I like Croatia. I will enjoy your lovely country for the next few days. Semi finals is a great result and you have a lot to be proud of.

Croatia I will be genuinely happy whoever wins it but I will be rooting for France as we will be in Paris this weekend!

 

[alexikeguchi]

So sorry for all the England fans here... My pet birds are making mournful sounds too.

 

[allezfred]

That’s quite twatty tbh.

I know. Sorry.

 

[SHARPIE]

Everyone can f**k off.

To be fair though, they should have killed it at least 3-0 in the first half.

 

[Lorac]

I never see the point of the 3rd/4th play off - both teams are heartbroken at not making the final and really couldn't care less about that game. Will both teams put out their subs again!!

 

[Buzz]

Oh dang nabbit

 

[allezfred]

Sad for the English players and manager and all the FSUers here who were supporting England.

 

[quartz]

((((Hugs to England and all their fans))))

If you change the channel to ITV+1 there’s still a chance it’s coming home.

I think it's worthwhile when the host country is involved. German fans were very excited about the match in 2006, sort of one last chance to party before the lights were turned off. And I think Brazil fans were eager to salvage some pride last time, though it ended up not working out that way.

Respect to Croatia for making the final and I won't be unhappy at all if they manage to win, but I'm rooting for France.

Spoiler - it doesn’t.

Tough day - first Federer goes out of Wimbledon 13-11 in the 5th set after being 2 sets up and having a match point in the 3rd and now England fail to make the WC final. No sport for me on Sunday me thinks!!

On the one hand, I agree. On the other hand, I think that it would de-value a third place (and fourth place) if they didn't play it. A bronze medal on a world stage is nothing to sneeze at, neither is a 4th place.


I'll be rooting for Croatia as they're the underdog and have so much passion and willpower but if France makes it, it'll be okay, too (unless they play bad and only win because they get lucky, of course).

In Ireland they have comedians do commentary and punditry for the 3rd place play-off.
