i'm going to listen to this match on some english radio (while watching it on italian tv), because i want to 'fell' the atmosphere of a copuntry close to winning the cup. i would do the same with croatia but i don't know any croatian :eek:blivious:

On program named HRT2.Dont know if this is right link but app. is HRTi.

I think I will watch with some English commentators on stream cause I can't stand ours.We have only 2 quality com.(or 1.5 :D),but this two are not biggest clown on TV so we have to listen the national pathetic clown.

Do yourself a favour and don't. I almost threw up a few times watching the Sweden match with English commentary.

The worst was when after a quite routine save by Pickford, the commentator said something to the effect of:
"Sweden can't find a way through to the Kingdom of Jordan"

:yuck:

I doubt it tbh... Belgium only had 3 shots on target in the entire game. France just defended really well. They knew how to beat Belgium - with the same tactic that Belgium used to save their asses in the 2nd half v Brasil.

And despite being the team hanging back & being on the counter, France had more than twice as many attempts (19 v 9) and also nearly twice as many on target (5 v 3). All this with much less possession (36% v 64%). Just scarily effective stuff man...
It may not look like it on the surface, but they rape their opponents. And once they push the throttle a little bit, they can move from their 16 to the other in seconds with lightning fast passing, which they've shown in flashes yesterday.

They're gonna win the final unfortunately, unless England/Croatia manage to beat them at their own game by being even better at that, like Portugal two years ago. But that's just not gonna be the case... Still, the ball is round, anything can happen, England/Croatia can win by parking the bus and receiving a penalty. Let's hope for it. After all, the epitome of arrogance really isn't England, it's France.

to me it dont seems that France is solid.. as i said, belgium had great chance but Lukaku was just bad.

Of the 4 semi-finalists, England are the weakest. Though anything can happen now

Not surprising considering how they looked at end against Russia. Also I've just realized that Croatia have had to/will have to come from behind in all of their ko matches.
