·Let's see, but I really don't see how they can loose... When it matters, they've shown they're above the rest

P PoppydogI tried to watch a game, but it just confirmed everything I hate about the culture of football: perpetual cheating, throwing themselves on the ground writing in "pain"; overt pushing, barging etc., and then harassing the referee claiming "innocence"; maniacal hysteria from players, coaches, commentators. Shame, really, as the sport itself is great, but that awful culture is entrenched even from grass roots children's level.
Belgium dropped their game big time last night. France has done well but I thought apart from Mbappe and maybe one or 2 others Belgium had a better squad. France will be tough mind.
Bit tired of the media saying Croatia are exhausted as we should play on skill not get a win because the oppo are knackered!
If we (Englishman here!) win tonight this could be the easiest world cup ever! And sadly I think it will be remembered as such....
Being an ex player and having watched France last night , England will struggle with them IF they can get past Croatia.
Croatio's midfield is awesome.
Time will tell.
Hazard is my favorite player, and has been for the last few years. I think Lukaku is a very good player, and I find him entertaining to watch. He is a hard worker, and someone I would want on my team if I were 20+ years younger and was ever good enough to play professionally. I was pulling for Belgium up to a certain point since I like these two players, but overall I admit to not being a Belgium fan due to a few of the other players. I hoped they would show well against France, but in my mind France is the better team and more likely to be able to take the tournament.
I definitely agree with statements above about this being a weak WC. No single team has been outstanding or looked invincible. Maybe this past year of top European leagues, Champions League, etc. took its toll on the players, and many are still recovering? .Or the teams have not had enough time together to really gel?
