FIFA WORLD CUP 2018 - RUSSIA

[MyHeartIsYours]

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is currently with Her Majesty the Queen in Edinburgh, he's just sent a message to the Three Lions!
"You wanted to make history England and you are doing just that. This has been an incredible World Cup⁠ run and we’ve enjoyed every minute. You deserve this moment – Football’s Coming Home! W"

World Cup Winner betting odds:


1 FRANCE 3.00


2 ENGLAND 3.50


3 BELGIUM 3.75


4 CROATIA 5.50


Who would have thought a few weeks ago it'd be us, the French, the Belgians and the Croatians as the top 4 LOL! Proud

ngl a Croatia vs. Belgium would be great, first time winner guaranteed.

 

[DaFlo]

First time ever semi finals that don't include one of Argentina/Brazil/Germany

2nd final ever that doesn't include one of Argentina/Brazil/Germany/Italy

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Some of the papers!

Oh how very Daily Star of you

 

[hugh]

I remember when Spain won the WC everybody got crazy, but not to this point (and it was our first WC ever!). England is 'only' in semifinals, what would they do if you win it all??? They need to control themselves, this is not normal.

Oh I can't imagine what England would be like if we won, let's not go there.

 

[blue00eyes]

Please Croatia win it all.. the only Slavic country left

 

[Yazy]

So I just realized that by advancing to the semi final, we have successfully repeated the history. (history being our success back in 1998).

But if we were to beat England and make it to the finals......that would be creating a whole new history!

Holy crap.

 

[AlekS]

Vida & Vukojević recorded a video after the match to our fans

"Glory to Ukraine!" "This victory is for Dynamo & Ukraine".
Russians are pushing the dislike button like there's no tomorrow

 

[mauve]

My heart goes all with Croatia .... Belgium would be great as well! It is always a wonderful thing seeing a team/country win that has never won a WC yet.

 

[Milos-BC]

Congratulations to both and on making it through


played their best match so far. I didn't think they will beat so easily. They controlled everything from the beginning and deserved to win. Anything is possible at this point.


was not convincing in the first half but that goal gave the team an injection and they were much better in the second half. was very constant on this championship and they deserved this result.


I think all 4 teams have equal chances for the final and I expect two outstanding semi-final matches

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

The Peaky Blinders reckon it's comin home

 

[JonnyWest]

I'm really excited for and , would be great first time winners!
and would also be very worthy winners, it's a great top 4 imo

I'm so embarrassed by a sizeable chunk of English football fans. This loutish and incredibly disrespectful kind of behavior is the sort of thing that's always put me off the sport (along with the attempts at cheating and rolling on the grass melodramatics). I can't think of any other thing that comes with fans like this, and ours from England are certainly the worst. Football just attracts the worst kind of hooligans and drunkards. The money that's now going to have to be spent repairing the ambulances and other property that's been damaged should come out of their pockets. Idiots.


Side note: Isn't Harry Kane just dreamy-O- I wouldn't usually fantasize over highly preened Footballers but there's something so boy next door-ish about him. Andy Caroll still number 1 in my dreams though.

The guy who broke the bus stop (and others like him) are one or two, surrounded by crowd of hundreds of other fans who are not doing that and are just out on the streets celebrating! Also, I'm not sure how much it is English FOOTBALL fans, go out on a Friday night in August and people will be acting just the same - it's drunk people. On the money point, it's worth remembering that these same fans are BOOSTING our economy massively - it has been calculated that every goal England score boosts the economy by £200 million, money which will go to our military, NHS, and so on

Also I cannot agree that English football fans are "the worst". That is just what some people want you to believe. Let's remind ourselves of the last World Cup, did we see anything like this in England?

Our fans get really carried away by the World Cup, sometimes that leads to foolish things, mostly that leads to great fun and a boosted economy!

Hahah I agree about this... the accent, everything But really, I think he comes across as a nice guy and down-to-earth (so unlike what you typically would expect from a footballer), he's just himself and doesn't give a shit. Oh and he's an amazing footballer. Best captain we've had since Bobby Moore.

 

[Ausesken]

Sorry but if you have to compare to Argentinians to find someone worse than English football fans, it's not a good sign XD

And I agree with what you both said about Harry Kane. I will attend the Girona - Tottenham match on 4th August, I don't expect him to play such an irrelevant game, but at least I hope he is there

I have to say that this summer has been absolutely fantastic and a much needed antidote to all of the negativity we experience in our day to day lives being British/English. Not since our Olympics in 2012 have I felt such a positive and happy vibe in this country everywhere you go, and it's come from absolutely nowhere. Hats off to Gareth Southgate and the boys for finally delivering an England team we can whole-hearted support and be proud of.

I can only hope the fairytale continues but regardless of what happens now this tournament has been a rousing success, and football is coming home in 2020 anyway, so may as well bring it forward a few years

Congratulations to France, Belgium and Croatia. A fantastic top four and I'd be happy for any of the four (marginally less France, but that's ingrained into me, sorry! )

Well at least we agree that England fans aren't "the worst" then

Fact is that a tiny number of fans jumped on buses, on IKEA beds, and broke things. No one is saying that's fine, but what we're saying is that it's a tiny number of people, almost all England fans don't jump on buses, IKEA beds and brake things (okay, maybe except glasses lol) and England fans are contributing over £2 billion extra to the British economy. Meanwhile next week, protesters about other matters are going to cost us over £5 million loss

However, the smiley you chose to share such events

IKEA store in London at 5pm today

...and the "like" on [MENTION=13287]hugh[/MENTION] video saying "Love it" contradicts you.
Please, do not come up with political issues which are not related to a sport topic, just to distract attention from something that degrades English people and you seem to enjoy.
