    Big fan of both teams. Hoping for an exciting game without to many fouls.

    Not sure who I want to win the England game but think I will be happy either way

    I think when England wins a game the mood of the nation goes up and the economy follows.
    For financial reasons alone I hope England wins

    Good game but felt like Belgium deserved another minute after Mbappe was wasting time on that throw in. Was hoping for overtime fun, oh well.

    I haven't been able to get beyond Filliani's big hair and his teammate's man bun so I was rooting for France! I like Croatia's play but I'm hoping England wins. Then it will be the Battle at Wellington all over again!

    France was the better team. Or I should say, they had the best tactical decisions by the coach.
    Belgium is imo by far the strongest team when it comes to offense. Brasil tried to play offensive as well and got hammered.
    France's strategy was different from Brasil. They played defensive and blocked Belgium from attacking.
    The 1-0 was pure good / bad luck. Not undeserved, but it could have gone either way. And after that, they only needed to focus on keeping Belgium away from their goal.

    France played smart, and won deservedly. I would have preferred Belgium to win of course, but France was like a boxer facing an opponent that was stronger and with better technique, and instead decided to fight smarter.

    I really thought that after their VERY hard-fought quarter final, Croatia would be exhausted and beat up for today's match. Well done to them for fighting through that and earning a spot in the final.

    Tough on England, but you guys have a good young team and a manager with a good head on his shoulders. I suspect you'll be back.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
