I think Croatia will grind out a win against Argentina.
Even with that superb Morocco defence think France are too strong for them

Personally I hope Croatia win the whole thing. Would be a remarkable result for such a small country.

Unfortunately for us our first game in Euro 24 qualifying next March is Croatia away!! I'm hoping Modric retires after this world cup.

This. Croatia are a top quality side, and routinely have the best kit going, though I don't think much of this one: too much white space. My favourite is one I have which has squares within the squares, a thing of real beauty.

Three of the four semi-finalists have Spurs players in their team, but after seeing the disgusting gloating done by the Argentinians after their victory against the Dutch, I hope that anyone but them win.

Did you see or forget to see why the argentinians reacted in this disgusting playfully goading way?

That’s poor, although several reports suggest that the Dutch players may have been a bit out of order during the taking of the penalties.

ETA… beaten to it by previous post !

It’s like a f*****g playground.
The Argentinian who blasted the ball at the Dutch bench….
Yes, all teams, at all levels, do it.
The Argentinians would have gained more from a non-response.
Easy to say when tempers and emotions are running high, especially with so much at stake.

The Dutch have always had a nasty streak to them, they've never been a side I've liked.

As for the final, France v Argentina is the one I'd like to see. Two top drawer nations with some exciting players.

Quite right. Last night's game was the most fun I've had with my clothes on this year.

You don't come across as someone who could have fun irrespective of your attire.

Handy summary of tonight's match:

The side that lost to Saudi Arabia...

Versus the side that have only beaten Canada so far...

It really was. The most childish match so far. Can't believe Messi moaning about the ref (perhaps because he SHOULD have been booked for that handball??). Yes, he handed out 17 yellows; well that's because the players earned them, mostly your teammates, my short skilful friend!

(Plus a few more cards could easily have been shown after the subs invasion.)

For me the French have shown the least shithousery of all the fancied sides, so allay lay bleugh!

Well well well, it's awfully quiet in here!!.......... hahahahahaha

I'm loving how pissed off Roy Keane looks
