IT ISN'T COMING HOME

 

[NewlyRetired]

fun game over all. 

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I'm spent.

 

[gianmarco]

And the classic 2nd team England/Belgium rematch dream is alive!

 

[Kafka]

YGTK

YouGotTwoKroatia?

 

[Scoresman]

Good riddance.  That "it's coming home" crap is just as bad as "America's Team".  

 

[Christo]

Come on, England  :(

 

[Eephus]

Four more years of hurt

 

[B Maverick]

Was hoping Croatia Belgium but Croatia France could be good.

England Belgium rematch for 3rd...

 

[Jobber]

England needs to work on finishing. 10 misses.

 

[need2know]

After that first goal , Croatia dominated.  2 shots on goal for England in 124 minutes.

 

[Short Corner]

I absolutely hate when a keeper catches the ball then just lies down for no other reason then to waste time.  Asinine what keepers get away with.

Please.  England was dribbling off into space well after the whistle when they were up.  They tried to win 1-0 and it came back to bite them in the ###.

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Meh.  Doesn’t matter.  Once Trump gets done pissing all over  NATO for no reason, the UK won’t be our ally any way.

 

[Capella]

it’s not coming home 

 

[AAABatteries]

Croatia the better side today.  France will crush them.  

England blew a few chances early - should have extended the lead.  Hope France kills them.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Wow - if you thought the first Belgium-England game seemed meaningless...

Anyway go France.

-QG

 

[GregR]

:(

 

[gianmarco]

The Golden generation of the 2nd smallest nation has a chance to bring it home in a Volkswagen.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

If I got this geeked up for non-USMNT teams, I don't know if I'll be able to handle them qualifying for the WC again.

 

[Capella]

Guess I should cancel those reservations imo 

 

[msommer]

England needs to work on finishing. 10 misses.

Trippier finished early

 

[QuizGuy66]

Though Croatia coach Jimmy Connors is happy.

-QG

 

[Chaos Commish]

I hate soccer. And I hate you too.

 

[Kafka]

Was hoping Croatia Belgium but Croatia France could be good.

England Belgium rematch for 3rd...

Croatia-France rematch from '98

 

[GregR]

Wow - if you thought the first Belgium-England game seemed meaningless...

Anyway go France.

-QG

Mord ta langue.

 

[gianmarco]

Especially impressive on tired legs and 3 straight matches in extra time.

 

[B Maverick]

Please.  England was dribbling off into space well after the whistle when they were up.  They tried to win 1-0 and it came back to bite them in the ###.

All keepers do it.  Hate it in the EPL, hate it in the WC.  

Don't like players kicking the ball away after the whistle either.  

 

[NewlyRetired]

We should all for 24 hours change our screen names to be Croatia - NewlyRetiredic

[gianmarco]

Trippier finished early

So did I.

 

[Jaysus]

Guess I should cancel those reservations imo 

change them to Saturday

 

[Capella]

omg they have to play a third-place game. What a kick in the nuts. 

 

[Eephus]

Croatia-France rematch from '98

Stephane Guivarc'h ain't walking through that door

 

[msommer]

BREXIT 2.0!!!

 

[The Gator]

Guess I should cancel those reservations imo 

No way.

Go and keep asking "when's the England game?"

 

[NewlyRetired]

All keepers do it.  Hate it in the EPL, hate it in the WC.  

Don't like players kicking the ball away after the whistle either.  

and like many things in soccer, we have a rule to prevent this but the refs almost never call it.

 

[gianmarco]

We should all for 24 hours change our screen names to be Croatia - NewlyRetiredic

Then how will we tell each other apart if we all have that same name?

 

[otello]

Croatia can beat France.  Don’t know if they will.

 

[Slapdash]

I've only caught the second half of extra time in english and I'm already tired of hearing Croatia is the 2nd smallest nation to make a WC final

 

[Sinn Fein]

Goals By Club

Tottenham Hotspur (ENG) - 12

Pyrrhic victory...

 

[NewlyRetired]

Croatia can beat France.  Don’t know if they will.

I will be cheering for them.  It would be nice to see a new country win.

 

[Jaysus]

so a team that could not beat Russia is in the finals final, huh?  Neat.

P.S. I agree with Chaos Commish

 

[Kafka]

it’s not coming home 

They're coming home

 

[Capella]

No way.

Go and keep asking "when's the England game?"

 might do this 

 

[Sinn Fein]

France will win by 3

 

[Ned]

France will win by 3

It always comes down to the kickers. 

 

[Sand]

It always comes down to the kickers. 

:reported:

This is a bannable offense.

 

[B Maverick]

and like many things in soccer, we have a rule to prevent this but the refs almost never call it.

Time wasting yes. but a rule against a keeper catching the ball and falling over for now reason?  Never have seen it called.  Keepers get away with so much.  

Did they change the rule on how long they can hold the ball?  Seems like its getting longer and longer.

I've only caught the second half of extra time in english and I'm already tired of hearing Croatia is the 2nd smallest nation to make a WC final

Makes me glad I didn't have the sound on...

 

[Eephus]

They beat the second youngest squad in the tournament  

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

They are?
