Welcome again, in this Hublot Forum of Friendship (MODS! ) match day thread. Well, that was a bit poo poo. Instead of great attacking football, we got some good defending, some good goalkeeping, and a lot of time wasting yesterday. But France are through to the final, and today we will find out who will join them, and who will be forced to play a meaning less third place game against Belgium. Croatia vs England, 20:00 CET, 7 p.m. BST, 2 p.m. EST, Saint Petersburg It's Croatia vs England. The perennial dark horse of Croatia have a real chance to make it to the final. They've reached the semifinal through winning two penalty shootouts, but they still played pretty well this whole World Cup. They are also the last team in the competition to have never won a World Cup before, so let's hope they lift the trophy on Sunday. As for England, they are overrated. What can you say about a team that deliberately lost their last group stage match to get an easier path in the knockout stages? Harry Kane might be the top goalscorer for now, but it won't last. I'm predicting a clear Croatia win. But above all I hope today's match is more exciting than yesterday's game. More VAR, more goals, more penalties, more action, less bus parking. Enjoy this second to last real match with us in our fine Hublot Forum of Friendship!

france - england sounds like a more exciting final than france - croatia, so im pragmatically rooting for that

Will there be a separate thread for the Europa League qualifiers later or do we just use this one?

This has been a enjoyable world cup but low quality. How else do you explain mediocre teams like England reaching the semis? France v England would be a better final though. I'm not going to say it won't happen, since I've been wrong about every other England knockout game.

Harry Kane might be the top goalscorer for now, but it won't last. I'm predicting a clear Croatia win. England did their best and only lost to Belgium by an unlucky goal. Everyone was devastated as England would have already reached the finals through Belgium’s path. You are clearly fake news which is consistent with your wrong prediction

I think England might lose, but also that they might win. In conclusion it's a funny old game of two halves.
