Semi Finals

With Mbappe and the conveyor belt they have built, they will be a force to be reckoned with for some time to come.

Fully fit they could probably win it without Mbappe. As is he's masked some issues this tournament by being phenomenal.

FALSE!

And it doesn't seem like it was a bad game either. I'm too young to have actually watched though.

Beat the Dutch iirc

They're the power in international football now. They're doing this without a bunch of world class players too.

They have world class players. They turn up when it matters.

Some of their 'bad' players from this current squad walk into just about any team in Europe tbh.

Very close to one in 2006 as well

True forgot about that. 4 World Cup finals in 24 years. And 2 Euros finals in that time too

They have been impressive with only two 'single-name' players in that timespan. Helps to have players like Griezmann who are first-rate, yet fly under the radar.

Yes, it's usually something like Christians 3-2 Lions with the only question being the identity of the teams.

Normally, it's an open game with players looking to make/cement a name for themselves.

Normally it’s played by the squad that had no game time.
Would have been coadys big night

Team of the tournament - Morocco. Hold your heads up high lads. Bravo!

 

[Librarian]

They got plenty of luck to get this far but it wasn’t there for them this time

What ever Deschamps said to Griezmann before the tournament must have been incredible.

Looked like there were 5 of him on the pitch.

I think if Griezmann hadn't been available, France wouldn't have made the final. He's been pulling all kinds of strings from midfield and he's not even a midfielder.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

That's because Croatia have never been in it

1998.

I watched him live his first season at the Nou Camp, he was leading the line then not playing in midfield but it really struck me what a clever player he looked. Didn't really work out there but you can still see it, plus he has the Simeone work rate

Croatia will play Morocco in the 3rd place playoff. @chicoazul wheres the thread good sir?
