I agrere with you. I was rooting for Sweden too.

But you know what will also be historic and amazing? DDL winning this thing.

#1114

If Russia advance due to an injured goalkeeper I’ll be so upset.

#1115

Oh good, just keep them out Croatia.

#1116

#1117

Well that was fun.

#1118

My goodness. I was so invested in that finish. Subasic better be ok to eliminate England.

guys, it's looking like a France x England final

#1129

Belgium 2 France 1
England 1 Croatia 2

I've kept making predictions of what I want to happen and screwing up every time.

this seems like another of those times?

Absolutely, but I can't help it!

That's my excuse too. The people with high scores aren't emotionally invested like me and you

#1133

Belgium 3 France 2
Croatia 0 England 0, Croatia on penalties.

It doesn’t look like England will be in the finals to me, they’ve been easily the worst of the four teams I think. First game is a toss up but whoever wins it wins the final.

That's definitely what it is! I could be beating DDL if I hadn't made a whole lot of upset predictions just because I wanted to will them into existence.

#1136

I've been making what I feel are the rational, unemotional choices the whole time, and I'm essentially in last place.

Yea you're just an enigma

There's nothing rational about picking England. That's the epitome of an irrational decision

#1139

Nah against this Croatia, picking England is the logical choice actually.

Do you know how many times...

Against [xxxx], picking England is the logical choice.

This is never true. In any sport.

They're in the semi-finals.

#1142

Tbh I'm sort of trying to will Belgium winning into existance rn.

Sort of. I do think a tie is likely.

But as for the other game, I don't bet on a team that struggled to beat Denmark and Russia, versus a team that had no problem with Colombia or Sweden.

#1143

England 2-0 Croatia
Belgium 2-1 France

I spent awhile researching so hopefully this nets me points

#1144

France 2-2 Belgium. France on penalties
England 2-1 Croatia

#1145

France 3 Belgium 2
Croatia 1 England 0

Rooting for a Belgium/Croatia final.

#1146

but you predicted france will win

I want to be wrong.

#1148

Lloris is playing extremely well. This has been a great game.

#1149

And there we have or World Cup winner I believe. As much as I was willing Belgium to win I have felt like France looked the best the whole way and they’ll be very deserving.

Blech.

They wasted a lot of time and the ref made so many calls in their favor and I don't like them and this whole wc has been pretty disappointing tbh all the teams I cared about got eliminated and it's all blah blah Europe boring blah. I hope Croatia wins at least they're Eastern and don't suck
