It is. It's not just you.

And it's nothing but misdirection, because it's not like Thierry Henri got away with a handball to get them through.

Nothing to do with being nice, it just sounds like you're complaining that "it's so unfair!" that you lost.

It's ugly, it's annoying, but it's not unfair. That's the game, unfortunately.

No wait. No one is saying France cheated. They're not even saying it's unfair.

They are saying that it is ugly.

There's hardly anything wrong with that. But even if they would be saying it, my sympathy is with them, not a team deliberately trying to make games unwatchable.

Belgium's Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard hit out at 'anti-football' France

That mentality is exactly the reason they always end up losing in the end.

Belgium have played three big tournaments and have been outsiders in two of them.

'Always' is a very odd choice of words.

Despite reported injuries for Vrsaljko, Rebic and Lovren, Croatia starts all of them. It looks like those were only mind games, but we'll see during the match if those three are risked, or there is nothing wrong with them.

Subašić - Strinić, Vida, Lovren, Vrsaljko - Brozović, Rakitić, Modrić - Perišić, Rebić - Mandžukić (4-3-2-1)

Pickford - Walker, Stones, Maguire - Trippier, Alli, Henderson, Lingard, Young - Sterling, Kane (3-5-2)

It's unfortunate we live in a world in which teams that want to be play football are constantly ridiculed and teams that want to destroy are praised.

It shows what kind of backwards mentality still reigns supreme in football.

Everyone just wants to win, Seven. And they'll do in the way they know how. You should know this as a Juve fan - we certainly know how to win playing ugly. Then there are Napoli and Arsenal who place more importance in playing fancy football.

That's not really what I have an issue with though. It's that we actively support people who break stuff down over people who build stuff up.

It's not just in football either.

I almost want England to win so CR is undisputed for Ballon d'Or.

That's not what I'm seeing happening here. I'm sure everyone would prefer to watch a World Cup full of flair and fancy. But we understand, it's kinda naive to expect to win nowadays playing open attacking football for 90 minutes, unless you're Barca of a few years ago.

This will be an interesting year for sure.

Look at the comments regarding Belgium before the tournament started.

Good luck, you're gonna need plenty of it.

A France-England final would honestly be what this tournament deserves.

Perhaps. I'm still supporting Croatia tonight. Sorry

Oh me too. Impossible to support England.
