Our referee tomorrow night is Cuneyt Cakir to referee England vs Croatia World Cup semi-final.
Don't like that sound of his first name!!! Fourth official is Bjorn Kuipers (referee vs Sweden)
France vs Belgium tonight then...think there will be lots of goals. Impossible for me to call, France have more pedigree as a nation but Belgium for me, have probably looked better than France when at their best this tournament. How must Henry be feeling! Coach for Belgium against his home nation with the possibility of reaching a final against a country where he has spent most of his career!

Had to read that ref's name twice!
I'm going for Belgium to win tonight, and I think we'll join them in the final.

Do you know what Tilly, gun to head I would probably say the same. I think both matches could go either way though. With Croatia I am terribly worried about us in the middle, especially Modric as he should get more space than he has in the previous 2 games. They also have players that can hurt us. I've always quite liked Perisic to be honest, amongst a host of our dangers for Croatia. They will definitely be our toughest test yet but I think we can edge it. Belgium have been a joy to watch when they have clicked going forward. They seem more of a team to me than France. Although France do have the players to win it and some individual quality. Would they swap Mbappe for any other player in this tournament. The blokes makes a laughing stock out of Neymar to be honest, when you consider he is only 19 still too. Hope all enjoy and I can't wait! |

I think thinking you didn't like the referee for a moment there...
I reckon France will do the business tonight.
Going to be a cracking game, I'm hoping similar to Portugal Vs Spain in the opening game of their group

It's a really strange position to be in. England short odds on fav to make the final and will be 2nd favs for the final. It'll be England's first test in the competition and it'll be the final. The sneaky loss to Belgium got them here and it could be the thing that beats them. Confidence wise I think it will have a massive impact in the final. I can't recall any world cup winner that have taken the decision to lose a game to secure an easy route.

I haven't been this nervous about a semi since I watched Bareback Mountain! I was going to “like” nobby’s post but was worried what sort of signal that would be sending out,...and now I’ve just re-read this and I’m worried that I’ve said that I like nobby’s post! 😮 |

Not a bad bet on W.Hill
The 2 semi finals
Each team to get 2 or more corners in each half odds are 14 to 1.

No I think it applies whoever wins the Belgium/France semi...both those sides have beaten quality opposition and played at some point at a truly high standard. England haven't yet and the final will be their first opportunity. It doesn't mean England won't win the world cup but it will take a massive step up in quality or good dose of good fortune. |

Disappointed with KDB and Lukaku tonight. Expected more. Hazard and Mbappe were a class above anyone else on the pitch.
