    I genuinely don't want this to end. This has been the best tournament I've seen in my 20 years of watching this sport. I got into while in Italy during Euro 2000 when France and the Netherlands co-hosted. Spent a bunch of time in West London the year before and subsequent years after which is how I got into Chelsea. Their shit was littered everywhere even before Roman bought the club.

    I'm American. If we aren't in it, England are my team. Frankly even if we are I mostly cheer for England when we aren't playing.

    What line-up are Belgium playing? 352? Is KDB left wing back?

    Nevermind. Looks like Dembele is the right wingback.

    yea, what the hell? there has to be something wrong with how it translated to whoever made the graphic. because last game it was literally just KDB and Chandli switched

    4-3-3 mostly.

    a bit lopsided though, hazard is staying pretty wide left, and chadli is moving up wide right, so it can be a back 3 as well. but witsel, dembele and fellaini in midfield.

    Between Belgium, France, and England it’s like 8 of the Spurs starting 11. Why aren’t they better?!

    What are folks predicting for today's match?

    My heart says England, but I feel they might not handle the pressure of "it's coming home" well. It's almost like England should win and I won't be surprised if Croatia nicks a win.

    I predicted the last match wrong. And I have Crotia winning today. So I think England has a decent chance.

    England. Croatia has been run raged and they don't have the same depth.

    England lost control of that game completely.. really lost the battle in midfield. Feel for em though.. so close throughout. Leave it to John Stones to fall asleep completely.

    Henderson just isn't a controlling midfielder. It was lost in midfield...shocking I know. Croatia were the better side.

    Croatia must have juiced like crazy. They went to their 3rd extra time game and still looked much fitter than England.

    Better team won today but still gutted/drained. Over-achieved to get this far and put some belief back in the squad which is huge.

    Really proud of what the lads did given the talent in the team. A better world cup than Brazil, Argentina, spain, Portugal - will take that every time.

    Not sure Croatia will have anything left in the tank for Sunday, probably an easy win for France, but still have to play the match!
