    It is time.

    Hi everyone,

    First of all, welcome to the new posters joining us! You might have recently created an account just to get in on the World Cup excitement, or you may have already been lurking around BigSoccer and decided to finally get involved in all the banter. Either way, welcome!

    A general bit of advice for you, as well as a reminder for our longtime posters: we're all here for the football. With that in mind, we here are taking a zero-tolerance policy towards expressions of racism, sexism, discrimination based on sexual orientation, xenophobia, ad hominem attacks, insults (towards a group of people, countries, or fellow posters) and trolling. Infractions will get you booked - and if you ask where was your warning, this is it. If you see a fellow poster insulting you or a part of your identity (race, sex, nationality, etc.)? Don't respond in kind - REPORT IT. It is the fastest way for us mods to handle the offending posts.

    So, with that said, good luck to both sides, and let's enjoy!

    Now Croatia is a team that looks formidable, playing a near B-team and winning 2-1 (and the goal Iceland scored was a PK). If someone asked me today what team looks the most likely to win it all, I'd say Croatia.

    The only thing is that they've never done it before, so at some point they may get the novice nerves.

    Before the World Cup even started, I even said that Croatia will be a dark horse and might win it all (at least make the semis).

    Thank you Croatia, played with integrity. I will root for you every match this WC other than if we meet again.

    France, Denmark: pay attention, this is how to play a final game. Looking very hopeful for Croatia in the knockouts.
