    France were 10/11 and Argentina evens after the France v Morocco game. Now both are 10/11.

    Superb goal for the Croats.

    Opens up the game.

    Crazy stuff - it's 1-1 a minute later.

    Both headed goals from free kicks

    Croatia keeper caught napping there.

    Game needs more intelligible setpieces, Croatia provided. And they get that in return?

    Anything better than 2/1 the draw could be the value bet there.

    France have Varane and Konate back in training today ahead of the final




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,140 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    I’ll go with Argentina 2-1

    The amateur referees on the BBC got it all wrong about the corner. Until they saw the VAR. They are human after all.

    Lovely goal by Orsic! I thought he was trying for a pass at first but in the replay you can see that he meant it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,366 ✭✭✭Star Bingo


    That was a sexy flippin goal

    Bit more elevation says ken. Must be at a place called vertigo

    Don't think I've ever seen serious analysis of the third place match on RTE, a bit strange.

    “He’s not injured, he just went down because he wants to go off”

    muppet… the guy is in tears, on the deck for X minutes and limping off following prolonged treatments to be subbed… Alan Cawley .. a LOI jobber with no notion of what he’s looking at. Getting the taxpayers coin for waffling.

    Such is the cult of void of personality. Used to be Après Match’s domain



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,924 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    VAR.. joke

    gets the Morocco peno claim correct.. no peno

    im guessing bottling not awarding Croatia a peno… would have been a red too…

    VAR officials are referees, so no surprise the eejits on the pitch can’t get it right on the pitch when the ones with super HD slow motion 46 camera angles .. it’s a peno but not awarded.

    They used to but Giles would spend half the time grousing about how pointless the whole thing was that at some stage (2006?) they decide to hand over to the comic understudies



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,924 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    The Moroccans loosing the head…. Lucky there for them the referee with another bottle job, not strong… one Moroccan player basically pushing and the rest jostling him and trying to prevent him going for his pocket…

    hopefully the Croatians see it out… and the Moroccans can feck off home minus any medals.

    Lost him there for a minute. Am just glad he came out unscathed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,318 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    Just two yellow cards and 24 fouls. Good referee, despite players as usual throwing themselves to the ground, and claiming things they were not entitled to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,924 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Moroccans going after the ref after the final whistle again…some more level headed amongst them having to diffuse the situation..

    officials were really decent but if anything favoured Morocco.. certainly not deserving of the Moroccan lads going on like that… enjoy your flight home.. without medals and plenty without class given what we witnessed.

    delighted for the Croatians, team and supporters, deserved.

    Croatia now have more medals from WC than England. We don't have a gold, but we have more! 😎

    The celebrations for third seem a little overdone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭tritriagain


    Alan Cawley and Kenny cunningham. 2 most annoying voices in sport? and both love to waffle

    Croatia have been to 6 world cups, starting in 1998.

    They have achieved a runner-up and two third place finishes out of those 6 entries.

    Some going for a country of less than 4 million.
