Been trying to work out my top 10 goals so far. So many to pick from.

10. Di Maria vs France
9. Ronaldo (free kick) vs Spain
8. Cavani (second) vs Portugal
7. Lingard vs Panama
6. Messi vs Nigeria
5. Cheryshev vs Croatia
4. Modric vs Argentina
3. De Bruyne vs Brazil
2. Pavard vs Argentina
1. Nacho vs Portugal

Missing out some great goals altogether there too.

Good choice, personally I think pavard's goal was better than nacho, but both very similar.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nacho scored against a better keeper obvz

So do we reckon England France final? Or will we have to do Belgium to stop Martinez being a World Cup winner? I think England France final,and the sun will be banging on about remember Agincourt,Waterloo,Napoleon forgetting all about 1066 when the French invaded and won.
Wonder what odds you'd have got on Belgium,France,Croatia and England semi finals at the start?

Let's hope if it is France that it's Agincourt not Hastings. With not one but two Harry's in our team we can't lose!

There’s tickets available for the semi on the FIFA website if you have a spare $750 knocking about.

Combined XI from the semi-finalists (based on performances in the tournament):

--------------------Subasic----------------------

------Alderweireld----Varane----Maguire---------

Trippier-------Kanté-------De Bruyne--------Lucas

---------Hazard------Kane-----Mbappé------------

Subasic over Pickford?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I didn't want to pick no Croatian players, that would look shit.

Don't think there's a huge amount to choose between all four keepers. They've all had big moments.

 

[YoungWolf]

Personally think Stones has played better than Maguire. Can’t believe you haven’t had Young

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That was a bit of a tallest dwarf competition on the left :icon_lol:

Lucas has been steady more than anything, Young has been alright for him but I have zero expectations every time he plays, Carrasco/Chadli is an accident waiting to happen and Strinic has been hooked in the last two games.

Stones has been class, agreed. In fact very happy with all the back three, Walker has had a couple of moments and Maguire was a little bit shaky vs Tunisia but they've really grown as a unit as the tournament has gone on. They were all excellent yesterday.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah i do agree Lucas been the best of a bad lot really (though Young has been solid and provided some good set pieces).

I’m not sure I can handle the idea that Belgium could win the World Cup wih Nacer Chadli st left wing back. He barely played this season!

 

[Alan]

Would have had Modric over Kante myself; Kante just hasn't looked his usual self to me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Modric was pap against Denmark and Russia.

Besides which, him and KdB in a two man midfield?!

 

[WolfmanOz]

Teams have won tournaments before by effectively playing for penalties, we'd be the first to do it playing for corners.

Absolute Gold !
