One thing Belgium did very well and football coaches should learn from is this: The fast changeovers from defending to attack.
Look at the 2-0 goal against England. 3-4 passes, 10-15 seconds and then...goal!

Croatia the better team by far so far. But trails 2-1 after an own goal and a questionable penalty (after VAR). Mbappe, the new Pelé, has mostly shown falling abilities thus far.

The handball penalty call is a complete game-changer. It is one of the worst rules in soccer. Especially when the ball rolls off a French players back and barely touches the Croatian players hand unintentionally. It tarnishes the tournament.

It was for sure, but France was luckier and scored more goals!Quote

Still think Croatia was superior to France. Shame really.

You're right, Sicilian. The referee shouldn't have used VAR here. There was nothing the Croatian defender could do to avoid the touch. No matter the touch, I don't think it was a penalty. France was lucky. All the same, congrats to France. They scored three goals besides the lucky penalty. A good game. Poor Croatia. They deserved better. 4-2, far better than 0-0 and penalties after all...

Thanks Cristiano and Quique-stone. Predicted badly in the last round (quarterfinals and beyond) though. But so did everyone else it seemed. Except Quique-stone who came very close in the end.
Fun this, especially when you win... Sorry, we couldn't talk about it...
