France the favorite against England/Croatia. |
I would give the advantage to France based on play this World Cup, but I think it would be a pretty solid matchup between England and France. It would not be a lopsided affair as some people think. |

England looks like they are out of gas despite the fact that this is Croatia's 3rd consecutive extra time game. |

I guess it's not coming home.
England was pathetic. Croatia, after a slow start, kept fighting and fighting and fighting. They looked more energetic after playing three extra times in a row. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

England had the same strategy as France, except they couldn't prevent Croatia from scoring. France had much younger athletes so that probably helped. |

He had 6 goals, but 5 of them were against what was pretty much awful competition in the World Cup. He had one against Colombia but once they faced better teams his production dropped. |

You know I meant this match. England lack creativity, even when they get that rare clear-cut opportunity, it ends up being squandered. _________________ Character

Yeah, you watch the entire game, and you can't figure out what they're actually trying to do. Unimaginative, boring football.
Kane is slow and indecisive. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid! |

Yep. They played not to lose, which is guaranteed to have the opposite effect. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
