Who's watching the World Cup?

Very impressed with their Goalkeeper, Simon, today. Guy was a monster at that position.

Final score: 2-0 & Spain moves on to the Finals. France will play for 3rd place with the loser of tomorrow's other Semi.

Gotta say the ball handling by Spain today was some of the best I have seen in any game in quite a while. They EARNED the win today!

.

Spain has the best group of midfielders on the globe. They made it look easy at times against a France side that is, well, superb. Spain has to be the favorite now to win it all as European Champions plus having beat a better team in France (on paper) twice now. That said, got one heck of a match coming up tomorrow. The Brits be hoping to get through but Messi still inspires brilliant play from his squad. Fun stuff man.

Big respect for Haaland. Came away from this tournament a fan of the big guy. Never been a city fan but really like this dude.

My son, Tidewater, Jr. sent me a tweet.

When has your McDonald's chicken sandwich and fries ever looked this good?

I was a teacher in 1982 and one of my students had these tee shirts made up and gave me one.......which I still have and will be wearing today!

I am glad the frogs lost.

As many had, I had thought France were the class of the tournament. Guess not. I didn't watch live because of work, but I looked later at the match momentum graph. Looks as if Spain parked the bus after the second goal...

They mistook Spain for Germany and surrendered immediately.

I'm rooting for the Three Lions over Argentina. If they win, I will be watching the Final on Sunday from a pub somewhere in the Cotswolds, and it will be EPIC!

Got no problem with England getting through to the final as they are due, way past due. I will be pulling for the underdog world champions believe it or not. They have scrapped it out in every match so far but not sure a hope and a prayer will get them through a legit England side. May the better team win and no PKs please.

My GOODNESS............what a beautiful play! 1-0 Lions!

Feels like Argentina is going to get one unless the flow changes after this break.

I may have the opportunity to see Man City or Crystal Palace on 12.12.26. Crystal Palace is of interest solely because it's where Lasso takes place with fictitious AFC Richmond.

The England goalie is playing lights out.

Another beautiful play - this time by Argentina. Tie game 1-1! 85m!

Final score...2-1 Argentina! What a game! You saw it coming when Argentina tied it up - they were all over the England side of the field. England on the other hand just seemed oblivious of what they needed to do on offense.

So it will be defending champion Argentina vs Spain in the championship. And England will play France to decide 3rd and 4th place.

 

[CoolBreeze]

What a match. Two great matches on Sunday. England v France for 3rd place then the final, which will be epic!
