Croatia simply outclassed. Too often caught on the break, unable, until this last 5, to.penetrate Arg defence and too many long shots simply blocked.

Massive changes will be made to that Croatian team, specially the defence and maybe the overall style of play. Messi...wow

When he scored I was imaging it was Gary McAllister for a brief second

I didn't enjoy that match, at all and in fact, lost interest after about half an hour, turned over just after half time I'll go even further, lost interest in the whole thing now

That was nearly as good as Argentina v Croatia at Upton Park in November 2014
The only time I have seen Messi play in real life.
Still got the video on my phone of the penalty that he scored that night.

saw an article one time, can't quite find it now, but they have Cornish pasties in some South American countries.
found one article about them in Mexico.

A trace of Cornwall in Mexico
The Cornish influence goes beyond mining and the pasty. The poignant Panteon de los Ingles—a 20-acre plot of land in Real del Monte, deeded by the Mexican federal government to provide consecrated grounds for the burial of Cornish Protestants, today houses 755 tombs. The Acosta Mine in Real del Monte, closed in 1985, reopened as a museum in 2001, narrating the story of Mexico’s Celtic cousins. And last, but not least, the Cornish miners brought football—Mexico’s most popular sport. Pachuca Football Club is one of the oldest in the Americas.

Noble was top class at taking a penalty but 90% surprises me aswell.bonzosbeard wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 9:02 pm Tonka 88% and Noble 90%. Was suprised Noble was higher Garry.

Completely agree.

can't believe anyone switched off.
thought it had loads of stuff going for it, unfortunately Croatia caught Argentina on the day Messi decided that he was going to the final come what may.
and the other bloke who Pep just got, Alvarez is it ? gave a clinic on how to finish. yes, he got a couple of lucky bounces but finished well..
the third goal, a piece of absolute magic from Messi...
