This, and crown Queen Elizabeth as Queen of France, and Germany while you're at it since the House of Windsor is apparently Germanic in origin?

Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

I don't think my suspension of disbelief can stretch to the possibility of seeing England in the final of anything in my lifetime.

We barely manage to make the Final of Britain's Got Talent, so quite how we're going to make a FIFA World Cup Final, I have no idea.

Got my waistcoat and Croatia bet on for good luck.

I think England will lose, and we're still not that good. But we've done enough to make me proud of our performances. Hoping to enjoy the game, and if we do out please don't be controversial or on penalties.

Question: For the 'fellow' (I don't consider myself British) Brits here, who's coverage have you preferred more: BBC or ITV? I feel like BBC coverage (mainly the commentary) has been more snobbish, then again, ITV is guilty of its fair share of that too. One area that ITV trumps BBC in is the introduction... the ITV into is simply amazing. It helps add to the whole feeling of the thing.

It's about that time. About time for Croatia to make their first World Cup Final.

Are you sure about that I wouldn't put anything past England now...

It's beginning soon. See y'all on the other side. Here's to hoping this will prove one more step towards it coming home.

I mean, nothing is certain. But I can certainly hope.

Free kick, Now? This could be a dream start for them.

Not a promising start...

Score! I was right! First career goal for that dude.

RIP Croatia, not even 5 minutes in and England just scored.

Already a goal. I feel like this'll be a good game to watch if you're English

Yea, not good if you don't like England. They're not learning their lessons.

You were saying

Football's coming home!

You're going to have to defeat the froggies first.

I feel Croatia shouldn't be counted out just yet.

Fouling everything doesn't help if you're one down. Don't shoot yourself in the foot.

That was amazing. Just pure saving.

BBC's pretty awful at sports.

Well, it's what Croatia's always done.

I swear Sweden has been the old tram so far that hasn't approached England with fouls? God damn it, I hope the anger management shrinks see some of these Croatian players.

Also: good save by Pickford just now.

Yea. They've honestly been beating the shit out of their opponents. Corner! They need to hit this.
