WORLD CUP FINAL: France v Croatia, 4pm BST, BBC and ITV

[Mac76]

They're showing Belgium v England highlights on BBC.

Why?

They're probably a lot cheaper than shoqing earlier France and Croatia ones

Hopefully Mbappe has a stinker. The narratives they build around some players are insufferable.

Sure, but's that's not his fault, he's good to watch in full flow so i'd rather he played well tbh....

Giroud hasn't had a single shot on target?

I was giving him 100% more credit by saying he had registered one.

The shot that was tapped in by Mbappe against Peru was surely on target, even if it was deflected?

And I think he had one blocked against Argentina late on that looked like it was going in, but those for some reason never count.

Shearer with his biggest understatement ever:

"I mentioned pace".

That's what I thought.
