England started well. They took my advice and actually passed the ball forward. Unfortunately, that lasted only for about the first 20 minutes. After that, they had a lead, and they reverted to negative football. As I suspected, Croatia dominated the midfield, and produced chance after chance. Kane looked like he was still injured, and England lacks a Modric or Rakitic.
It's been a mediocre World Cup. All the good teams ended up on the same side of the draw. Belgium - Brazil and Belgium - France were good games,but other than that the competition has been dull. I suspect France has a little too much talent for Croatia in the final, but one never knows. Where do I collect my winnings?
I was on vacation and missed most of the matches, but seems like everyone stopped betting here. Well, I'll be putting all on France today. Let's see...
