England 2-1

For the fans not watching the games, remember SDN79 proper pick is England. No I haven't watched them play a game

But I saw Croatia, they had a few speedy offensively talented players but the back end were quite lazy and deficient. A well disciplined and balanced squad will knock them out

except Croatia doesn't have "speed" on offense. Rakitic, Modric, Manduzkic, Rebic, none of these guys are fast. their fastest players are Persic and Vrajajajjaisko lol, but neither would be considered speedsters.

and their backfield might not be greatest, but it's held up, they only gave up 2 goals in their first 4 games. they are big and physical, especially with their midfield and forwards and wings, and have good play makers and guys who can finish.

their biggest issues in this game will be Harry Kane, especially in the air. their CBs are basically 6'1-6'2, Kane can have a great game. i'll take England, but they are going to have a tough time against France.

Same I have England too, but looking at 3-2.

I hope its France and England. What a final would that be.

England is pretty young and inexperienced. Most of their top guys, this is either their first WC or first WC where they are actually starting / seeing minutes. Kane, Sterling, Alli, and many others....

But they've had a pretty easy road, Brazil vs England almost looking like a lock now.

This dude with his "lock" pick of Brazil telling ME about the beautiful game?
