Re: In Putin's Russia, World Cup plays you.
well, judging by perormance, the Belgians ought to have won... and I still don't get how the French managed to piece the Uruguayan defence twice while not taking a goal in ... GrANTED, aRGENTINA WAS NOT WHAT IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF Maradonna, and the pool matches were against severely weaker teams... but fact is, France is not what it was 20 years ago, and has not been putting on too good a show this tim, yet, it reaches the finals.

Definitely... and there's only one match left to see if their luck holds.

The miserable old Dutch Scotsman can't spoil the mood.
They have plans to close the road - the 'drag' where most of our nightlife is here in Carlisle this evening. I doubt a car would get up it if we win anyway but the place will be gated.
If we lose -sadly there will be tempers I suspect.

Why bother with an ambulance? There'll be lots of windows to smash up.

Actually it is inexcusable but it does seem to be human nature.

The Dutch celebrate victories far more appropriately. It's only when it is appropriate to riot that they will riot, like when Feyenoord loses the Dutch football championship.... then, obviously, it makes sense to riot - but, when they riot, they riot better than English rioters, that's for sure.

We do urban riots better than anyone other than the Mericans.
Re: In Putin's Russia, World Cup plays you.
Looks like it'll be riots in Croatia tonight then.England enters Wednesday's semifinal at +135 on the money line, meaning you'd need to bet $100 on an English victory to win $135. Croatia enters this must-win 2018 World Cup match at +230, while a draw in regulation is +220. The over-under on total goals scored is 2.

Croatia has the more experienced team.

I predict a riot.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
