Final was yesterday.

I think you're right. I don't see either team beating France.

What will they trash if they win/lose against Croatia?

A Yugo?

By the way, if you ever visit Croatia, NEVER say the word “Yugoslavia”.

England vs. France in the final. The lead-up will be a dumpster fire. 1000 years of misappropriated animosity will be unleashed.

There are football hooligans but the Moscow tournament has remained remarkably civilized.

Russians cops?

I’m sad to see it winding down but all good things must come to an end.

Russia has been a superb host with an outstanding warmth, graciousness and hospitality and events played in world-class stadiums.

Sunday’s final will be watched by billions around the world and all of us feel a part of the “beautiful game.”

I can’t wait!

“What will they trash if they win/lose against Croatia?”

I’m guessing there are no Yugo dealerships in the UK anymore - so that’s out of the question. I suspect that they’ll come up with something though.

Well the Euro leagues start in a month, so it won’t be too long.

Gonna to be interesting to see the ramifications of Ronaldo going to Juve.

Be nice if Russia loosens up their Visa criteria to make it easier to visit there.

If I wanted to go to Russia, I’d have to travel to Houston just to apply.

I suppose Tottenham fans could burn their old Modric jerseys.

The players all play for the top European leagues so they have plenty of experience.

It’s a small fraternity there.

You know Fox is praying for an England-France final, ratings will probably crush any previous WC Final here in the US.

They had a visa-free regime just for the World Cup.

Just bring your passport and World Cup pass and come’

I bet sales of waistcoats in England are through the roof.

Awfully nice of them to play “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” even though the US isn’t there.

I believe that gif is from a movie entitled “Drowning Mona”. Funny movie.
