He should have been credited with the first goal too.

I think that they should award the goal to the last offensive player who touched the ball, especially if it’s just a deflection off of the defender. An Own Goal should only be if the defender intentionally strikes the ball towards the goal, thinking another defender will be there.

Croatia is squandering their chances.

That half flew by. Felt like 12 minutes.

I had some great garlic/herb bread and spicey cheese both heated in the oven though. I am happy.

With lemon flavored beer, non alcohol.

Already more goals than any WC Final since 1998.

They still have the second half... if they can tie it up and get through ET, they could win on penalty shootouts.

I wouldn’t write them off - this is a team that’s come from behind to win.

I think Croatia will have opportunities, but the longer it goes without them equalizing, they’ll be more vulnerable to the counter-attack.

We’ll have a win and a team will get the title and the trophy.

France is favored to win its second title but they could still screw if up.

It won’t be in one country but games will be spread out with the Semis and Final at Wembley.

Today we took a walk down the river Spree and had a picnic at the Berlin Wall.

Along the way my wife spotted a famous DJ who did remixes for big Stars like Michael Jackson and wrote Sex Bomb for Tom Jones. She asked for a picture with our daughter and he was happy to do that.

He also was a judge on the German version of American Idol.

You can sense it, Croatia dominating, but one France counter-attack, and it’s “Game Over”.

I just saw the lineup of the French National team...not to be racist, but I didn’t see many French looking players. I guess France is #1 on open borders...

I hope the Russian police beat the stuffing out of the pitch invaders.
