Quoted from Les Brechin
The one thing that worries me is that the expectation is there now.

Most people didn't really think we'd get this far but now most people think that we'll win tonight.

I just hope that the team don't flop now that the expectation is with them.


I agree Les, the pressure is slightly on us tonight but if we win then all the pressure is on France in the final.

I don't think many England fans would be confident of beating France but you never know in football.

If we were to win it I wonder if anyone has plans for a new tattoo or something ?  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Agree Les, all this hype is pissing me off. It never bodes well when the band waggon really gets rolling. I'm even thinking of banning my girls from watching it (one of them asked if she can watch it) despite not being interested in football.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Mbappe what a player.Has pace and skill and performed admirably in the final .However Messi still eclipses him for me.

France a touch fortunate in the end. I missed first 30-odd minutes but they looked like a completely different team to the one which looked so compact and organised against the Belgians. Giving the ball away endlessly, not following runners and looking panicked at the back at times. Credit to Croatia for taking the game to them, but I can't help but think there was a bit of complacency there from the French - they thought they had it in the bag before kick-off.

Still, despite the luck in the first half, they had enough in the squad to pull away from the Croats in the second half - despite Loris' best attempts to even it out!

A concern is that, for all the talk about how young our squad has been this tournament, the France squad is younger still. We don't have anybody near the level of Griezmann, Pogba and Mbappe in those positions so it is going to have to be a real team performance if we're going to compete against them over the next few years.

And when you see who they left out eg Benzema,Martial ,Payet(injured) and Lacazette  to name but a few you realise just how strong they really are
