England won’t get that close to winning the World Cup for a long time (if ever). It is SO flippin hard. Such chances don’t come around very often. I mean, Morocco in the semi finals and then a poor Argentinian team! Or even Croatia. What a chance

England won all the stat battles: we had more corners, more possession, more shots on target, more completed passes, the lot. But France put the ball in the net. We failed to score a single goal in open play, so we can’t really complain.

I agree with Moksha. If you have those chances and still fail to score there is something wrong. And probably you don't deserve to go through. Morocco may have had some good fortune but they are clearly doing some things right, too.

Hmm, kinda wanting a Croatia goal now. It's been a good game but Croatia getting a goal back now would really spice it up.

Morocco too toothless, and France too strong. But good game.

Morocco have been excellent, they just haven't managed to get the ball in the net. They've definitely made it hard for France.

Oooh this is close to call.

I'm going to say 2-1 to France. No extra time. No penalties.

It would be great if Argentine win, a nice lil cherry on the top of Messi's career.

I really don't mind who wins - looking forward to a great match.
