Non event to me I am afraid as so many matches decided by penalty shootouts which seems a nonsense way of getting a result,

even though I do realise they probably have no other option to get the competition finished in a timely manner.

Croatia beat the POMs - it's not fair.

Bugger - sorry to hear that Bobby.

My workmate is an Englishman. I came in and said "Sorry to hear the news.'
He knew what I was referring to. Things like this are awful. It is an emotional/ego loss

It's another sign of the End Times.

Poor England.

so rude.... I just said it doesnt prove they are a winning team...... and it doesnt .....

pity we cant toss you!

So how would you decide on a winner?

Nicest hair, best acting ?

How about counting all goal shots which hit the bar as a half point?
( instead of zero points. )

Good idea bobby.

Use the 'near goals' just as a games decider instead of penalty shots?

During the game, if one side gets 2 goals and the other gets 1, the final score is 2 , 1. No 'near goals' are attributed ?

Yes - just use hits to the bar as a decider.
If those hits are equal then do a penalty shootout.

Redneck - why didn't you read the above?

No more ridiculous than getting 5 points for a try and then 2 points for a conversion in rugby. Perhaps each try should be just one point?

Why should they get the chance at 7 points just for getting the ball over the line? That's a bit too generous imo.

if you watch the games it demonstrates how bloody good these guys are. Defense is a big part of the game.

Like everything though, sometimes you need to have played it to appreciate how good they are and appreciate the game.

i am not big into soccer but the FIFA world cup games are worth the watch and hell it is only every 4 years.

Love rugby and the Rugby world cup games are just bloody brilliant. The standard of players and play are very high.

Shame for Croatia. Bugger the French.
