Agreed. Croatia should be a formidable opponent but they were really poor last game and not a lot better in this one

Strange. I would still only make them third fav at this moment, behind France and Belgium.

No VAR in either of today’s quarter finals? Proper football returns...

France, England, Belgium, Croatia, Russia, according to Coral.

i know the smudge is true
We started the world cup in Croatia & watched 2 Croatian games there so got a soft spot for them.
On the other hand I convinced the wife to cash in her bet for Croatia to win the cup after their performance against Denmark, so wouldn't mind if they were kicked out sharpish (she made 73p, if they win she'd have made £70)

J2F at 11/4 with Belgium on oddschecker.
France 2/1 fav
Eng 5/2 on Coral. Spy needs to learn the difference between decimal and standard odds.

Shit. Horrible luck.

With France and Belgium playing each other that lengthens their odds. England's odds of getting to the final are better than Belgium's (apparently), and therefore so are chances of winning.
On the ITV/BBC things, seems confirmed it's ITV
I could have sworn Lineker said earlier in the tournament that BBC would have both England games if they got that far.

Russia never seem to get to the second ball.

Yeah, with the odds, and ITV having the England semi, it’s almost like I know what I’m talking about isn’t it?
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Still only one 0-0 in this whole tournament. Goals don't guarantee a good game, though.

The one thing I won't miss when the World Cup is over is the football related adverts. They fucking do my head in.

I've been thinking about the logic of exactly that. England's odds on getting to the final might be better, but they then play France or Belgium in that final. France or Belgium *only* play England or Russia/Croatia. For Belgium to be longer odds than England, you'd have to reckon that Belgium's chances of beating England/Croatia/Russia in the final are not as big as England's chances of beating Croatia/Russia in the semis. And that assumes Belgium/England would have an equal chance against France. Maybe, but I would put it a little the other way.

My only open bet left is France to win with Griezmann top scorer! He needs 4 goals!
Lord Camomile

Ha, no, it's worth working through, just reached the end of my feeble abilities.
I hadn't thought about the fact that England's odds factor in the same opposition as Belgium/France.
