SUNDAY 15TH JUNE

FRANCE VS CROATIA

Match kicks off at 16:00 (BST) on BBC 1 and ITV 1, pick your choice of poison.

Most one sided final ever?

Okay, that may be a bit harsh on Croatia. They have done amazing to get this far but they’ve been to extra time in their last 3 games, against a young, athletic French side, that is going to take its toll in my opinion.

France’s route to the final:
France 2 – 1 Australia – Group Stage
France 1 – 0 Peru – Group Stage
France 0 – 0 Denmark – Group Stage
France 4 – 3 Argentina – Last 16
France 2 – 0 Uruguay – Quarter Final
France 1 – 0 Belgium – Semi Final

Croatia’s route to the final:
Croatia 2 – 0 Nigeria – Group Stage
Croatia 3 – 0 Argentina – Group Stage
Croatia 2 – 1 Iceland – Group Stage
Croatia p1 – 1 Denmark – Last 16
Croatia p2 – 2 Russia – Quarter Final
Croatia e2 – 1 England – Semi Final

France’s goal scorers:
Griezmann (3)
Mbappe (3)
Pavard (1)
Varane (1)
Umtiti (1)
Own Goal (1)

Croatia’s goal scorers so far:
Modric (2)
Perisic (2)
Mandzukic (2)
Rebic (1)
Rakitic (1)
Badelj (1)
Kramaric (1)
Vida (1)
Own Goal (1)
 
Pains me to say that I see France winning this at a canter, with or without the help of FIFA. Dipper Lovran will cop an early yellow to stop his antics, exactly the opposite of Wednesdays game.
 
France should easily win being by far the better side, player for player. Yet France doesn't seem to gel as a team - somehow conspiring to lose Euro 2016 to a far inferior Portugal.
 
Croatia are going to take that French midfield to pieces on the counter. 2-1 to Croatia.
