It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

French team just too strong for the Belgians.
Would have been nice to see a few more goals, but top quality from both teams.

Well done them.....hope England can do the business tonight.....

Right that's it I've had a bloody guts full of this. Been up since 6 and every Channel is full of England hype , even the music channels are playing Three Lions every other song.

Being Welsh I really can't stick this being rammed down my throat for the rest of my life and imagine every Cardiff game next season having to put up with it !!!

I've supported you this far and good luck for tonight but if you reach the final then it's got to be France for me.

Even my nephew is trying to wind us up by threatening to buy an England shirt and wear it out to watch the final if they get there.

This is not some impressionable little 6 year old , ffs he's 25 supports Cardiff and was on the pitch with us 2 months ago when we got promoted.

Good news is that my brother has told him he will set fire to it if he buys one even if hes wearing it :-)

The media/advertisers are milking this you have to say......I love football....but it's going crazy at the moment....went into a builders merchant yesterday.....could not keep mind focussed on what I needed because of that song blaring out full blast !.....let's keep things in context shall we….ok I will be over the moon should we qualify but smashing up taxis...ambulances....nuts that is....I see that in Paris it went bonkers last night....

You have heard of the United Kingdom Dil? The clue is in the title! ;o)

There should be a law prohibiting very loud music in stores....(obviously not for those involved in the music industry)….

FFS its on again , channel 353

Anyway....good luck England !.....come on the Lads !......

Yeah Harry but they didn't enter.

I think Sweden wins the prize for the prettiest women in the crowd this world cup....

Didier Deschamps has had a change and instead of being "le porteur d'eau" now reminds me of "le petit caporal"......no not Adolf.....the other one....you know....:...that genius troublemaker that came from Corsica and conquered Europe....(well not quite...)….all the way to Russia....

England to win I just can't see the Croatians having enough...even Stirling could score against that lot if selected.

ED. Dil, thank you for your kind words, trust you are wearing your waistcoat tonight? -):

England fantastic first 20 mins , Croatia all over us for the last 70. Sat back as usual.
We should be on the coach home.

Does our manager have the skills to pull off weak players? and put fresh legs on. 2-1 oh dear.

Will it be 3-1?

Gutted......we missed some first half chances.....I thought then we rue that.....not enough punch tonight the three Lions......done us proud though !....

Harry looked tired .

Just a lack of quick forward interchanging/passing and the England players also needed to sort out the dreadful back passes.....they will be back because they are a very very talented side....

Croatia looked less tired, which is a bit odd as England team are fresher and have played less minutes up to now!
Far too much passing back to Pickford, imo.
Really good effort though and credit to GS!
