[QUOTE="Angela Chilling, post: 126957, member: 33"] I'm genuinely torn. I speak some French, I have a number of French friends, I love visiting the country and one of my favourite ex-Arsenal players (Olivier Giroud) plays for the national team so I've always had a lot of affection for [I]Les Bleus[/I]. However, the scale of Croatia achievement is remarkable. The entire population of the country is around 4 million which is less than half the population of London and about 6% of the entire population of France. The team got to the final the hard way, playing extra time in all of their knock out matches, with 2 of them going to penalties. The investment in football in Croatia is a fraction of what is spent Western European teams which makes their success all the more noteworthy. I also think it would be good for international football if a different country won the World Cup. On balance I think I would prefer Croatia to win but I would still be very happy if France were to do it. [/QUOTE]
