21 of the 23 members in France team are born and brought up in France. 1 was born in Cameroon but he came to france when he was 2. Only France's 2nd goalkeeper can truly be called African who is from zaire and came to France when he was a teen ager.

Just because they are black that does not mean they are from Africa

Oh my...Croatia on the attack, they are looking threatening

[bujhee kom]

Who will win, who will lose? Nobody knows...Bola koob mooskil...

[R0ssei]

Is there no replacement for Mandzukic, the 32-year old who cannot play for 90 min?

[aklemalp]

Heart is beating...this is edge of the seat stuff... The intensity has picked up

[R0ssei]

Perisic is the playa

They could be mistaken for an African team is what I said. Also conversely just because it’s Africa doesn’t mean they are black too.

Lovely free-kick from Tripper and Kane misses it again. Goes into extra time.

if the latter part of your post is how you feel than why would France be mistaken for an African team in the first place?

[Night_wolf]

Will croatia go to the 3rd penalty in a row?..if so it'll be England's 2nd PS..lol these two teams deserve each other

[mufi_02]

croatia has been the better team overall though. beside that freekick goal, england did very little.

The latter part was a counter argument.

can't recall if any team has won 3 pk shootouts in a row.

[Night_wolf]

Wow what a safe..Eng almost scored

[adamnsu]

Ohhhhhhh nearly a header

[adamnsu]

England going for penalties based on substitutes

[Night_wolf]

European style of football is boring as hell

[Night_wolf]

Modric is showing sign of fatigue..Croatia have played 30+30+30 extra mins..thats another full match
