Cynic....

... At least I'm sitting on the Fence

................

Just a really obtuse "Conspiracy Theory".... so obtuse, I'm not even numbering it as I usually do.....

Now that tickets have been sold, seats filled..... Remaining revenue is for TV and their advertisers. Their 'Big Trough'

Oink-Oink

I'd think it's a pretty stable viewer base... for the FINAL...
.... but which of the 4 Finalists might INCREASE that base, increase fees from advertiers?

~ imo ~

1) France

2) Belgium

3) Coatia

4) England

I think England would be the BIG DRAW in the Final..... even though most of the Southern Hemisphere hate England.... and would cheer any opponent..... It'll be good to see the loss of Potential Revenue if England aren't there to get hammered !

Just an obtuse Theory..... like the one that said.. Russia had to get out, cos Putin meets Trump to get the NATO briefings in person, and couldn't avoid a National 'Lap-of-Honour' the next day if Russia Won......i.e...Russia out. ASAP

I have just gone down the sensible route rather than my belief the trophy is all but ours. The only way we can win this one is by stopping Croatia's midfield. if we don't then we will probably be playing on Saturday rather than Sunday

Then again Trippier, Walker & McGuire have far exceeded expectations, Pickford has helped keep us progressing while the rest have functioned as a unit, as a team they have fought for one another. For me they have made the golden shower generation look just plain ordinary.

Wednesday's game will more than likely be a roller coaster ride, just hope my nerves can stand it.
