1.93 3.25 4.60

50:50. Betting on underdog suits me just fine.

Odds are OK and the French are favorites in this game. But I thought the same for a match with England and see how it ended. So I will stay away. France is much better team than England, with one day rest more and without last 3 games in extra time.

[HenryLai]

odds a little higher than I thought
The handicap should be -0.75 or -0.5@1.80, now is little higher than on paper

Odds seem ok to me but if i wouldnt have french to win it all i would definitelly back them. Croatia showed inconsistent performance, lucky as well to get through penalties two times in a row but in first half against young Lions they could have easily been 0-2 down and game would have been different. Sure they arent a team without hope here, showed character and resiliance, some good football but lets face it, their path was easy compared with what France got: Brazil and Belgium and lets face it: it was more of a case of England self-imploding with some amateurish moves in defense than croatian quality. Croatia just did the right things but was nothing special, still waiting that bit of magic from Rakitic and Modric and the same story was in previous games: good team, solid but nothing special and they seem to receive game after game. France was solid so far, Varane impresive at the back, Llloris in top form, holding midfielders very solud in Matuidi and Kante, even mug Pogba looks like a decent player in this team. Their full backs are largely impressive going forward but this is their weakest spot defensivelly as they can be exposed on one on one especially on counters as Belgium had few chances like that with Hazard toying Pavard. So i guess croats will have a lot of crosses and also France is good in the air already scored a couple of headers so i will definitelly have a go a goal scored with header, havent checked the odds. Mbappe was brilliant so far, Grizzou not so much but he is still a danger with his set-pieces and class. For me this two are simply in different class, simply croats cant match the french talents and they are way more solid than anything they played so far. Of course with their fighting spirit and negative tactics of Les Bleus after they score there is definitelly a chance for an equalizer and another extra time but i just dont see it, i think its the end of the road for Croatia and they will hit an absolute wall, because i have no doubt they will receive at some point, their D just doesnt inspire confidence.
I would love to be wrong on this one and see a miracle here with a small country going all the way but i see very very small chances for that.

truth about easier way path .. yet at finals other factor may be more imp ..

people talk about first half looking "gone" ... but thats what most sides would look like when all scenario changes at 5 mins and u are chasing game ...

what they did after may actually increase their confidence as team ....

im not sure im ready to back bleus with -.75 line .......

[Cyrus]

It will be hard for sure. Wouldnt put my money on France, regardless my affiliation towards my team (croatian). Its final, whole different story for all involved. Just enjoying the show.

Golden ball
Mbappe 1,90
Modric 3,00
Griezmann 11,00

I dont understand these odds. Most probably the golden ball goes to the winning team.
Mbappe played great so far, 3 goals. Ok.
Modric gets the ball if Croatia wins the final and he was good.
Griezmann not bad so far, 3 goals.
France favorite to be world champions.

1,90 vs 11?
If it was 2,50 vs 6,00 ok

Can u explain it to me? Or is it already clear that Mbappe gets the trophy?

I'm also a little bit confused why the odds look like this (Mbappe being such a favorite). I would definitely add Daniel Subasic to the list who is having an exceptional tournament so far.
And have in mind that the award does not necessarily go to the winning team. In fact, the last 5 winners were selected from countries that failed to lift the trophy (Messi, Forlan, Zizu, Kahn, Ronaldo).
So even if France loses the final the award for best player can go to Mbappe/Griezman and vice versa (Croatia loses and Modric wins).

[Karl-Heinz]

Subasic 67,00 +

Loris vs Subasic (golden glove)
1,5 vs 2,7

[Karl-Heinz]

I think the problem with Croatia beginns when France scores 1st. Its superhard to equalize vs that team.
Croatia in knockout never scored first.

I'm afraid what will be if we score first ......... it's better that France score first and in that case we will play better and overturn the score and maybe not go in ET this time

Difficult to say, If France score first, it will be pretty much over for Croatia... French defensive skills are very impressive...Unlike Croatia play more on the flanks cause it seems to be the "weakest" part of the french team. Croatia might have problems on counters if France score first here.. On the other side if Croatia score first your team is not used to defend and it's by far not the best part of your team. The Odds on Over keep rising and it seems to be very interesting actually even Over 2 goals start to have lot of value..

He will take it for sure if France wins...he's 19 years old...big future and some good plays at this WC....actually it's more safe to bet on him at 1.90 than France to win the WC @1.43 becouse he's the clear favorite if France wins!

you can do a SUREBET between M'bappe and Modric

[fc arges]

I had the chance to see Croatia in some matches but France only against Australia where they won with luck and against Belgium! Belgium deserved more but they made a mistake at that corner....it happens

It will be hard for Croatia becouse the players from France need 2-3 seconds and they will punish you...

Croatia had the "ball jumping with more luck" against England and scored 2 unexpected goals from nothing but this is in the past...

I want Croatia to take it but i just cant when i see N'Kante, Pogba, M'bappe and Griezmann on the other side...
