India deserve it, have played well all-round. That said, whilst you're in it, you're a chance. Gut feeling that Saffers might get up tonight, but hope I'm wrong. Good thing you were wrong. India should be red-hot favourites but in a Final - anything can happen! Surprising that this could be the 4th...

Ok, at last, the weak teams are dispensed with, let the finals begin with the 4 best teams fighting it out.

Music to NOC's ears from Southgate in a stinging criticism of VAR https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67373765 I'm a big fan of Gareth :lol: Sadly the authorities believe VAR has made the game better and we are going to be stuck with it now.

QED

the only thing you have proven is your predictability.....

Which is showing you up (time and time again).

They might, just might, get a win against Netherlands in their last game. Could be a close one looking at the ladder.

Go for the first four this year and really test yourself.

It's usually worth more.

I know that one of them is currently doing a pub crawl/tour of his homeland, so is probably focused on beer at the present time (for drowning sorrows no doubt).

Is Piers Morgan going to have a whinge about the Sri Lankans cheating? Lords will be loosing its collective head about now.

england need some deflections the way they're going.

Will this match go down with other great sporting victories.
Australia's world record World Cup history win of 31:0 in soccer over another powerhouse like American Samoa.

In fairness the Netherlands beat South Africa the other week.

Nice little net run rate booster overnight.

Southern hemisphere countries continue to show the way.

PS - Go the All Blacks.

Quiet thread - might liven up as we draw closer to the end of the round-robin games. Be hard to see anyone toppling India, but I guess all it takes is one bad game from them at the pointy end.

As for Poland recently, let's just say all the best to Albania in the next stage!

Looks like Australia & England are either burnt out or racking up some better odds at the bookies before making a late dash.

Looks like our dad's army is struggling a bit. Can't bowl, can't bat and can't field. Can win the toss alright but even then get what to do wrong.
Maybe they're all feeling sorry for the Wallabies.......

The 48 team idea will mean more of this in future, sadly. Good luck trying to organise watching your team, or others of interest without costing an arm or a leg.

So VAR has solved all wrong decisions. What a great system.

All I can say is go Lions (and Broncos).
