About Croatia and deserving to be there... it's now 4-1 France and Croatia doesn't look like they even deserve to be in the stands, much less on the field.
I am completely ignorant of the selection process and how teams are seeded and then placed... but I think Todd has a point when he says the brackets were loaded unfairly. I can't help but wonder if there might be too much stress on 'representation' and too little on making sure the best two teams are on the field for the Championship game? - JamesJM
