I’m not rooting for the former “Great” Britain. At one time I would have.

I like France and England and then England.

They been having such a hard time. Sold out on Brexit. The Royal wedding thing.

I picked France too...until I found out that DeBruyne is Belgian. Thought he was Dutch and after watching him on Man City I changed my pick to Belgium.

I understand that. My point is there is no longer a Great Britain, either.

I’m a big Lukaku fan, wished he still was at Everton. I just think France is just a bit better, but Belgium certainly has a good shot.

If Great Britain did have a team, they’d probably would have won several World Cups by now.

Or the United Kingdom. Most people don’t know the difference!

I just think of having those great England players and adding Georgie Best to the mix.

If it’s England and Belgium in the final, I wonder how many times two teams from the same group wound up meeting again the Final?

Or if England added Gareth Bale to their team.

No predictions but hoping for Eng/Fra (both former winners) or Cro/Bel (both would be first time finalists) in the final.

I wonder who the Walloons are rooting for? A lot of them feel closer to France than to Belgium.

Kind of like our Mexicans here being loyal to Mexico.

At this point, it’s a toss up. But I’ll go with England and France.

Not sure about the Walloons, but we both know who the Scots are NOT rooting for.
