Nah, for a lot of the ones on this board, once customs and shipping are included its closer to $80-110 I think.

Consoles are a good deal higher than that.

Collections are more expensive sure, but those get built over many years.

Looking at Roba's collection, that's like $1500+ right there once you include shipping costs.

Ranking the hype for French Finals (before kickoff) in my short lifetime,

5. 2016 Euros

Deschamps' first final, this team was weird to follow, we knew by then that France had up and coming talent, but we stuck with a lot of vets, quite a few of them were unlikeable too. The performances were rather weird too, often disjointed and Kante/Matuidi didn't seem to mesh. The win against Germany was great, I got to experience it in France as well and buzz was building. It happened to clash with a couple of turning points for me however that had me preoccupied and that got in the way of fully embracing the team. Didn't help that due to a train delay I ended up missing the majority of the game.

4. 2000 Euros

This was what I felt was the best French team I had ever seen, looking back you can certainly argue that this team was better than the 98' side. France obviously had a target on their back after the WC win and they got the group of death right away. They managed to overcome that fairly easily. The knockouts were competitive but this was when faith in Zidane was reaching a monumental level. The scariest part of the buildup was Holland vs. Italy. Even as a kid, you could tell both teams in that semi-final were playing at a very high level and I was freaking out. In the end we won, but this was maybe the first tournament where I learned how important defense was.

3. 2006 World Cup

In terms of buildup to reach the final, this had an almost movie-like narrative going for it. The current generation wasn't getting it done, so they bring the band back together and leading the charge was of course Zidane. Once we hit the knockout stages, it was the wildest of rides. France looked so unconvincing in the group stages, but once we hit winner take all games, Zidane made us believe all over again. First they disposed of a good looking Spain squad, then they took out a Brazil team full of star players, then they beat a talented Portugal which had on their way to the semis beaten some strong sides. Meanwhile Italy was looking better and better with each passing round. Given that we all knew this was Zidane's last hurrah, the whole thing just felt like a bigger event than a World Cup final usually is. Things didn't pan out in the end, but the lead up to it was so damn good.

2. 2018 World Cup

Recency bias I guess, but there's something about these kids. They are playing with a maturity and tactical discipline these young squads don't normally have. Each round they have had to face star players who can change a game on their own and each time they have risen to the occasion. I'm not used to seeing a team of so many talented stars just buying in to a collective effort like this. 98 was full of leaders who got business done, but 2018, you'd expect these guys to perhaps crack a little under pressure. They might in the finals, but the road to the final feels similar to 2006, only instead of being a generation's last stand, its a new group of players announcing themselves to the world.

1. 1998 World Cup

First final, first football tournament I ever got to really follow and everything went perfectly. The drama was there, the final boss was a very intimidating Brazil and France had just been through a war with Croatia. This was a WC where I didn't follow any of the backstage shenanigans, didn't really know about the Ronaldo stuff and didn't realise how special the French team's makeup even was. I've always been in a multicultural environment, moreso than most, "black-blanc-beur" didn't feel weird, but it might have been one of the most important aspects of the team. All I knew back then was, we were winning and it felt like we would never lose, no matter how much Brazil was being hyped. This felt like the buildup between two of the greatest teams, just cos it was the first WC I ever got to watch.

Called France vs England fairly early, I'm sticking to it.

Both have had to face some tough hurdles, but Rakitic is struggling out there and he was one of England's bigger threats on paper.

Modric is still quality, but the rest of the midfield is just not clicking.

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Based on the games I've seen Croatia play and what I've seen them do individually in Serie A and the Champion's League.....Croatia ain't got SHIT on England man.

Modric and Rakitic best midfield duo in the world my ass.

Modric works so well because he plays with Casemiro and Kroos, perfect trio that complements each other.

Rakitic looks godly at Barcelona because he plays with Busquets and Iniesta in a system that got the most out of all three.

Who the fuck is gonna be the third amazing banana these two are used to? My mate's a huge inter fan who forces me to watch em on occasion. Perisic makes Di Maria look consistent, Brozovic is basically a turd that England shouldn't fear.

Harry Kane looks at Lovren and all he sees is a liability to exploit. There's no way Trippier isn't going to look like a star tonight.

Croatia lacks that 3rd midfielder their two stars are used to, changing their whole approach. The defense isn't all that good and isn't near as good on the ball or disciplined like their teammates in Varane/Umtiti for their clubs. The options from the bench are for the most part inconsistent. Kovacic isn't getting much game time for Madrid because he's not good enough to play ahead of the actual world class talent.

England's got a lot more depth on the bench and are such a threat on set pieces, this is the defense to do it against. The only way Croatia wins, is if the overrated players somehow manage to perform against an England team that has been good at making star players underperform.

Its a nonsensical format he hasn't really thought through.

England could easily have been facing Germany and Spain instead, but both countries had some extenuating circumstances. Upsets happen, they can create these kinds of scenarios when they do occur.

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Lingard and Sterling will have to do what DeBruyne/Hazard couldn't.

But they have a different style of game, like DeBruyne's passes were still getting into very dangerous areas, but Lukaku was often trying to jostle for position and got in late. If Kane gets in the box he'll be a major threat.

I guess they have the pace to burn Pavard, maybe not Hernandez. The issue for England is tracking back against Mbappe and Griezmann. I noticed this game that a lot of the times Hazard got past Pavard, Kante poked the ball away. Hazard was just so good, he at times got past both anyway.

However, on set pieces, England are very dangerous, and Umtiti can be exposed on those. England will have corners and free kicks.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

The Varane tackle on I believe Hazard, followed by the excellent shot stop from Lloris was one of the better examples of Belgium working themselves into good chances, but being stopped by a very good defense.

Get past Matuidi and Kante, you gotta get through Varane and Umtiti, put yourself in a position to shoot, there's still a Lloris to get past.

Now I think England will win tomorrow and Kane can certainly score against France, but they'll try hard to not even let him touch the ball.

First World Cup final since 2006, that one France got there beating some very good teams, this year they beat some incredibly talented guys to get to the final as well. I'm just hoping they do one better. Heck, 98' saw France come up against some very strong teams once they hit the knockout stages.
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

A team this young being so disciplined, tactically aware and pragmatic is rare on the international stage.

Saw some stuff while in France, Lloris has come off like a great captain in interviews and such over there.

Congratulations Dp.

Hmm, on paper this Belgium team has experienced more suffering, I'm pretty sure they have more returning squad members than France has from the Euros.

French team is young and many starters haven't faced this type of situation before. But Deschamps is tactically better than Martinez. Talent level at a glance is basically equal, Belgium have more experience, France the better coach.

No idea who replaces Meunier, but shutting down Hazard and DeBruyne will be key to winning. If both Giroud and Mbappe can't get things going then France is neutralised.

Still confident in France though.
