World Cup 2018

Belgium and Sweden have the best upset shots

Russia should have super low odds but they have that home cooking going for them

The winner of Brazil and Belgium should win. That said, who knows. With all the upsets it could go a lot of ways. Can't see Russia winning at all. Uruguay is playing well, and France is so-so. That one could be interesting. England looks like a good bet over Sweden. Croatia didn't look great in their last match but definitely is a team to watch.

The way this tournament has gone, I would be surprised if all the favorites won

With those damn Russkies being so stubborn and not going out, I wonder about them pulling it out versus Croatia.

My prodigal daughter 1 year ago moved in with a guy that happens to be Croatian.

Suddenly I'm a fan, but see them as vulnerable if stout.

I heard Cavani is hurt and may not play. That's like Columbia not having James Rodrigues (sp?). Huge.

I heard about that. That should mean a French victory.

Croatia plays Russia.

Uruguay is the team that plays France.

You don't think Uruguay has a good shot over France?

IMO, Belgium and Brazil is a dead heat...but I'm really high on Belgium.

Cavani plays for Uruguay, that's why I said it should mean a French victory.

Not if Cavani is out.

I used to enjoy watching Brazil and pulling for them, but Neymar has ruined it for me. That guy is what's wrong with soccer.

ahh, got turned around because the post you quoted started by talking about croatia.

I need more coffee

I'm not big on Coutinho or Firmino either. Willian, however, is great.

Willian is very underrated. He's actually the MVP of the Brazilian team.

He played great against Mexico. If Belgium plays like they did for 70 minutes against Japan for even 20 minutes against Brazil they might lose by 4 goals. This is definitely the best game of the quarters. Sucks that one side of the bracket is so lopsided and we already know the final won't be the most attractive matchup. Just think, One of these teams will be in the final: Sweden, England, Croatia, or Russia. Wow.

It's funny how it shook out, but weird things happen. To be fair, Croatia can beat anyone (as evidenced by their handling of Argentina in the group stage) and the English team is also supremely talented though young.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

I hate the Brazil team. As galactically bad the overacting is in soccer the Brazilians have taken it to a sport within itself.

But I have to say, their ball handing seems to be on another level as well. Those guys are really good with the ball in traffic.

And what a great game the England/Spain was. That shit was riveting.

2 separate thoughts my friend.

I was lucky to get off a single thought this morning. My mistake

Yeah no argument there. With a well timed good run Croatia or England could win it all, but my money is on any of the 4 teams from the other side of the bracket, unless Cavani can't play.
