truth

Has there ever been a time where teams from the same group met in the finals?

Back in 1962, when the group stage was drawn strictly based on geography rather than the format we have today, Brazil drew 0-0 with Czechoslovakia in the group stage and beat them 3-1 in the final. It also happened in 1954 when West Germany and Hungary met in the final after playing in the same group (Hungary won 8-3 in the group, but West Germany won the final 3-2).

Sweden's all defense all boring style is finally looking to end

They have scored more than 1 goal ONCE in the last 2 years

5 shutouts as well....looking like #6 soon in their last 12 games

Yep. As soon as it was 2-0 it was over. I was looking at a possible 1-1 penalty shootout. Due to Sweden’s style.
They had 2 real good chance to get one back and doofed it.

Well I am Croatia away from having my final 4 picks all right in our pool game that handicappers made. Not how I drew it up but all four.
I went with Belgium as the winner. That’s a tough call between them in France. I hadn’t watched much of France prior to the World Cup. They are getting hot at the right time. They generally always under performed.

To Home Depot for bullshit then the battle of the Slavs. Mother Russia and the Croats.

I remember being on a cruise and one bartender was Croatian. Typical boring, Slavic man with no expression or sense of life. A drunk couple asked him where he was from and that it was in South America?

He said it was a beautiful country and that they would love their visit if they went. (with zero expression or happiness in his voice) probably minus the bombed out villages.

Drunk Americans lol. I was like hey dumbasses, Yugoslavian war? Downed pilot movie? Mass graves? Clinton? It was in 95. You are older than I am and I remember that shit.

England wins!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Feel like England should be up 3-0 or more....

They wasted so many easy opportunities to put Sweden away.

Sweden did nothing whatsoever even remotely close to playing offense.

England spent a lot of the game on Sweden's side of the field.

 

[olympicoscar]

Croats will beat Russia.

 

[Airraidtech]

Croats will beat Russia.

Bold prediction comrade.

 

[bksballer89]

Wow what a strike

 

[bksballer89]

Croatia responds rather quickly.

 

[gobigred]

Russia saved by the goal post

 

[Airraidtech]

Penalties????

 

[The Derski]

I’m in favor of no penalties ever. Get these fools out of a flopping mindset

 

[bksballer89]

Pulled hammy for the Croatia keeper

 

[Airraidtech]

Well this just got interesting

 

[The Derski]

Putin about to have a “conversation” with the refs in the tunnel.
