OT: FIFA World Cup 2018

[Rapala]

hard not to like this England team man

Sweden losing Lustik to yellow cards last game hurt them badly.
They were no where near as organized in the back as we had previously seen. But yeah England are playing a solid possesion type game and do have some depth of quality. It would be cool to see Belgium against England in the final after they initially played the game no one wanted to win.

I think Belgium (or France) will pretty much destroy England in the final. Let's see if they can get past Croatia first.

Like I mentioned to @admiralcadillac there in no team remaining who can destroy England. They are better than most want to admit.

Let's see if Croatia can get by Russia before we talk about them getting by England.
So far only one of those teams is through!

 

[ArtPeur]

I still want France-England as last game

Belgium has been weak in their D, Mbappe will worry them
If somehow Russia beats Croatia (and England), I want them tested for drugs

England will lose to Belgium/France by at least 2 goals provided they will even make it to the final.

Belgium couldnt get two into England's B team. Granted Lokaku wasnt playing but still, wasnt easy.

I think a one goal differential at best.
France are the best side but that doesn't mean anything in a one game format. Anything can and probably will happen.

Doesn't confirm anything but people already have their suspicions. I'm 100% for Russia winning and I've been cheering for them from the start but it's not like they aren't known to dabble in the cheating. Being in Russia doesn't help.

Anything can happen in 1 match for sure, but I am sticking to my story - talent over character.
I actually had Fra, Bel, Cro and Ger as the final 4 in my pool before games started.

They haven't played a good team yet.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Ouch!

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Oh well, what can I say but f***! Sweden deserved to go out, they were pretty pale and nowhere near the Englanders, now let us meet them in hockey.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Swe-done. England's "fooligans" going wild.

What kind of World Cup is this? Germany out in the group stage and England in the semis.

Projection ... Belgium over Croatia in the finals.

Bizarro world like when Superman gets in touch with red cryptonite!

 

[Rapala]

Croatian Football always finds me scratching.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Come on Russia, you need at least a shot on goal on that play.

 

[Adam Michaels]

WOW!!!!!

 

[ArtPeur]

What a shot

 

[peate]

Boulette canon, sure Clodine, I guess it was a shot and a half.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Said this before and I'll say it again, best World Cup ever. Great games, lots of late game dramatics, and sooooooo many insane goals.

England vs Russia
Belgium vs France

Holy f***!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Croatia is playing like crap. Russia takes 1-0 lead on a beautiful shot. They're not parking the bus today. They're taking the game to Croatia.

 

[Adam Michaels]

England vs Russia
Belgium vs France

Holy ****!

Not sure I'm counting Croatia out just yet.

But those semi-final match-ups would be

Fun little fact:

In 1978, Argentina won the World Cup in.... Argentina.
In 1998, France won the World Cup in.... France.
In 2018, could Russia win the World Cup in.... Russia?
