[Live in the Now]

Scenarios here are super simple.

Uruguay wins, they finish first. They don't, they finish second.

The better question might be “who wants to finish first?”

 

[Live in the Now]

They won't know beforehand. Sucks for them.

Meanwhile Spain and Portugal will know exactly how they want to navigate their final games.

 

[Suiteness]

Common sense would say it's more likely Spain "lights up" Morocco than Portugal spanks Iran ( Not happening). So I'd play it as Spain wins the group and Portugal comes in second.

 

[GunkWinger]

Torn between predicting win or tie. I don't think we lose as we tend to raise our game against better opponents (and Russia is the best opponent of the group). I think we go with either same lineup as Egypt or Saudi Arabia and build on that lineup to show a better effort.

Or we continue to flat out sucks and still manage a tie.

Uruguay pulls this one out 2-1

I think Russia rests some of the main players in this one

I would be okay with a draw

 

[Firsov99]

Russia is resting three main squad players today. Smart move I think.

[Bondurant]

Chompy strikes a beauty.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Whoa. Nice set up

 

[Firsov99]

Smolnikov’s bad pass lead to the goal.

 

[Firsov99]

Suarez with the first bite.

Lol. Nice one.

 

[Firsov99]

Uruguay is defending really well.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Another good chance
