Croatia can get to finals too, they have easier way to finials then Belgians and Brazilians, winner from that game will have to play against winner from France and Uruguay and both are tough opponents. Croatia against Russia and winner from that game plays against winner from Sweden and England. Can Russia surprise once again in this championship and make a win against Croatia? I believe everything is possible in football, and final game can be Uruguay vs England or Brazil vs Croatia, easier way to finials is for England, Brazil France Belgia and Uruguay are much better teams then Russia Croatia England and Sweden.
Maybe we will see more draw games and penalties in the end, that's football you never know what will happen until last minutes.
Croatia realistically have a great opportunity to advance at least to semi-final, they have a lot of quality players who are capable of winning against Russia. But fact that Russia is host and that has a historic opportunity to play semi-final of World Cup will make this game very interesting, I bet they will play as if their lives depend on it.
I would like to see Croatia-England and France-Brazil in semi-final, however since this World Cup is full of surprises it is possible that there will be some unexpected results in next stage.
^ Belgium could surprise everybody tho. They have a really good squad that's mostly underrated. And their match vs Japan showed how mentally strong they are imo. I just don't think Brazil can push them around...
I really hope Belgium wins against Brazil, but I will have to miss this match. My girlfriend booked a table at a restaurant while we're playing :-/
Not going to forgive her this any time soon
or maybe everybody will watch that game in restaurant lol
Brasil looks better to me more complete like a team however Belgium midfielders are able to dominate game.Very interesting game but i bet for Brasil because Belgium defense are making to much mistakes Belgium lost two goals last game it was possible to came back against japan but will be hard to repeat that against Brasil
Croatia is my dark horse from beginning so i think they will qualify
.
Yeah I'm hoping that they have a TV there, but I'm not counting on it.
Probably going to watch it on my phone, without too many people noticing hopefully
Oh I completely agree on Belgium's defence during the game with Japan, but they looked much better against England.
Carrasco had a really bad match and wasn't too happy with Kompany's performance either.
Now they're going to put Fellaini up from the start, which is good IMO. De Bruyne will also get a more prominent role, haven't seen too much from him during this World Cup.
Belgium
can definitely win, but the odds are in favour of Brazil. Still placed a bet on Belgium though.
