France and Uruguay deserved victory, they play very good with an excellent game from young Kylian Mbappé for France and Edinson Cavani for Uruguay.
It was really impressive what Mbappé made for his team, in front of this young player is an excellent football future. Too bad that Cavani get injured last night, I hope he will be ready in six days for big match with France.
Today we can expect two good game also, Spain will try to win against host Russia, but based on their group performances Russia will not be easy rival for them. Maybe we can see game with lot of scores, Spain is have very weak defense ( 3 goals from Portugal/2 from Maroco ).
In second game Croatia vs. Denmark, it should be very hard game because Denmark is known as a very strong opponent with 17 games unbeaten in a row. I think it is perfect time for Croatia to win and break this series only by the law of large numbers, and some quality on their side.
Yes, I was very pleased with the Uruguay match, even won me a nice bet on the score, but less pleased that Messi and co now have to fly home. I know everyone has been knocking on Messi since the tournament started but it's totally unfair. Anyway, France deserved it more, I knew Mbappe was good but this stage always tests the best and he came out on top, even above Pogba.
So, golden boot, I hope someone other than Kane takes it, I like him and England but to win it on penalties and that weird deflected goal is not really nice. I suppose Senegal will also say it's not nice to get knocked out on yellow cards, so many "not nice" ways to win and lose in this World Cup.
Denmark or Croatia. Yes, very tough call. I didn't realize Denmark had such a good record, but I still put Croatia up for a win and clean sheet.
