Guys do you think Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi met at the airport on the way home? They could have even taken the same flight lol. Wouldn't that be very awkward?  Grin I am wondering if Diego Maradona will stay in Russia till the final or he is also leaving now that Argentina have been knocked out of the tourney.

I don't think that they will be in a awkward situation. Although they have been compared and even has a rivalry for the top football player, they are both professional and they are out of the World Cup. Personally though, I hope the Maradona will just left Russia and get his act straight.

Spain is up 1 nil against Russia. Spain is favored to win so let's see how its goes.

I don't think so. Maybe they coincided in the airport but they definitely didn't take the same flight, I think teams have individual planes.

Unfortunately they are both out so lets look at the remaining matches. Russia vs Spain starting right now, this one will be big. I find it very interesting that Spain has not scored a single goal against the host of a World Cup since the 1950's... maybe today it will be the day this unlucky streak is broken. Spain is a superior team to Russia I have no doubts about that, but Russia is the one that will have the most support in the field for obvious reasons, but still, this is nothing for the elite players in Spain, most are from Real Madrid and Barcelona, they are used to everything.

So the two GOATs of the footballing world have been sent home from the biggest stage in world football. With Argentina it was expected as they started the tournament not well. However, with Portugal, I was a bit surprised at the result. But take nothing away from Uruguay, they have very two hard working and clinical forwards and a solid defensive unit. Uruguay used master tactics/strategy to win the game. Portugal in my opinion lacked an experienced no.10 who would open up that tight defence with a incisive splitting pass. This world cup is becoming more unpredictable everyday, and I must admit a real joy to watch.

Indeed, both Messi and Ronaldo are two best players in football but I think they are not hungry of the title anymore. Teams are doing their best to overthrow these two best players and they did it this time. This only means the team that defeat them are more hungrier than them, that's why they deserve the upset.

Spain vs Russia - Experience of winning big games & big trophies flow through the Spain team. I see nothing other than a Spain victory.

Croatia vs Denmark - Croatia have been fantastic all tournament so far & I think they’ll be too strong for Denmark.

Man am I getting super pumped for the games today!  
Looking forward to Espana shutting down the host nation and over-achiever Russia in a couple of hours, and then in what will be much closer Im expecting Denmark to put up a valiant effort vs Croatia.

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.

I'm agree with previous reply. Even if I'm from Russia I think our team has no chances in this match which is coming in couple of hours already. I guess in the moment when it will be reached difference in two goals it will start the game of passes just to skip the reminig time.

Spain vs Russia

This game will be very tough I guess. Although Spain showed a less than satisfactory performance but Spain has the better level than Russia. This game may have to be completed on penalties.

Messi and C.Ronaldo, KO'd from the world cup on the same day, cover of every newspaper tomorrow  Cheesy I was expecting to see one of them at least in the semifinals.

Defensive masterclass from Uruguay today, Godin and Jimenez are the best CB duo in the world IMO, Laxalt as LB was amazing (Caceres was great as well), Torreira was immense in the midfield. Can't wait to see them against France in the QF.

This shows that individual brilliance counts for nothing, when you do not have the supporting cast. Argentina really didn't impress at this world cup and barely made it to the KOs. I am not surprised that they lost.
Uruguay are playing exceptionally well this tournament. Portugal were always trying to catch up in this game.
When you compare both the Argentina national team and the Portuguese national team, I can say without a doubt that Argentina have more capable players than Portugal but yet they seem to be unable to accomplish anything. I am sure that if Cristiano Ronaldo has the support of the Argentina squad, things would have been totaly different.

Damn, those were some amazing 90 minutes between france and Argentina.4-3, that was some intense  match.
Now messi and ronaldo are finally going to meet! At the airport :v lmao

Unpredictable games and we may see many surprises, i think France and Uruguay have a better chance (51% vs 49%).

For tomorrow, Croatie has a best chance while Spain will have a hard time to pass Russia, quite Unpredictable the last one  Roll Eyes
Naah man,  I think spain might even win this cup.Russia ain't that strong they just had a weak group and they went through.

As i predicted, France and Uruguay won. However, both games aren't that easy and 2 players did a wonderful job for their team : Mbappe and Kavani. The last one was injured, hope he heels fast.

Yes i also put some bet on Uruguay, although the rate was a little because Portugal was favourite, but Uruguay really played very well almost 70% game in Portugal half, and they were too much succeeded to defend their 2 goal, although in last few months pubertal also played well but not succeeded to equal their two goals.

both teams fought well in this game but the more organized won. Uruguay played in their best form and Cavanai gave it qualification.WC is going to be without Messi and Ronaldo from now on i think it's an opportunity for others to get some share from fame in the media Mbappe and CAvani are today heroes tomorrow who knows who will shine and lift his team to the next elimination stage it's going to be an intresting game between Denmark and Croitia, the DAnish team is not going to be an easy opponent they are unbeaten in 18 last games and allowed only one goal in previous 6 matches that it came from a questionable penalty their goalkeeper Schmeichel is arguably the best keeper in the tournament so far. It won't be as easy for Croatia as some of you think as for Croitia fans they are dreaming for a better finish then 1998 WC where they ended it in 3rd spot.

What a pity for both Argentina and Portugal. They have to go home earlier. Btw, the game between Uruguay and Portugal looked so impressing and I enjoyed it. Wish Cavani will be okay and able to play for the next game.
