Colombia vs England or Belgium in the round of 16 Shocked

Hope the Belgium midfield players don't fail us in the defence (since there is no defence in Belgium!!!)

Looking at the starting XI, Belgium have Fellaini, Dembélé, Chadli in midfield...not looking good LOL especially with Dendoncker and Botaya in the defence.

I'm looking forward to the game. Whoever wins gets to play vs Japan in the next round, but a win against japan means they could face Brazil/Mexico in the quarterfinals. And whoever loses today will have to play vs Colombia in the RO16, but they could have an "easier" quarterfinals (Sweden/Switzerland).

I guess they will play lightly, both of the team will and actually they should avoid any fouls resulting in Cards to avoid further complications. Anyway, Sweden is not easy as well as you seemed to portray, yeah, maybe not on same level, but they are good. And moreover in this most unpredictable World Cup, I say anything is possible or nothing is impossible.

With Senegal losing today, it means that they are out of the world cup, it also mean that no African team made it past the group stages this time around. It would have been lovely to see the African stars of Liverpool Salah and Mane at least entertain us a little more. I guess they can go home and rest better for the upcoming season.

Colombia and (surprisingly) Japan advance to the next round.

It felt like Senegal was pretty comfortable

And the last African hope disappeared. Didn't expect this coming, Senegal is out!

Does anyone made some serious bet on Germany as the cup winner this year?
Just like some of you said - it's champion's curse. Now serious games will start. With such start I do not even know who may win this year.

I lost a big bet on Germany on the first game.

Germany, the defending champion, called for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia in the first round after losing 2-0 to South Korea.

Germany have lost the World Cup title they won in Brazil 2014, losing to South Korea 2-0, and they put together the tournament from their first round to qualify Sweden and Mexico from Group F, by finishing in the first two places respectively with the end of their games with 6 points The first was Korea's third with three points and the same goal from Germany.

It felt like Senegal was pretty comfortable with the draw, no effort to go for the win until Yerry Mina's goal, that's when they knew they were fucked but it was too late.

I think Argentina will go far now Messi is back on track for scoring goals.
I think Maradona suffered a health scare last match with him being pulled out on a stretcher after they won.

Could be because of this Roll Eyes

Yes, Maradona (once again) didn't control his alcohol intake, most likely, I hope it wasn't cocaine. He has said he was tired and wasn't related to him drinking, he said he didn't take any drugs.. I can't believe that given past precedents.

What I can't also believe is Germany is out of the tournament... insane, first time in ages that Germany is out.

Real Madrid's Brazilian Marcelo was out in the final match against Serbia in the last round of the World Cup. The club was unable to continue the match because of a back injury, and the Brazilian Football Confederation Adding that the player suffered from spasm in the lobe, but was treated and is in better condition now. Which assured everyone about the continuation of the leader of the journey with his country.

Why James Rodrigues has been substituted? This is a lol. I do not understand, what strategy will be implemented by Pekerman. Meanwhile, Senegal looks better than Colombia.

He had some pain in the lower region, better to rest him and let the other boys bring home the W Cheesy

in a case of Germany was shock because first time from 1938 Germany didn't pass first round.Germany has many to think current Germany players are old i don't see any new ones
Timo Werner and Brandt is not so much

My favorite to win Mundial is Croatia rock solid team with Modic in great form
i like Brasil Naymar is getting better and better he was injured before Mundial now time is on his side

Today i see Japan and Columbia to qualify but can be diffrent

Whatever games are better and better hope we will have same emotions and goals in play-offs

This victory in South Korea can ring into the history of world football, and defeat the German tank in the World Cup and the German team to go all out. It is a dream for all teams in the world but it is very difficult to do! Korea's tough temperament highlights football! The five Asian teams who played in this World Cup have high light performance, and Asian football is progressing!

Egypt vs Saudi
Uruguya vs Russia
Portugal vs Iran
Spain vs Morocco

Looks easy enough for tomorrows parlay Wink

I agree to all except one. I think Uruguay vs Russia will end in a draw. There's no need for them to go all out vs each other. All they need to do is 'relax', just finish the match and be on their way to the KO stages.

I think this is clear that Russia and Uruguay both are tough teams but if you remember about Argentina and Croatia few days ago which was an upset. So I mean to say that anything is possible is game. About Portugal vs Iran I choose Portugal to win this game because I do not want upset here, I want win for such a team which has the potential to win in final.

Wtf dude... That round of matches is over. Lmao. Cheesy

Worst case scenario for MEXICO here is a draw, and they still advance.

Sweden isn't a known powerhouse of offense, scoring only 1 goal in each of their 2 games.

MEXICO will play for the win, so maybe a play on the WIN or DRAW.

Talk about a horrible prediction that ended up turning out great for Mexico!

No one gave S. Korea a shot at surviving, let alone giving up 3 goals.

This WC has been full of surprises and I feel the excitement/upsets are just getting started.

Lol Germany is already going home after a loss against South Korea. In 4 years time a lot has changed and not in a good way.
What a bad tournament of Germany, they were very lucky against Sweden but in the end they didn't really deserve to go through.

That's is the champion curse. Do you remember that previous champions of previous cups Italy, Spain, France and now Germany also fell out of the cup from the most beginning? Roll Eyes

Not sure if I can believe on such things.. That's just part of pressure where the champion usually required to play extra in order to defend the title, instead played well they are in the worst situation. It's not happened in World Cup only ... Just look at how the English premier league champions ended up nearly got relegated . Poor Germany.
