Portugal vs Uruguay about to kick off in 20 minutes. I’m keen to watch this game, could be really good. Cavani, Nunez & Valverde starting for the South American’s. Ronaldo, Bruno & Silva start for Portugal, some real world class talent on show in this game. Try to watch it if you can guys.

I am amazed at the Uruguay ability to not score goals considering the names they have like Nunez and Cavani which are some great strikers that have done great wherever they have been playing,also Suarez played the first game without scoring a goal,their last game is against Ghana and they need a win in order to have a slim chance but most probably they are out of the World Cup since the group stages,Ghana just need a draw and they will be fine,even Portugal had trouble winning against Ghana.

I am happy for Portugal though,despite the drama going on in Manchester United the coach of Portugal said Ronaldo is the best player ever and he is showing maturity with the national team and by watching how they are playing they can go far in this World Cup.

Uruguay have really surprised me, I thought they’d be much, much better. There is a lot of history in the Ghana vs Uruguay games. Remember the Suarez handball on the line, the penalty was missed & Uruguay won on penalties. I think the Ghanaian squad will be motivated to put that right.

Regardless though, if Uruguay can advance to the round of 16, they won’t be going much further.

It's the same with me, I lost in the Portugal vs Uruguay match, this was really beyond my expectations, against Uruguay I thought Uruguay would play pressing, but instead it was the other way around, instead it was Portugal that pressed Uruguay from the first to the last minute. what made me lose the bet yesterday, it's really difficult to predict the countries that are participating in this year's World Cup, it's as if they are going to play the bet making a lot of people lose the bet..

I would be extremely surprised if Uruguay go past the group stages judging by the two games they have played.In the first one especially against Korea if I remember correctly they ended it without a true dangerous shot on goal and that for me says a lot.Ghana in the two games they have played they put their spirit into it by giving 100% of their capability and if they do the same in the last game against Uruguay I think they will qualify further and for me this will be a much deserved qualification for the African team.

Slissy: stamping your mark on the pool, well done. I'm not having a good group stage in the pool so I've gone for some drastic results to see if I can catch up.

I feel that Brazil performed really well today. They controlled the game from start to finish and have created a lot of dangerous opportunities.

They could have scored a few more goals and have once again confirmed their role as the main favorites in the tournament.

If I didn't have money riding on it, I'd definitely have enjoyed the game much more, the disallowed goal from Vinicius was really a product of the team playing a style and philosophy they're comfortable with. I know Messi had a great game also but this Brazil team, if they continue like this, far and away the winner-elect.

Group A is crazy! As 3 of 4 teams still have chance to qualify but Netherlands is facing Qatar so most likely they will get those 3 points and then the battle remains for 2nd place between Senegal and Ecuador. Personally, I think Ecuador has a better football and they should win.

Enjoy the last world cup with this format, in 2026, there will only be 2 group games per team, so I feel like we'll see a lot of teams winning the first game camping out for a draw, while loser of first will need to win the next game. Could prove to be fun too but also some risk many teams will actually play for certain results in the 2nd game that suit both teams.

Uruguay have really surprised me, I thought they’d be much, much better. There is a lot of history in the Ghana vs Uruguay games. Remember the Suarez handball on the line, the penalty was missed & Uruguay won on penalties. I think the Ghanaian squad will be motivated to put that right.

Regardless though, if Uruguay can advance to the round of 16, they won’t be going much further.

Yeah I remember you had money backing Nunez, but hey, you never know in the final game.

I think the mistake was starting Suarez, I actually like him a lot but feel like he's dampened the attack a little. I totally forgot about the Ghana handball, that now definitely makes me think this is a betting opportunity for WC's second red card.

Interesting day today in World Cup as it's all or nothing for so many teams.

Group A is crazy! As 3 of 4 teams still have chance to qualify but Netherlands is facing Qatar so most likely they will get those 3 points and then the battle remains for 2nd place between Senegal and Ecuador. Personally, I think Ecuador has a better football and they should win.

Group B is also crazy! 3 of total 4 teams can qualify here as well. England has the first chance , no doubt about it and Iran and USA will fight for 2nd place. Now , from USA group that qualified for World Cup , Canada is out , Costa Rica is out , most likely Mexico is out and USA remains the last chance for Central and North America to have a representative in the next phase so I will have to go with USA to qualify.  Cool

How angry do you think Ronaldo will be after the goal was given to Bruno Fernandes instead of him? Grin

Portugal secured the knockouts, but I have to admit they don't excite me.
They are compact and don't give much to the opposition but from what they've shown so far, I don't think they'll last there for long.

They have big problems in defense as we saw yesterday two times they were saved luckily by their goalkeeper because Uruguay players came two times face to face with the goalkeeper and they missed their chances which translates in them out of the tournament most likely.Portugal has a really strong attack and this is what so far has given them the 6 points and head of the group,I don't know if they will go far or not far but unless they improve their defending they do not stand a chances against big teams like Argentina,Brazil,Spain and France who look the better teams of the tournament so far.

Brazil game was somewhat similar like against Serbia. They controlled game, had some good moments, but it was difficult to expect that they will score many goals against Switzerland - one of the best defense in tournament.
Are we seeing too many off-side in this word cup? Semi-automated offside technology is ruining the excitement of celebrating a goal. Technically the decisions seem correct but I think it's not helping the football fans. One of the reason for big upsets so far is this semi-automated offside technology. Argentina, Germany, even yesterday Brazil's goal was disallowed too.

It looks like VAR is bringing some better results that without it we would not have otherwise,a lot of VAR disallowed goals shows that this technology is working well totally different to our belief that we do not see any difference by implementing it.

For today we start the last games of the group stage,it will be very interesting games today starting with Ecuador vs Senegal as Ecuador just needs a draw to move further then we have Iran vs USA,the bookies are favoring USA but I don't know how to take this game,it will be the best game to watch today I think.

So pity that I was at work and missed Serbia - Cameroon game. I tried to catch goals at least, watching on my phone and it was crazy game.
South Korea - Ghana wasn't worse. South Korea made great comeback in few minutes - who could have thought that they will dominate in the 2nd floor. It's a bit sad that they lost, now their chances to reach next round is minimal.

Feeling disappointed about Uruguay. Another game without goals, deserved Portugal win. Now they will have decisive game against Ghana and it gives instant flashbacks to most legendary 2010 WC game. Should be interesting. Anyway, in next round winner of tihs game will get Brazil, so, not much chances.

I feel that Brazil performed really well today. They controlled the game from start to finish and have created a lot of dangerous opportunities.

They could have scored a few more goals and have once again confirmed their role as the main favorites in the tournament.

Casemiro's goal was top notch BTW, check it if you haven't seen it.

Am I the only one?

My last 6 predictions scored incredible 0 Points  Cheesy

You are not alone,many others have got only one point out of Croatia and I think very few people have predicted a 3-3 in Serbia game and 2-3 in Ghana game and 0-0 in Brazil game which just 8 minutes are left so most likely a lot of pool participants have not done well in these last two days,maybe because of the holidays but that just my thinking as I don't think the holidays to interfere with our thinking.Let's hope at least we see a beautiful game in the 20:00 PM game of Portugal vs Uruguay,it should be a very good game to watch and I think Portugal will have the upper hand and the win.

Brazil just scored finally in the 84 minute.

Handful of guys went for the Serbia draw (did they just forget to defend or what if cryptofrka says they tried to score more goals after being 3-1), and I avoided betting on it, so saved myself even more heartache... and avoided also S Korea who are now 2 goals down (and 12 of you guys went for Ghana, not bad)... unfortunately could not resist Brazil so have the last of my bankroll riding entirely on them (dumb).

Terrible not being able to watch games and just see scores, but going to try everything to see Brazil but they start at 5pm my time and I'm not usually free until after 7...

This was among the more exciting games in the tournament so far. It's really bizarre that Serbia played so offensively after going 3-1 up.

Cameroon used their chances well and changed a lot with Aboubakar - who really deserves to start for this team. He was quite good in their game vs Switzerland as well.

Wow! Serbia just comeback and score two goals before first half ended! This is the best and quickest comeback so far in a World Cup history so massive congrats for Serbia!
-snip

it is 1:3 now, and should be enough to end up easily to a win
three shots on target, three goals

looking at first half, after conceived goal, second was in the air, but Pavlovic header changed everything (catched x2 @1.54 in 43 minute, so happy about the score from betting perspective as well)

had 0 points in the pool yesterday, hopefully it will be better today

By the way, doesn't Germany need only victory today? After all, if it plays a draw, then its fate will not be completely in its hands and will depend on the games of other teams.
Since Germany has achieved a draw, it's getting very interesting now.
Germany needs to win against Costa Rica for sure as Germany is only at 1 point currently, Spain is at 4 points, Japan and Costa Rica at 3
For all the other teams, even a draw could be enough, depending on results. 
Of course, Costa Rica will face a difficult task because it's Germany and Germany needs a win.

Spain can even afford to lose (if it's not a massive defeat and Germany doesn't score many goals against Costa Rica) because Spain has a much better goal difference.

In fact, there is only one deadly outcome for Germany - Japan's victory over Spain, since it is unlikely that Germany will be able to turn their goal difference, which is now -1, into +7 (which Spain now has). The rest of the results are safe for Germany, as after beating Costa Rica, the total number of goals (the second indicator for determining the best team) will be better than Japan.
