So...Argentina - Australia , eh ? I think Argentina will face in semi-finals either Brazil or Spain ...if Spain wins the group and Brazil wins theirs too.

Today , I'm not so sure about Belgium:( and they were my favorites to win the trophy but after what I saw in 2nd game of them , playing almost nothing , they don't deserve to qualify for next phase and Crotia , to be honest , are still playing a top football and they are kinda the same age like Belgium ...maybe some of them even older than Belgium players so DeBryune saying that they are getting older is just a lame excuse in my opinion. Sad

Amazing odds for Croatia win against Belgium, maybe adding asian handicap safer option would be perfect bet.
What do you think Cro2 team cryptofrka and Trofo, can your country win tomorrow, but try to be objective?

I fancy our chances today. Belgium has been really disappointing so far, they should have lost both of their games.

We were really good against Canada and compact against Morocco, Belgium is the team that needs to attack and that can work in our favor because we can frustrate them with our possession game and look for gaps.
A big plus for them is the return of Lukaku - he is crucial for their gameplay. Add de Bruyne to that and you have a team that can beat anybody, so we'll need to be on top of our game to progress.

In my eyes we are the favorites today. Hope we show it.

I tried to stay up last night to watch and ended up sleeping just before the match started, so messed up my day and missed the game anyway but that was some kind of drama I think for Mexico. All they needed was to score 1 more, and ended up confirming Poland when they let Saudi score.

I totally agree Croatia has better chances, better team, Belgium I think made a big mistake playing Hazard but I guess I shouldn't comment without watching, just surely they have better bench to choose from? Also never imagined de Bruyne would be such a shit pick for fantasy.

Two big surprises today, or maybe France just didn't want to push so hard against Tunisia, and this win was historic and sweet for them for colonial reasons.
Biggest surprise for me in this World Cup is Australia going in next phase, but I doubt they will do anything against Argentina and Messi.

If Morocco can do it, why not Croatia ? sentiments aside Croatia are miles better as a team compared to Belgium. Roberto Martinez is just trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, He's just having a bunch of guys playing together with zero team chemistry, I don't understand why Trossard and Tielemans can start together or the essence of playing 3 at the back and having a bunch wing players all playing in the midfield and there is no centre forward you can trust with crosses and cut backs, what's wrong with playing four at the back and have Witsel, Tielemans and KDB as playmakers in the midfilder then settle for whatever 3 players he wants at the front, having Onana playing ahead of Tielemans in the second game or stuffing Carrasco into the lineup in midfield and Thorgan Hazard in the second game as well, just to have Trossard on the bench seems like shooting one's self in the foot.

I believe this game will won or lost right from the lineup and formation Martinez decides to go with today, and I'll gladly have my money on Croatia if he keeps up with those absurd antics.

Fuck Mexico, i put them to qualify... you only need to make more goals.

Poland..... come on man, you cant play that bad, they risk all being ultradefensive like always, really dumb they were, they have plenty of luck and a magnificent Szczesny. In the other hand, was the best game of Messi in this WC cup but...... man you cant miss that penalty.

Maybe he messed that penalty because it wasn't a penalty. I mean, Szczesny touched Messi's face with his hand while he was falling and when the ball was already heading out of the field an no one could have get it. For me that shouldn't have been ruled as a penalty and it probably wouldn't have been ruled if someone else than Messi was in question.

I mean, if the goalkeeper misses the ball and his body hits the player in the face, it's a penalty regardless of how soft it was, because there was contact with the player rather than the ball, and the keeper also missed the ball. btw, Szczesny had a good game and was the reason Poland qualified, but it would have been worse had that PK gone in the 1st half. Aside from the PK miss, Messi was the best player on the field, but MOTM only goes to a goal scorer, not the best player tactically nowadays..

I'm still in the game mathematically, but realistically, I've given up. It was enjoyable while it lasted. My group's two underdogs are on top. Grin

If the goalie didn't touch the ball, I agree. But I was pretty sure that he touched it. Maybe I saw wrong, I don't know...

I hope that Croatia will win today's game and stay in the first spot. I guess Spain will finish first in their group and I wouldn't like to see Croatia play against Spain in the next round. The odds are really on our side but like Trofo said, it's the last game and stakes are high so who knows how will Belgium play.

Belgium showed absolutely nothing so far in the competition. They looked really bad and if this was any normal stakes game I would say easy win for Croatia but this is the game to pass the group and anything can happen. I still think we will do well but I am bit afraid what happens if it is draw around min 60, it will be good enough for us and we could start thinking only about defending and that will end up badly for us.

Btw Gakpo is still in contention as the top goalscorer as Kylian Mbappe was excluded in this race and so far with 3goals, three names still standout ( Gakpo, Rashford & Enner Valencia) and am expecting more players to join these guys..

You're right, I assumed it was only for the third round matches. Grin

Those Group C matches was too sweaty during the second half when both of the winning teams are somehow up 2-0 at one point and Mexico is desperately needing a goal to secure top 2 while Poland needs to hold for another 20mins or so.

Also, the Giroud question went as expected since France didn't care as much up until the near end of the game after Tunisia got a goal in. Cheesy

interesting fight in group G, if I calculated correctly, we have leader at 14, and all other members on 13, almost as tonight group with all teams having chances to pass through, but Argentina and Poland got their pass over Mexico and Saudis

looking forward to tomorrow decider between Belgium and Croatia, should be a good match (I do not expect much goals, IMO will be a tactical, although early goal could change everything)

Hey fellas, here are some statistics for tomorrow's games:

I'd also like to warn you that we won't be having a lot of time for the questions for the 1st knockout round. The last group games end on Friday at 10PM CET and knockouts start the following day at 4PM CET.

This means that we will prepare the questions late on Friday but you will have only like half a day or so to submit answers.
We will tag you, but please pay attention to that yourselves.

Good luck!

I was travelling for a family function and could not submit the betslip/answers in time for yesterdays first matches. I was second in my group and probably would be gone through to QF. I genuinely missed out and pretty disappointed i lost my shot at prize pool.

You can still submit your answers and we will count those that relate to games that did not start. Unfortunately for you a lot of them already started but maybe there is still some chance.

That was the plan, but i couldnt buy coin before todays first kickoff and would have missed those as well. At this point the people who got answers in time deserve to go through.. Sad

I chose Saudi Arabia and Poland to go far. I think I am out of the competition. My bet was in the wind, and I do not know if a miracle will happen that will make me move to the second round.

The Argentinian press at this moment says Enzo Fernandez its gonna be in the initial 11, but are full rumours, lets see, i think i put him to play, but like i said before i dont remember.

He really deserves a first team start if you ask me, he was instrumental in changing the pace of the game and scored a nice goal. We will see if that is enough to book a place in first 11 for Argentina.

28 people have submitted on time, meaning that 4 players still did not send the answers.
We will keep it open, answer whenever but your answers for the games that started will be void.

We can only hope that these players forgot and not that they realized they cannot progress so they did not want to bet. We will check, if that is the case these players will be automatically removed from all competitions Cro2 team does in the future.
Let's be fair to Sportsbet as well, the requirements are really put at a bare minimum. Do your part, that's the least you can do.

@Renato297, if you do not provide your betslip before the first game tomorrow, you will be banned from the competition. Don't try to game the system and calculate whether you'll pass the group or not.

I understand that the death part is only to motivate the players not to give up, but he actually kept his promise after they beat Argentina, giving each player the latest Rolls Royce, but you never know what would happen to the coach and players if they failed to qualify after giving the country so much hope. I am aware of an African Olympic team that was imprisoned following a poor performance at the Olympics; the country gave them everything, but they did not return with a single medal. They returned every penny spent to their government. The Mexico team looks old, and Argentina and Saudi Arabia deserve to go through for the beautiful football they have given us thus far. If Argentina wins by four goals and Mexico-Saudi Arabia play a 0-0 tie, Saudi Arabia qualifies on goal difference.

This simply proves that you can't pay a player or a team to be better than someone else. I didn't watch the game but they might have won just because Argentina had a bad day. If that was the case then all the money in the world can't make them qualify for the next round if they are not good enough. Besides, this is football. It's normal for a weaker team to win one game.

And like every other team, you'll need a little bit of luck to succeed. If your opponents play as well as you do, the game will probably end in a draw. Don't discedit the Suadis because they were the lucky and won just like everybody else.. I still need to win Argentina, Spain, and Saudi Arabia to wcash my $100. Grin

I took some risks just for the heck of it in Round 3 and if mitch takes points on them while I lose, he'll overtake me. Was so sure Iran would be trying more shots and instead, even with Pulisic off, they allowed so many attempts and tried to get soft penalties too often. Anyway, yes I'm happy now but it's 8 points left to get, a lot can happen Wink

You need to pay attention to guys like slackovic though, they're scary good Wink

Im the only one having the same issue like in Superbru?, lets me explain, after i put the picks/selections, i dont remember what shit i put, and now i dont remember what i answer XD.

The Argentinian press at this moment says Enzo Fernandez its gonna be in the initial 11, but are full rumours, lets see, i think i put him to play, but like i said before i dont remember.

It's really why I'm opening the app so much, not that it changes anything, but I honestly can't remember the picks I put it unless I'm betting on the game on scores or goals.

Rumours are fun, they trick you into a false sense of security Wink

That said, I'm all in on Argentina again. Thanks to favourites hitting it off (sans Ecuador).
