China has been pretty lacklustre tbh. This ain't the 90s anymore. If you can't beat then now, you probably never will. I'd say Italy is the favorite in there. The whole Olympics qualifying could be sorted out very quickly. England vs USA and Netherlands vs Germany are very feasible as World Cup SF and that would take care of all that.

Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 20, 2019 #393 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Sweden rested 4 players so they've punted this one away. USA 1-0 after 2 minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 20, 2019 #396 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Chile misses a penalty for 3-0 (crossbar). Keeper stayed on the line all the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 20, 2019 #397 Share Posted June 20, 2019 2-0 for Chile so they go out. Germany vs Nigeria, England vs Cameroon & France vs Brazil are the last three matches in R16. Benolympique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted June 20, 2019 #398 Share Posted June 20, 2019 If they took the Africa-South America play-off quota and either give it to Europe or have it like before where the host quota is subtracted from the continent and then have that continent have a play-off with Europe it would be fine without needing an extra tournament.

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted June 20, 2019 #399 Share Posted June 20, 2019 So looking at the bracket, France will probably be hoping one of Australia/Canada/Japan sneak into the semi-finals to force a European play-off for the last Olympic spot(s). Sadly, things don't look so great for Spain, it's hard to see fewer than 3 European teams advancing to the quarter-finals. England and Germany will be heavy favourites to advance while France will be the favourite against Brazil and even then it would require all of Norway, Italy, Netherlands and Sweden to lose their match as well.

Japan & China have looked pretty bleak in this tournament, Netherlands have some weaknesses at the back and Italy are doing much better than expected tbh. If Canada beats Sweden, they'll still have to go thru Germany in QF. The closest QF could be Norway vs England for de facto Olympic spot. Netherlands vs Italy could be really close too.
