Eh I don't think Croatia is a super team or anything, but the other three are just woeful. Russia is too bad and only have good stamina (I guess), Sweden can't score unless they get a penalty or a lucky deflection and England has 0 creativity in midfield, they only have a bunch of runners and Kane.

Croatia and 3 very average teams for a place in the final.

Yeeeeeeeeesssssssss

Because they had James playing and the coach didn't go full defensive retard. They are great team when they aren't sabotaging themselves.

Pekerman wasted Colombia 60 minutes by making them play with 3 defense midfielders. He must think he's Sampaoli.

How does France have more quality than Brazil? - the goalkeepers are pretty much the same level. -Brazil has better and more secure CBs. -in full backs is even but only because the best from Brazil are injured. -Kante is a bit better than Casemiro and Fernandinho, but they are probably the best and second best in the world of that position. -Paulinho and Coutinho are much better than Matuidi/Pogba. -Neymar is better than Griezmann but Mbappe is better than William. -Both Jesus and Firmino are leagues above Giroud. All considered it's very similar with an slight advantage to Brazil in quality.

I see your other post, you just disagree with the rule being what it is now. Fair then.

So... are you blind then?

No, it isn't a red card with the new rules. Yellow is correct.

Schmeichel did all he could but his teammates forgot their aim in the changing rooom. As I said before the game, Croatia played their first real game today (because Nigeria and Argentina are joke teams), and what was seen isn't satisfactory. Anyway, in a normal day they should pass Russia who are clearly weaker than Denmark.

Lol you can hear the argentinians that had tickets for this game singing ole ole ole

Croatia should be careful because they will play their first serious opponent today.

I hope Uruguay can win, Ronaldo happy would make this day too sad for me.

It's not their fault, midfield must provide coverage and it was non existent. I'm very disappointed with the coach, I thought he was good at the time, but he made all kind of stupid decisions and formations in the year he has been in charge.

It is what it is. Many of these players can't run more than 60 minutes. Even with a lead their legs can't respond anymore.

Despite the goal Sampaoli has to sub in Agüero or Higuaín right now. We need Messi to create play not to be doing nothing up above.

For the first time with this format no african teams in round 16.

For sure: Hockey m&w Volleyball m Maybe: Basketball m Football m Handball m Volleyball w (depends on Brazil)

Yes, asian teams are the greatest surprise for me. I expected them all to finish with 0 points but at the end all of them got points! On the other hand african teams have disappointed.

I think some people here cheer against Germany because of you, not because of the country. It isn't my case though, i wanted Germany to advance because I didn't want Brazil to have a free pass to QF but oh well...

That Sweden-Switzerland match is gonna be so exciting... oh i can't wait for it.

The World cup champions and confederation cup champions' curses strike again.

It wasn't a penalty, just like the one of Nigeria and the one of Iran the day before weren't either. Not every handball is a pen.
