More than half of the game and Japan still in lead only to find themselves that are lost in the end. What a twist that is!. But congrats to Belgium tho. Their plays are everywhere in the first half. But they upped their game in the second half. I felt they played better in Group Stages than in this Knockout.....!?. So it's going to be Brazil Vs Belgium in Quarters.

I am pretty neutral about today's knockouts..... would be fine with whoever wins and goes through to Quarters.

Sweden beat Switzerland. After they scored, they didn't want to take more risks and play more defensively.
Wonder who they gonna face later....Colombia or England.

Haha...nah, it will be Courtois vs Brazil like the other matches Brazil has played.



Some changes plus Japanese GK positional mistake helped Belgium.
Yeah.........like you mentioned before, Japan's weakness was their defence.

was so stressed watching colombia be assholes - what happened to them? They weren't like this four years ago.
Me to mate.. but I have to say Harry Kane.. this guy is so fuckin confident and such a driving force. I hate Tottenham but you got to love this guy if you're english! <3

We played too defensively the whole game though, we should have put on more pressure. Columbia had no chance what so ever and we let them back in the game because of one corner... We have to step up our offensive play going forward in this tournament.

Yeah he's so cool with whatever he does

Well said, we had the ball a lot and played well just needed to push their defense harder.

Look who's back, where were you? >__> xd

What a boring day of football, sigh. No wonder after yesterday's crazyness I suppose. Now for a 2 days break... Suppose I'll head out and take a look at the sun for a change, lmao.

Match Predictions;

Uruguay 0-2 France

Brazil 3-3 Belgium (Brazil through on Pens, sorry Cali!)

Last remaining fav on the other side of the fixture survived xd

Carry on England, prove to the underdogs and non-favs what is to be a top team of world football. Top teams always made to the final. Crush the underdogs' dream like you crashed Colombia's dream.

Lol it was, Spain dominated Russia with 70++% possession. But Russia won penalty kick out thus advanced to Quarter Final.
Well true!. Can't say anything other than it is just not their day to win. With 79% Possession and controlling most of the game with their passes, one could say that it is sad to see spain lose. But let us not take away the credit from Russia that they did relatively good with whatever chances they got.

Uruguay Vs France
Brazil Vs Belgium
Russia Vs Croatia
Sweden vs England

Quarters...... hahah

The quarterfinals look interesting. I'm rooting for Uruguay and England on this one. Both teams have not won a WC for a long time, and this WC can be their comeback.

For the other matches, I'm rooting Croatia and Belgium who can possibly win their first WC.

This World Cup has been full of surprises, but the teams I mentioned are my picks for the final four.

I don't buy it.... :rolleyes:

Top 3 most boring matches this Worldcup?
Yes... I added a questionmark to suit my own comment, lol XD But at least it will get interesting.

So yeah, hard to say... There has been a ton of matches that had extremely boring first halves but picked themselves up in the second half but few that were boring all-around I'd say, but still, I'll try... Only counting the ones I've seen though and that I recall from the top of my head, as I've deliberately missed some of them or been at work for others. Top 3 Boring/Disappointing Matches (in order);

1; Denmark 0-0 France (the only 0-0 match in the tournament so far. The 2nd half the most boring of the entire tournament).

2; Iceland 0-2 Nigeria (the first half alone puts it on the list, Nigeria attempted 0 shots! And Iceland, well... Iceland is Iceland).

3; England 0-1 Belgium (reserves vs reserves, it was kind of expected, but still the potential it could have had made it even more disappointing).

Agree? Disagree? Any matches missing?




Oh and let me add to that by putting up my Top 3 games so far;

1; Belgium 3-2 Japan (the best 2nd half in recent memory).

2; Spain 3-3 Portugal (two teams that seemingly threw defense out the window and just went for it, having much to prove. Explosive from the start to finish).

3; France 4-3 Argentina (counter-attacking football at its finest, but also some dreamy FIFA like long-shots to top as the iceing on the cake).

You know, despite being such an underdog, England might actually make it, lol. Just because of the path they have before them. In fact, every team on that side of the bracket has a chance at reaching the final by the pure luck of the pre-made draw, and maybe just like Portugal in the Final of the Euro 2016, they only need to play beyond capabilities in one game to win it, but then again, I don't think we'll have a repeat of that so with that said, I'll now say that England will lose in the final, haha, just to make it worse, mhm...
