The World Cup 2018 (Football/Soccer)

[Future-Proof]

Hi y’all,

Who do you think will win? Who are you vying for and why?

The BBC predicted that Belgium will win this World Cup: (fascinating read)

I’m supporting England and Uruguay who have just beaten Portugal in a surprise victory in their first knockout match.

Ah! Finally a Futbol thread. I was hoping to get a rematch between the two power houses, Germany vs Brazil- but Germany never showed up to this cup. I'm cheering for Brazil. Been a fan and can still remember watching my first WC final at the age of 6 in 1994. Of course Brazil won that one!

I'm 2 for 2 for today's matches. Argentina barely got in and France has a great team with Griezmann and Mbappe. Was so glad that Uruguay sent Ronaldo home. (I'm a Barça fan)

Best quip yet: “Don't cry 4-3, Argentina”

There is another thread (The Football Thread 2017-2018) discussing this very topic, and has been for the past countless pages; I suggest that you ask ht mods to merge this thread with it.

Incredible. That same day Croatia vs Denmark went to extra time then penalties also! Both teams played well but despite Schmichael’s excellent goalkeeping Denmark’s pick of penalty players just missed too many times.
