left bracket is insanely tough while the other is pure trash
Brazil, Uruguay, Belgium and France, while the other side has England/Colombia, Croatia, Russia and Sweden/Switzerland

I think France and Uruguay are playing better than Brazil

Unfortunately, Cavani will miss the rest of the World Cup, so Uruguay won't be nearly as good... Suarez, Cavani combo is probably the best one on the WC. If Neymar wasn't pure trash, the Coutinho,Neymar combo would've been just as lethal

France is probably gonna take the cup, but I feel like they will have tough times if Mbappe & Griezmann both have a bad day.

I'm guessing Columbia throws England out of the competition today

The thing making England the good bet today @1.6 currently to qualify is that their players will be a lot fresher than Colombians. And when you probably have to play for 2 hours it makes the big difference, plus any corner for England might have lethal consequence and one can safely make greedy bets before such situations.

France without Matuidi will have its biggest test next match. The match may very possibly go to penalties.

Mbappe is an insane mix from Pele and CR. I am really looking forward to him and whether he manages to bring down Messi from the throne during his (Mbappe) career. Will have to score much however, like insanely much. But who won't in order to do this?

No attempt to play with the ball, yellow otherwise.

My World Cup Experience

I've been mostly trying to avoid the world cup this year. My sister is married to a Colombian. We identify with England or rather my family does. I refuse to root for any nationality whose national anthem is "God Save the Queen." I like watching Brasil play, I have a soft spot for France when they are playing well. Spain in 2010 was one of my favorites.

So, I sit down to watch the game and I am a little early so I get punished with an influx of commercials. That is really the content of the game to the corporations. The match is just "filler" for the "content" of advertisements. So, we not only get a competition between England v Columbia, we get Nike v Adidas, Gatorade v Powerade, Ford F-150 v Chevy Silverado. Great. This is exactly how I want to be spending my time. Then I am mostly bored with the game but I do catch myself in a flow state at times. Living vicariously through the tiny avatars on the screen. Harry Kane our hero! Until England massively fucks it up again. All square going into extra time. This is what the world cup is all about besides the 30 min. or so of corporate propaganda being slotted in wherever possible.

i've been rooting for croatia the whole world cup, they been playing well, and fair, and are the underdogs.

Also, for comparison. switzerland vs sweden, its 1v1 against the goal keeper, and they get a red card. croatia vs denmark its 1v0, all he has to do is put it in the net, and he gets yellow card.

Imo the rules should be that both were red cards, but the croatia one was worse. Or is there a difference between pushing someone over and tripping them with your legs?

and yeah pretty obvious england thew their last group stage game to get into the eazy mode bracket.

football has always have deliberately bad rules for "circus" purposes kind of like the WWE, no other sport shows the lack of sportsmanship that football does.

Thats why every player dives non-stop like idiots, the referees rarely apply the yellow cards for faking therefore its EV+ to continue faking, FIFA could end this ridiculous crap overnight but they choose not to, referees play a villian role.


Anyway all that was to say that yellowcard for that is retarded, even when it was red it was still the best play to foul a player with a high chance to score and now they made it even worse

How is it the best play to foul the player in the penalty area when 90% of the cases you get a red card and he scores a goal, so not only does your team suffer a scored goal but now they have to compensate for a whole player... I never understood that , just let him score but don't fuck up your team

Yep, this will always be the best play in situations when a few minutes remain until penalties without a goalkeeper are introduced to the game.

Yellow card in a situation vs Croatia IS the proper decision/ruling as explained why above. The bad ruling is that a penalty with a goalkeeper makes the situation from a 99,9% sure goal to a 85-90% sure.

Yet the same situation could (theoretically) happen outside the penalty area. And by the current rules it won't be a penalty at all, just a foul. So a lot for the people in FIFA making the rules to think about as you said. They do however showed they want to improve the game with the VAR system. Now what's left is make the applied rules by the VAR system more objective and fair for every team plus of course make new rules strengthening fair play (Colombia vs England was a really bad match for an observer just introduced to football for example because of the players abusing the rules and the followed up constant fouls and arguing with the referee).

Just googled, the odds in worldcups to score are 71%, there are certain situations that have a higher chance of scoring like a 1v1 vs a goalkeepr or worse when the goal keepr is out of position etc. Also the impact of a redcard late in the game is very minimal

I am actually getting drawn into this world cup. I don't think I give a shit about Croatia v Russia and England v Sweden has the likelihood to be dull but I am exited about watching Brasil play minus Neymar theatrics and I am pumped up about how France has been playing. This damn game gets me into a flow state when it's good and that is much of what I crave in life. The national pride and advertising induce nausea but there are ways to avoid it. Like simply avoiding it. I'll come watch the game AT kickoff and leave immediately AT half time and come back immediately AT kickoff.

Ahhh we don't get to see France vs Brazil damnit! That would've been the highlight of this world cup. In my biased opinion Brazil was better than Belgium by a large margin, they just missed soo much and that stupid autogoal... damn. I hope to be proven wrong and Belgium vs France ends up to be epic, but I predict a somewhat easy win for France say 2-0 or 2-1 while controlling the match for 80 minutes.

I think exactly the same about the matches. Probably wont even watch tomorrow and I jhavent missed many matches since the whole thing started. Dont mind the national pride and advertising. Advertising almost always feels and is fake as fuck and we def could do without it but its not going anywhere until we have unlimited resources for everyone so its pointless to be anoyed much by it.

Brazil played much better, but ofc beligum went turtle mode after it was 2-0, no need to take risks
lots of individual mistakes, Fernandinho made a lot of shit after the own goal and marcelo sucks balls defensively

also Tite insisted to play with Gabriel Jesus instead of Firmino, retarded

Dont listen to anything I say 

Spitfiree   Bulgaria. Jul 07 2018 16:29. Posts 9634

I wouldnt say Brazil played much better lmao, Neymar singlehandedly ruined at least 15 attacks ... what a joke, Belgium were much more dangerous when attacking, the possesion doesnt matter anymore, otherwise Barcelona and Spain/Germany would be running the show everywhere. Very deserved win for Belgium.... Neymar should've been benched for the whole WC after the first 2 matches of Brazil he is the most overrated player, there's literally not a single player that's worse than him in Brazil's team...

Also why didn't Douglas Costa start the match if he wasn't injured lmao ...


Belgium/France winner wins the whole thing, hope its Belgium vs Croatia final and I'd be very happy

The hell game did u watch buddy? Bad beat but that is the wc gamble with this shitty 1 game elimination crap.


Spitfiree   Bulgaria. Jul 08 2018 02:17. Posts 9634

yeah definitely bad beat

cool story

doesn't matter if you "attack" whole game if your attack is threatless... Coutinho was the only guy that mattered - just like it was the last 4 matches, except the moment he made that amazing shot, which got saved was the moment at least 2 ppl started instantly tackling him the second he touched the ball. Would've been fine if he had managed to carry Brazil's team again, except this time it wasn't enough (and it should not be expected of him)
