One side of the bracket is going to be stacked and have a possible quarter final battle between Messi & Ronaldo. I dont see either team making it out of the round of 16, but the way this World Cup is going, who knows what will happen.

Does anybody else in the world mistake Sweden for Switzerland beyond Americans?

Deno · June 28, 2018, 2:14pm

I think of my self has a stupid American and even I know the difference. Might be an age thing with me being 50.

B_Dizzo · June 28, 2018, 3:18pm

So basically neither belgium or England will want to win tonight because of the side of the draw they’ll be on?

Jonnieskull · June 28, 2018, 5:45pm

Jonnieskull · June 28, 2018, 5:48pm

Can we top our World Cup group for the first time since 1982.

Elliott316 · June 28, 2018, 7:48pm

Lets hope not…

Rated_R_Poster · June 28, 2018, 8:37pm

Big win for England today in my book. Columbia is a tough team, no doubt, but that left side of the bracket is death.

Starting XI yet to be tested by a good team. Could do well against Colombia, could get knocked out. Hard to tell. We’ve mainly had to rely on set pieces against Tunisia and Panama so I’m not that confident to be honest.

Jesse_from_the_6 · June 30, 2018, 4:51am

I stand corrected.

Jonnieskull · June 30, 2018, 2:15pm

Full time result

France 4 (Griezmann,12pen),(Pavard,57),(M’bappe,63,68) Argentina 3 (Di Maria,40),(Mercado,47),(Aguero,92)

GAME OF THE TOURNAMENT
