Portugal have to go without Ronaldo again in next round, unquestionably better without him despite what his army of danger acolytes (and sponsors) may think

No real skin in the game, I don't have any issue with exaggerated dancing as a celebration and definitely more important stuff to be getting bothered about but the fact Brazil did big extended celebrations after every single goal when going up 4-0 inside the first 40 mins against relative minnows did seem to be leaning a bit too heavy on the bravado for me

Better spectacle than I expected, need a Poland goal ASAP in second half

Who is this team and what have they done with the Poland that played the last three matches

Netherlands are probably favs against this Argentina for me

Was looking at the guy ducked down running along inside the advertising boards and totally missed that

Did I just see Tim Krul in the crowd?

Definitely not a vintage Dutch side with the exception of a few players but they're executing a game plan and have exploited US weaknesses well. US should still get more chances but hard to see them not conceding again if things continue in similar vein.

Peter Walton on to say its definitely the right decision

Morocco look capable of giving anyone a match tbf, some weaknesses in midfield but very solid everywhere else

As entertaining as Mexico were tonight they were absolutely terrible and negative as fuck for the first two matches so meh

Saudi Mexico looks set to be a roller coaster last 40 mins anyway

Just came to comment on Saudi price looking big, had a bit on KSA draw no bet @ 3/1

Lack of cutting edge the most noticeable thing with that Denmark side for sure, that and the apparent lack of giving a fuck

Aye, fair play to Aussies certainly more than sum of their parts. Tunisia would probably have beat Danes if being more aggressive when playing them in match 2 or 3 though too tbf.

Sickener for Tunisia but they fucked it by losing to Aus

Not sure how arsed Denmark are about going out tbh

Khaz for me like

Aussies being awful is hardly news but quite surprising how insipid Denmark have been in every match pretty much

Thought Tunisia looked decent against Denmark but shite against Australia, can see Aussies shithousing a result today but hopefully Tunisia can make things interesting by showing up against the French reserves

Was facts not stats but point stands

You can prove anything with stats

Some of those Iranian shenanigans at end were farcical, have they scrapped yellow cards for simulation?

That defending

The concept of Kane as a sweeper striker is an interesting one. England will surely win but they don't give themselves much margin for error.
