The Syndicate

I haven't followed football much at all since the last WC so I probably have outdated perspectives on who's good and stuff lol. I'll have to do some research on who's still playing that I know of and who the new hot names are

I mean, fuck, the Dutchies didn't qualify? It's a different world these days, man...

okaayyyyyyy heere we gooooooo I'm gonna feel like my picks are lame/cookie-cutter/easy aghh


Round of 16
A: Uruguay, Russia
B: Portugal, Spain
C: Denmark, France
D: Argentina, Nigeria
E: Costa Rica, Brazil
F: Mexico, Germany
G: England, Belgium
H: Senegal, Colombia

QF:
Uruguay, Denmark
Germany, Colombia
Portugal, Argentina
Brazil, Belgium

Semis: Uruguay, Germany, Portugal, Brazil

Final:
4th: Portugal
3rd: Germany
2nd: Uruguay
1st: Brazil

Syndicator to win it all: Isn't this saying that someone else's predictions will be more accurate than mine... so I guess I can pick someone else to make up for the points if I do badly on my own picks? I guess? hmmm i'll go with wolbre.
Golden Ball: Neymar
Golden Boot: Cavani
Golden Glove: Muslera

You can pick yourself if you like.

Yeah I thought about it, would make some sense but it also works as a fallback if I end up being very wrong lol

and sloon yeah I like to try to get a couple unconventional picks in cause it's fun to root for upsets but still play it reasonably safe

For game 1, let's say Russia 2-0

am i seeing correctly

did i miss one of the best upsets yet

WHYYYY

Colombia played like shit.

Japan did their best which isn't much but is enough to beat a team who is playing like shit.

Colombia used their hand to stop a goal that was probably doing to be defended anyway. Got a penalty and a red card for the trouble.

1,50m Japanese player scoring a head goal over Colombia's barrier.

All three goals were on dead ball plays because neither team was competent enough to score otherwise.

You didn't miss much tbh.

Yikes that all sounds pretty bad. Red card 3 minutes in is pretty deserving of shame.

I don't get how that wasn't offside but whatever I'm not a sports

also I only saw a shitty replay so probably missed something

Mmm score margin

Portugal 3-0 Morocco
Uruguay 3-0 Saudi Arabia
Iran 0-2 Spain

Denmark 2-0 Australia
France 0-1 Peru
Argentina 0-1 Croatia

Yes.

Including Neymar punching the ball to show how mad he is at the judge not giving him a penalty for falling on purpose, and getting a yellow card for the trouble.

Ugh and it paid off for him with both the goals in extra time. Laaaaame
