AHh tied again aight both goal margins so 4 pts for me then I'll take em

#952

Change

Belgium 2x1 England

#953

Boy watching that Sweden game was fun. I always had faith in them and they were outplaying Mexico by a mile even before the goals came in.

#954

Love seeing the favorites drop. No team from a continent other than Europe or South America has ever won this thing, so all of my rooting interest is in bucking that trend.

#955

I only got 1 point today but it was a great point!

Still mad about how Ghana got absolutely robbed in 2010 tbh

#958

I'm torn on England vs Belgium

The two teams are very offensive

But whoever wins will go to the side of the bracket where all the champions are.

And whoever loses will go to the side that only has Spain.

I know, sucks right?

But to be fair the winner still has probably Poland or Senegal first up, and at that point it’s Brazil that haven’t looked that great, and you’re in the semis.

And I’m not convinced that France or Argentina are truly that threatening either.

But the idea of a quarter of the draw being Switzerland, Sweden, Colombia and Belgium is compelling.

#962

Poland is out

#963

I’m all about a Croatia Spain quarterfinal right now. Croatia is a team I’m now fully backing

Sorry, Japan. I still can’t fathom that.

#965

As for Brazil, I'm not sure. Never underestimate it.

I just read a sports journalist saying this was Brazil's best WC game since 2002, and this guy knows his shit.

#966

At this point I am ashamed to admit it but I'm 100% rooting against Brazil.

I hate this team, I hate Neymar, I hate this yellow shirt and I hate it every time I see the media praising them.

Not sure why people didn't enjoy Portugal, Morocco - is it a sort of 'non-neutral observer' phenomenon? I thought Morocco played well and enjoyed watching them, never mind that Portugal wasn't great. That guy on the wing (Amrabat), he was good watching.

See my Mexico prediction from earlier.

#968

Honestly after all this time, my team is Belgium.

Because of this:

https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us ... ngs-to-say

And because they are the most offensive team in the WC.

Give me the team that gets 5-2 victories, plz.

#969

That said if the winner is another newcomer/Uruguay I'm happy too. Heck, I'm starting to be fond of Argentina.

Just don't give this to Brazil plz.

Belgium vs England virtually unwatchable

#986

I knew Belgium would win tbh. England didn't want to win. 0 motivation.

#987

I'm driving home so I'll update scores tonight or tomorrow early morning.

If you guys predict knock out stages remember that some.games can go to penalties so to get full score you'd have to predict score after extra time and who wins penalties.

So we should say whether the final score is full time or aet? And then if we predict a draw after aet, who wins on penalties?

What will the points be - eg for correctly predicting that a game goes to extra time, or that it goes to penalties?

#989

You just have to mention added extra time if you're predicting game ends in a draw and goes to penalties, otherwise I don't care.

So 1-1 after added extra time and Argentina to win in penalties for example.

3 points for exact correct winner and score

2 points for correct score difference

1 point for correct winner

#990

I edited my reply Golden

#991

Hoo boy, those three point games just got even tougher

Lucky I have my handy dandy sports almanac from the future here. It says Japan wins the cup, everyone!

#992

Oh, ok. Now those three point games just got a little less tough again.

#993

Yea I don't want to make it impossible to score 3 I decided

#994

Take your time doing the scores, I wanna enjoy the sight of myself in 1st place before reality kicks in.

Because this 3rd round was a massacre.
