#1007

a lot of us scored 12/16 but only [mention]melatonii[/mention] got a whooping 14/16 correct in pre-game predictions for the group stages! JJJ was also the only to score 13/16.

group stage player pre game prediction scores:

Spoiler: show

#1008

France vs Argentina - 0-1
Uruguay vs Portugal - 2-2 (portugal on penalties)

4 years should be enough for you to change your mind.

I would love this if Mexico beat Brazil.

I don’t see it. Mexico will always let you down.

But I’m rooting for a Croatia vs Belgium final

#1018

Looks like those that predicted Tunisia Panama 2-1 got two points instead of 3

#1019

I'm sorry. I am numerically dyslexic. I've kept record of all predictions in first post to check whenever I have time. I'll do that later.

#1020

I'm assuming we're just predicting the scores after 90 minutes? Put predictions for the final result next to the draws just in case not....

France 2-1 Argentina
Uruguay 0-0 Portugal (Urugauy win on penalties)
Spain 3-1 Russia
Croatia 2-0 Denmark
Brazil 1-1 Mexico (Brazil to win 3-1 AET)
Belgium 3-0 Japan
Sweden 1-1 Switzerland (Switzerland to win 2-1 AET)
Colombia 2-2 England (Colombia win on penalties for M A X I M U M C O M E D Y)

#1021

Argentinaaaaaaaaaa

**http://www.last.fm/user/nutella23** · #1022

Holy crap it's already 3-2 welp gg

#1023

Dis game

#1024

#1025

Argentina has 4 minutes left and they chose to spend them kicking a ball on a fallen opponent, then bitching about a yellow card.

The ref did not compensate the time they blew.

Welp. Hope Argentina has grown up by 2022.

#1026

Rip to my dreams. Time to cheer on Sweden.

#1027

Argentina deserved to lose, but boy they know how to put up a fight. That was great watching. France can definitely win this thing.

#1028

Portugal/Uruguay got pretty sloppy. Portugal totally lost their composure and I thought the better team won.

#1029

Spain 3 Russia 1
Croatia 2 Denmark 1

#1030

Spain 2-0 Russia
Croatia 2-1 Denmark

#1031

Spain 2-1 Russia

Croatia 2-0 Denmark

#1032

Sadly I'll be doing stuff with humans who don't care about in the evening and will miss CroatiaxDenmark but I am expecting a tight amazing game.

SpainxRussia.....I should probably predict more goals. When Russia is losing, they are sloppy.

#1033

Let's go 4-1 with Spain vs Russia

#1034

look at Mother Russia now

#1035

Russia is a boring upset. I still just assume they're all doping. They're not a fun underdog to root for.

#1036

Crushed Portugal is out, too bad about Argentina, but goddam it I totally nailed the prediction for Spain 1 Russia 1 (Russia wins on pens).

#1037

I agree, but hey I’m fine with them taking Spain out. They need to lose the next one.

I do apologise I forgot to do this so Ignore the ones that are live or have started

Phase 3: Round of 16

Games in Chronological Order

Monday 2 July
Brazil vs Mexico - (Match 53) 3-1
Belgium vs Japan - (Match 54) 4-1

Tuesday 3 July
Sweden vs Switzerland - (Match 55) 3-2 I can't believe that I'm predicting Sweden to fucking advance again

Colombia vs England - (Match 56) 2-4

If my newfound faith in Sweden fails me:

#1041

I love these black Croatian uniforms.

#1042

Yeah they’re good stuff.

#1043

Whoa, last minute penalty miss.

#1044

I was all in on Croatia but I sort of want the Denmark penalties win after that save.

#1045

Holy shit these penalties

#1046

Subasic the hero

#1047

That was fantastic. Subasic already looked like a candidate for golden glove after pool play but he definitely does now.

#1048

Already have the same points in these last two days I got in all of the third round.

#1049

This is exactly how I felt. I’ve adopted Croatia as my new team, but after that save I found myself kind of rooting for Denmark. It would have been awesome. Great game either way. Both teams could have won and it would have been well deserved.

#1050

Mexico 1 Brazil 1, Mexico wins in penalties
Belgium 3 Japan 0
