VAR had nothing to do with that ref bottling the decision to send that smug prat Ronaldo off...any other player would of been sent off. Exactly my thoughts. Didn't want one of the big players banned for the Knock Out rounds.

I thought the Ronaldo decision was not quite so cut and dried. They were grappling with each other to get an advantage and he certainly catches him but was it blatant and deliberate? Too hard to say for me....one things for sure if it had been an England player he would have been sent off because our luck is historically **** in those circumstances :-)
Also Ronaldo is a smug prick. It was amusing to watch him miss that penalty though (according to interweb hes scored 104 and missed 20 in his career).

I hate this he missed a penalty, he didn’t miss, the keeper saved it, give the keeper some credit

Anyone willing to stick their head up and predict a winner?

I backed France from the start but think Croatia have a good chance with that midfield.

Anyone willing to stick their head up and predict a winner? I will be honest and say prior to the tournament I gave England no chance Have to say there are no teams to really fear though and weve been decent I won't predict us to win it though. But we've got a shout!

Talking about the World Cup I'm staggered by the number of South American fans who have travelled to Russia for this
Incredible support

But we've got a shout! You’ve played 2 poor teams and won well. Tomorrow will be the rest, not often I route for England but I am this year, bloody sweepstake

Reminds me of an article I read the other week on BBC where a head teacher in Cardiff wrote to parents telling them not to approach teachers with video evidence from their phones to protest about results in sports day like they did the previous year!

Because they've not played well - despite getting into the last 16 you can now get 12/1 on Argentina to win the trophy England fourth favourites now behind Brazil, Spain and Belgium I think this year any of the last 16 could beat anybody with a bit of luck on their side Its there to be won

I thought Germany would win it but after this weekend Brazil must be favourites.
I've been surprised how much I've enjoyed the world cup, mainly due to the enthusiasm my basketball mad 6 year old has shown for it. However watching those penalty shoot outs yesterday has brought back some really bad memories......not sure what it worse; going out on pens or just being humiliated by a team like Iceland! Either way a stark reminder of what it is usually like to be an England supporter!
If Harry Kane can nab a goal or too and we can ride our luck at the back then we can beat Colombia. They will feel exactly the same too and I suspect the Swiss and Swedes aren't quaking in their boots about meeting us if we do get pas Colombia.

I think pretty much any team left in it could win it now
Most wide open World Cup ever

France or Brazil would be my guess for winning the tournament.

France or Brazil would be my guess for winning the tournament. France, Brazil, Belgium, Uruguay (all dangerous teams BUT all in same half of draw now) .Only one of them can get to the final of course to trouble england The route to the final for England - anyone would have snapped your hand off for that at start of tournament columbia last 16 sweden or Switzerland quarter final croatia or Russia semi final fact is we could lose to any of those on way to final but there's no need to fear any of them and fact is we could ALSO beat all of them playing our best and with a bit of luck. There is nobody to fear. i think set pieces is our way to beat columbia

Apparently they missed out on a player as he didn't know where Braehead was. Love our Socckey's though /photo/1
