These two results were really unexpected. I did not expect Wawrinka and Norrie to win these two matches. But I think we can say that when we look at the skill level of their opponents, that’s when we think they should not have won this match. But when we look at the condition of their opponents, Rublev, and Tsitsipas, I think this loss somehow makes a bit of sense, to be honest. Because they were not in the most ideal shape. But Wawrinka actually defied the odds to win the match. This was a remarkable performance from him considering his age.

Indeed the official timing ended and they will move to penalties. Croatia was quite solid in this match and scoring a goal after almost losing the game was impressive!
Now it is more about luck rather than skills! Brazil is in crisis right now and risk to be eliminated

Martinelli have mentioned on different occasions that he is bent on extending his contract with the club and wants to stay so I don't understand where this news of a possible move is coming from. Barcelona have many wingers in their squad, I'm quite confident that Martinelli will stay and extend his contract with Arsenal for more years to come.

France is likely in my mind, but Brazil confuses me a bit as well.  Due to Netherlands not looking great, and Argentina looking better, I feel like Argentina will come out of there, but they are the team that lost to Saudi Arabia in my mind, so Brazil should beat Croatia and then beat Argentina.

On the other side, Portugal should easily defeat Morocco, seems like child’s play but you never know, and England is great but France looks even better, Mbappe factor is big and he could get the game himself if he plays wonderfully, then beat Portugal. So, finals of Brazil and France is on everyone’s mind. I am guessing anyone could win at this point but this is likely situation.

I sure hope we (Croatia) will rise up to the occasion and make it though for Brazil. They are much stronger side but I feel like we have our shot. This is the time when final goal justifies all means necessary and if I were in charge of Croatia I would try to provoke them and stop the game as much as possible. Not very popular tactics but could be very effective with some Brazilan players. Of course all that can only work if we stop Brazil from scoring in first 60 minutes or so.

I see Argentina getting trough tomorrow. I just believe Messi factor will be enough to tip the scales in the end.

Messi, Neymar and Mbappe all are still continuing in the World Cup which must be worrying news for PSG. Because even if one this great trio gets a serious injury then they might have a really big problem against Bayern Munich. PSG have got a very tough draw in last 16 round already. I assume they were hoping to face a weaker team. Now it is more important for them to keep their best players healthy.

Especially Neymar is very injury-prone. He already got an injury too as you know but he is good now. If he gets another one then it might be more serious. Because we are in the later stages of the World Cup and teams would try to defend their opponents harder then before.

Bayern Munich wouldn't give up on Musiala already now. They are not the Dortmund type of a team. I mean that Dortmund would have been okay to selling him for a big amount of money to increase their profits in the season. Because their main goal is just to make the profit in their target by buying and selling skilled young players. They aren't fighting seriously for the Bundesliga title like Bayern Munich. However Musiala is a Bayern Munich player and we all must be knowing how much they care about keeping these skilled youngsters in the team.

I assume Kimmich would be a great example about this. They signed him while he was 20. Now he has a very important role in the starting eleven.

Raheem Sterling back for England but I expect the three lions to beat France without him. Just as long as Kyle Walker can limit Mbappe.

Luis Enrique fires (or did he quit?) from the Spanish national team, he should go back to Real Madrid once Ancelotti retires (well, I think he used to coach Madrid, anyway).

France and Brazil are very worthy teams for this year's World Cup final. The style of play of both the teams is highly commendable. In the match between Brazil and Croatia, I am very sure that Brazil will win.

I might be a little skeptical of Juventus and Milan this time around. The reason for Milan at the moment is that they are still having financial problems and most likely they will only be with the same squad after half of the season and will only experience a few changes in players.
As for Juventus they have more serious problems now so this could affect their performance when they are on the rise.

I expected that it will be more difficult game for Netherlands, they didn't impressed me in group stage and I liked how USA looked there. But today Netherlands remind me team that they had in 2010-2014.
Argentina - Australia. Unbeleavable, but true - Messi scored his 1st play-off round goal in his 5th World Cup. Argentina controlled game until Australia scored goal out of nowhere and it made last 15 minutes very interesting. That moment when Australian defender went through maybe 4 Argentina players and almost scored goal was amazing.
Argentina - Netherlands in 1/4 final, this is where big games begins 

Well, before tournament Mexico reaching next round didn't looked like obvious scenario, they're not that much better team than Poland. And Serbia, they have some good players, but they never had good perfromances at big tournaments. Personally, in FIFA predictor I marked both these teams on 3rd place before tournamnet.

Australia has 3 mins to do what they not done in last 90 minutes
to score a goal - and take the lead - but Argeninte is making attempts on attempt to score a goal

NEW INJURY UPDATES

This particular update and almost got me really worried, and it is regarding Gabriel Jesus who picked up an injury in Brazil's last game against Cameroon and has been ruled out of the world cup with possible fear of missing out some games in the Premier League, very disturbing news for Arsenal. Alex Telles has also been ruled out for Brazil, another challenge for them.

Tite's options on the bench are slowly been reduced by injuries, Brazilian's will be worried if injuries will be the problem of Brazil in this world cup.

yeah first goal by Messi from Argentina . The goal was due to a mistake by Australia.  Due to a foul by an Australian player, Argentina got a good chance to take control of the ball near the penalty area.  And Argentina took advantage of that opportunity to score a goal through Messi . it was soo great

I guess Switzerland will have their job made easy with Portugal. Portugal is not playing well at all, so the Swiss team should have their way opened on to the quarter finals

I'm afraid that the Portuguese squad is struggling with its organization amount other issues as is the trainer relation with some of the players. It already had its toll and it clearly showed its impact on the last game with Korea. So this should be an easy peasy bet.

Anything can happen as we saw in the World Cup match this time, including the United States making a big surprise by beating Argentina. Very difficult, indeed I admit it is very difficult to see such a big surprise. They will try their hardest and give their all. I think Argentina will dominate the game and America will try to counterattack. I wanted to see how effective the strategies the two trainers would implement.
