Really, whoever started this world cup betting on the favorites must have already lost a lot of money, because this world cup is being something "very crazy".
In fact, Japan's victory over Spain is something that has contradicted all odds on sports betting sites, and lucky are those who "bet with their hearts" and not with statistical numbers.
Japan is classified for the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar in first place, who would have imagined such an optimistic scenario in a group that had the "almighty" Germany, four times world champion and Spain?

Anyway... we have already defined some clashes of the round of 16 that will be:
- Japan vs Croatia
- Morocco vs Spain
- Netherlands vs USA
- Argentina vs Australia
- France vs Poland
- England v Senegal

Anyone still dare to place a bet?
I confess to you that I am quite scared

I had some major losses months ago and decided to quit gambling. I could continue betting, coming back with a larger bankroll to recover losses with fast and few bets like OP is doing and displaying with his currently statistics, but I prefered to not risk anymore. Good for him that he is making awesome progress so far, however, we know it's not possible to maintain results sustainable on long run. Inevitably it becomes a snowball of unrecoverable losses after a while.

Germany had a very good comeback against Costa Rica tonight, but they were eliminated from the tournament when they did not get the news they expected from the match between Japan and Spain. Gary Lineker's memorable words about the Germans have not come true in the last two world cups. He had already limited it to history (https://twitter.com/garylineker/status/1012001314094682112).

In my opinion, the early elimination of the Germans from the tournament will be added to the most important statistical data of this tournament. It was also an unforgettable event that Japan became the group leader when they were in the same group as Spain and Germany. I think this world cup has very enjoyable moments.

Mbappe only wants one thing - money, this became clear after he refused to move to Real Madrid because PSG offered fabulous money. He has effectively sold his dream... Lately you can see his attitude on the field, everyone should give him a pass and should help him, at Real it will not be like that, you either play with the team, or you do not play at all, maybe that`s why he can not play in RM

It looks like Germany is starting to find it hard to qualify for the next round even though now Germany is still superior to Costa Rica, but Germany's fate is now determined by the results of the match between Spain and Japan because now Japan has won over Spain after scoring its second goal. And if Spain really loses today's match, then the ones who qualify for the next round will be Japan and Spain, while Germany and Costa Rica will have to go home.

The match between Croatia and Belgium is a life and death match in this match because both of them will be determined to win in order to qualify for the next round, their game is very careful, especially in defense.
It looks like in the second half the match will be more interesting because both of them have to score goals and win the match, in the second half Mertens is replaced by Romelu Lukaku, and hopefully Belgium can score a goal.

The Iran vs USA match was very interesting from the start.  In this match, Iran tried to score from the first to the last time, but Iran could not score.  USA missed a lot of goals, with a little better effort USA could have scored another goal. But in this match USA played great. They scored 1 goal and won the match.

So far is going your way as 0-0 and Argentina in the first half did not show any good attacking or anything to show its supremacy and if this game ends in a draw they sure are still in the game to qualify further if they win with more than 2 or 3 goals difference against Poland but that is going to be difficult for them.If they don't win tonight it shows that they were all hype and nothing real,it is a shame because Di Maria,Messi and Lautaro are the best attack in theory but this is not being shown in practice.

For the top 10 I think it is easy to get there,I am 9 points away from top place and I am in 42th place so anything can happen in this pool,we are still early to recover.

It was a great work by Argentina!

They needed to win against Mexico so bad to be back in the game again. First they had a really big difficulty against the solid Mexico defense. Argentina were in control of the ball mostly but Mexico were still doing a great job about not giving much space to them. Messi also struggled a lot. But all this happened until the first goal. Messi finally scored the goal Argentina were searching for. This goal was devastating for Mexico and they had no choice other than starting to take risks. A 1-0 score was dangerous for Argentina but they finally sealed the deal by finding another in the last minutes.

Messi was the player of the game in my opinion after scoring 1 goal and making 1 assist.

Honestly Joa Felix really not comfortable with Atletico Madrid after losing opportunity with regular position in this season, I don't see any potential yet for him keep extended with Atletico Madrid contract runs until 2026. Its seems difficult with any new team want to signing Joa Felix with contract left until three years later and need to pay most expensive transfer values.

Move to Manchester United maybe good alternative but I don't think with Joa Felix can't filled position leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo because he not as real central forward and most active playing as second striker. I think Manchester United have position to filled with central forward and typical have by Joa Felix as winger or second striker position.

Saudi Arabia play today was a lot more than I expected from them (before this one, I told everyone, even Saudi Arabia attacked Argentina after they conceived goal, and we (Serbia) just continued to form bus in front of our goal against Brasil, but they are obviously good team)
but, Poland scored, Saudis missed penalty, and everything goes down the sink, points for Poland, but chance against Mexico is still there for them

We all know that Argentina is widely predicted to be the favorite to win the title in Qatar. And now they are hanging on to today's game, if they can win then they still have hope, but if they lose then Argentina will have to immediately take their bags from Qatar.
The match will enter the first 30 minutes, and there are no goals or even opportunities that have the potential to be scored. Argentina controlled the game and continued to press Mexico. But Mexico tried to implement a strategy of survival and more waiting.

Finally got my first exact score of the whole tournament and it was the France game,strange though as I saw the first half and none of the teams had clear occasions for goals but apparently the second half was better as I was on the move and didn't watch it but I am happy for such result,this restored my lost confidence in this tournament as I kept asking myself how come in all these games I never got an exact score but now I am relaxed.

Let's see if Argentina will win tonight after 1 hour as they have it as paramount if they don't want to go home since the group stages,last time they were eliminated in group stages has been in 2002.

Because Saudi Arabia in the previous match was able to beat Argentina with a score of 2-1, so I think playing against Poland even though Poland is the favorite team in this match, but at least I'm sure Saudi Arabia won't lose with a two goal gap. I'm also basically not sure that Poland will win and therefore, in my prediction this match will end in a draw or Poland will win only with a score of 1-0 or 2-1.
Lol, Saudi Arabia failed to convert the penalty into a goal and in the end, Poland is still clean sheets so far and won against Saudi Arabia with a score of 2-0.

I bet on the Asian Handicap option for Saudi Arabia 1.5 which means I still believe Poland will not win with a two goal difference, and the 2-0 defeat that Saudi Arabia received also made my bet lose.
Even though Saudi Arabia's gameplay is still good in this match and it seems like they are just unlucky, because several times they get good opportunities but Saudi Arabia still fails to convert opportunities into goals.

I feel Saudi Arabia will win today again not because they have a higher odds, but because from how I saw them play in their first game against Argentina, if they play with that same intensity against Poland, I don't think they will be able to soak up the pressure. The major advantage that Poland has is that they have a lot of experience and know exactly that Saudia Arabia will not be an easy game to play.

Every one had the chance for now, because Germany had only strong before. But the team like England, Spain, Japan had the good chance of winning now. Japan game against Germany was the impressive one. Spain and Argentina had the strongest game as compared to many of the small countries. England and Brazil will have the strongest game and will take place in the final for sure.
