FIFA WORLD CUP 2018?

[glider101]

Going to be having some world cup withdrawls today- really sucks to we have to wait a few days for more football.
Looking at some upsets for this weekend

[Samer00]

Death threats to Colombian players Following World Cup farewell to Russia 2018, Carlos Baka and Mateus Uribe are aiming for two penalties and angry fans sent messages to the players: "Kill yourselves and never return to Colombia."
This comes a day after the 24th anniversary of the death of Andres Escobar, who was shot dead after his goal at the World Cup in 1994.
It is worth mentioning that the interview that collected Incolta Colombia ended the 1-1 draw at its original and additional time, forcing the passage of penalty shootout that went in favor of the three lions (3-4) after the Colombian Matthaus Uribe and Carlos Paka failed.

Maradona at it again saying England didn't deserve to get past Columbia with the dives they took even when Argentina is out of the cup.
He still holds resentment towards any England squad for that match many decades ago.

Damn this has been the most thrilling world cup we get to see another penalty shootout. Columbia played extremely good even in penalty shootout but unfortunately they missed their last shot and England didn't which got them eliminated.

I couldn't believe Sweden defeated Switzerland, i didn't really match the whole match but that was surely an upset

What he said doesnt matter at all because a win is a win. No matter what kind of method you are using for example Neymar's diving and acting up then delay the match for few minutes. There are tons of method to win and an opinion of one person either he is an ordinary man or a football legend mean nothing at all. He is just butthurt that Argentina lose the game

You better grab the match before penalty kick or cry your bad luck after it! Too bad for Colombia, Spain and Danemark.
England seems lucky in this world cup and the match vs Sweden shouldn't be hard unless they will make stupid mistakes!

They always make stupid mistakes if you look back at all those previous world cup then you will realize how England lose few easy game. Im always supporting them ever since I am into football but to be honest their last game against Colombia wasnt that good. I felt that they probably lose when Henderson failed to score penalty

true Maradona opinions dosen't matter he have been a failure in everything after retiring as a player true he was a great player but when it comes to management or to be football analyst he that's not his speciality he should just lay low and keep his head down and try not to have another heart attack or overdose. Also he is taking about a robbery for columbia and himself have stole from England back in 86 World Cup
The penalty is correct because the Colombian defender who held Kane before the execution knew he was going to drop him and Kane was very smart and got it. also the ref didn't give a red card for Columbia defender when he headed Henderson .The Colombians played with agression in each game if the ref have favorite england we would seen more cards thrown

One of the worst matches in the round of 16 (followed by England vs Colombia, that one was awful), so you didn't miss that much, Sweden was lucky and defended pretty well, nothing more.

I felt that they probably lose when Henderson failed to score penalty

I thought they were going to lose the match in the penalty shootout, after all, they had the worst penalty shootout record in the history of the WC...until yesterday.

[Pab]

Columbia gad real bad luck because of Jamie injury.Jamie for Columbia is like Naymar for Brasil.I am surprised by quality of Brasil defense they are not losing golas Brasil look very solid team  and they still can improve.I think France-Uruguay game will be fascinating
I hope will be no problem with Cavani injury

sweden just got lucky. it's ironic that their achievement is historic and without Zlatan

[cryptothief]

is it possible that one of these matches end up with over 2.5 goals in full time and why?

RUS - CRO
SWE - ENG

and or can you suggest bet related one of these pairs, which has at least 2.5 coefficient

Sweden v England looks like it will be a low scoring game, Russia v Croatia could be worth a punt. Personally I'd be looking at the other side of the draw, both those matches should be goal fests, especially the Brazil v Belgium game. These are my guesses.

France 2 Uruguay 3
Brazil 2 Belgium 2 (Belgium to go through on penalties)
Russia 1 Croatia 2
Sweden 1 England 1 (England to win in extra time)

Looking forward to a weekend of decent football.

true Maradona opinions dosen't matter

Yeah the opinion of a cheat

The quality of football is declining in my opinion. I did not find a game that was so entertaining during the World Cup held. Many technical errors from world class players and one more, refereeing decisions that can be changed after seeing the video shows on the edge of the field, in my opinion, isn't good enough.

Croatia can get to finals too, they have easier way to finials then Belgians and Brazilians, winner from that game will have to play against winner from France and Uruguay and both are tough opponents. Croatia against Russia and winner from that game plays against winner from Sweden and England. Can Russia surprise once again in this championship and make a win against Croatia? I believe everything is possible in football, and final game can be Uruguay vs England or Brazil vs Croatia, easier way to finials is for England, Brazil France Belgia and Uruguay are much better teams then Russia Croatia England and Sweden.
Maybe we will see more draw games and penalties in the end, that's football you never know what will happen until last minutes.

Croatia realistically have a great opportunity to advance at least to semi-final, they have a lot of quality players who are capable of winning against Russia. But fact that Russia is host and that has a historic opportunity to play semi-final of World Cup will make this game very interesting, I bet they will play as if their lives depend on it.

I would like to see Croatia-England and France-Brazil in semi-final, however since this World Cup is full of surprises it is possible that there will be some unexpected results in next stage.

Discounting Russia, Sweden and Belgium is a risky tale all three are capable of causing major upsets on their given day and all three will want to qualify badly, while the most pressure suddenly seems on England as they're told not to return if they loose lol. Even I would love Brazil and France and winner faces England and England wins it lol it'll be epic.

I think Croatia by far have the easiest route into the final. I don't think Russia will be a pushover especially with the home crowd advantage but they shouldn't be any trouble for Croatia. They will then face England or Sweden in the next round who are both very so-so teams who have already probably got further than they deserve. The real threats are from the other side of the tables where they will be facing either Brazil, France, Uruguay or Belgium in the final. If Croatia make it that far they'll certainly give any of those teams a good game but I couldn't say that they will comfortably beat any of them. I'd like to see a Belgium vs Croatia match in the final. Two deserving underdogs.

^  Belgium could surprise everybody tho.  They have a really good squad that's mostly underrated.  And their match vs Japan showed how mentally strong they are imo.  I just don't think Brazil can push them around...

I really hope Belgium wins against Brazil, but I will have to miss this match. My girlfriend booked a table at a restaurant while we're playing :-/
Not going to forgive her this any time soon

This video assistance isn't a bad idea and it's essential to make the game fair, to avoid vampire bites and penalties when children falling down.
However, i dislike the fact that the referee has to move to verify himself every fault, this is killing the game, normally the dedicated referee should see the video and take the decision everytime it is required (or not).
