It’s strange that players like Bellingham, Rashford, Rice, and Saka didn’t perform up to par. It’s unacceptable that England struggled so much to create chances against the Congo with such a top-tier squad. But the Congo really is an incredibly athletic team. They played great soccer and defended very well. Their goalkeeper was like Buffon. When England was unable to break through the Congolese defense, it came under heavy pressure. Kane’s individual determination and belief won the match for England. I didn’t see a similar drive in his teammates. Perhaps Kane’s effort was enough for England in this round, but it won’t be enough for the next rounds.

It's true, the England team looked very weak against Congo today. Kane had difficulties and his teammates appeared not to be inspired. They cannot afford to depend on a single player in case they intend on gaining the title. It is also great teams which require strong teamwork in order to win over the powerful opponents. This should be a great lesson to them.

Portugal - Croatia, I've put some money for Portugal because I think that the odds of them winning is attractive @1.75.



Draw odds is @3.55 so I think that it's quite high and I'm a usual risk taker but I don't think that Portugal will just allow this match to end with a draw.

The world cup matches are being more difficult to predict, normally one would expect Portugal to defeat Croatia not because of the odd but the quality of players in the Portugal team but nobody knows what's going to be the outcome cause this stage any team can surprise us at any time so even when one particular team is two goals ahead you can't say they have won until you hear the final whistle.
Draw odd in the game looks very attractive but going by the prediction of book markers Portugal seems like the better side to win the game and the odd of 1.75 should be the perfect pick for them to win.

In as much as we can see alot of good players on the Portugal team and how their have consistently performed up to expectations, we should also take a look as Croatia to see how they also have performed and what they're team are capable of doing most especially when they are in a tense competition level like this round of 16 of the world cup.

That's part of gambling and we're all here just waiting for the results and some of the basis that we consider before betting. It's true that it's harder to predict matches on this world cup but that's one of the exciting things about it. The main point is about betting what we can afford to lose and if Portugal losses, this isn't the end for me as I can bet again for the next matches that I am interested with.

Kane had no difficulties, he actually was the only player who had no difficulties. As the kind of striker he is, it's never easy to do great when your whole team has one of the worst days at the worst possible time. That wasn't Kane's fault. He did what he always does, work hard, try to help defending, pick up the ball at the midline, try to dribble, but that is not really his strength. I have rarely seen so many bad passes, stopping the ball often didn't work and they couldn't control it, let it slip over the sidelines, cross balls were very bad.

Harry Kane was lost until he decided to fully take it into his own hands. Those goals were pure willpower. Rashford should have never played more than 20 minutes. He should have immediately been sent off to take a shower and bring in some other player with higher motivation.

They got lucky, but against Mexico it will be the hardest test so far as they are playing at home.

[Webetcoins]

France shifted the gears on the second half, to see them be that much better in a half to just destroy a team, and not even need full game, shows that they are still way above everyone else. There are maybe two teams that could fight against France, maybe not even that much.

We are going to probably see France face Spain, and thats not even guaranteed, just "maybe", and if they do, that wil lbe hard, and on the finals they will maybe face Argentina, and thats not sure yet neither. So we should wait and see how it works.

[Varnquister]

The Democratic Republic of the Congo lost 2-1 to England and was eliminated from the tournament. To be honest, I can start by saying they played a good game. They scored early on and were close to securing the victory, but Harry Kane stepped up with 15 minutes remaining and scored the goals that won the match for his team, propelling them to the next round. The Democratic Republic of the Congo deserves credit for their effort. Scoring early against England and holding them scoreless until the final 15 minutes was certainly no easy feat.

[StarenseN]

I would say that it's clear that we are not going to see Argentina have trouble for a while, England or Brazil seems to be the hardest teams until the finals, think about it that's the roughest opponent they are going to face all the way to finals.

And Brazil or England will face ach other before they face Argentina as well if I am not wrong, so they will face just one of them. And Argentina looks better than both of them combined. This means, unless Argentina loses to a team that they should win, like some shocking Paraguay vs Germany style of losing, then on paper, they look like easily going to finals without much trouble.

[boltz]

Hopefully we will start to see over 1.5 goals in the first halves or even both teams to score because so far this World Cup delivers great games but the momentum shifts a lot ...so that's why we barely see goals , even if the previous record was shattered in 2 weeks after WC opened.

So for today , I will pick all games to be over 1.5 goals in the 1st half.

Both teams did played really good football in that fixture yesterday,  we cannot deny it that they both had the chance to qualify but then one must qualify against the other and so did England qualified after Kane did the magic for them. DR Congo may have ended their journey already but they did brilliantly,  enough to be commended.

I saw how shitty Croatia played against Ghana, and even though they won, I have doubts about this team. Although Portugal drew with Congo and Colombia, with Colombia drawing goalless, that was not an outstanding result also. Based on the teams' strength on paper, Portugal is the clear favorite, but that hasn't shown up in the game yet (the game against Uzbekistan can be ignored). Overall, I'm biased in favor of Portugal in this matchup, so I'll probably hold off on betting.

[Yabani]

Bosnia and Herzegovina deserved to be eliminated in this round.
They looked somewhat threatening early in the match, but couldn't sustain the momentum.
In my opinion, the squad is aging.
By the way, the referee clearly saw the incident involving Balogun, but he would have let play continue had VAR not intervened.
Balogun’s challenge was unintentional, but in football terms, it is a clear red card.
The referee reviewed the incident thoroughly before finally—and with some hesitation—issuing the red card.
No matter how much the USA is favored, the quarter-finals are the furthest they will go; they won't progress beyond that.

France managed to secure an easy victory over Sweden. After taking the lead through Kylian Mbappé toward the end of the first half, France increased its pressure in the second half and went on to defeat its opponent 3-0. France took 25 shots throughout the match and could have scored more goals, but Sweden’s goalkeeper wouldn’t let them. Mbappé finished the match with two goals, while Michael Olise contributed two assists. France truly looks like a contender to win the World Cup this season.

France national football team played very well in the last match And Mbappé was a person who did 2 goals in this match and he did first goal at 45 minutes and after that goal one another person did goal in this match and he did goal at 53 minutes. Barcola was a person who did second goal who gave confidence to his team and after that goal they were very close to win this match and Mbappé did last goal of the match and he did this goal at 74 minutes. That match was organized in the New York New Jersey Stadium, East Rutherford and Sweden men's national football team could not do any goal in this match and they could not win this match and match was totally one sided because one team gave great effort in this match and opponent team effort was very less in this match.

I decided to choose USA and Senegal to win this tournament title but Senegal disappointed me in big time. How can someone who ajs won 2-0 los all in 3 minutes and loss the match. This world cup has taught me something new again. Don't trust any team until they win the match or trophy. USA is still pushing forward well, so hope is not lost yet.

Thats a pretty risky move to choose such weak teams in the world cup to win. I wonder what the odds were for them to win the world cup. Senegal had everything in their hands and was clearly better in this match,but you cannot let your guard down even for five minutes in this big matches or you get punished hard. I think USA is playing really good in this tournament so far. They are better then expected,but honestly i dont think they can win the world cup next to France,Argentina,Portugal…

Senegal was no where near winning the world cup. Even if they had passed Belgium, they would have been easily eliminated by other better countries. But they proved there inability and I consistency in football for letting go of a 2:0 lead in just 6 minutes of normal time left to play and went on to the extra time to loss the match completely. I really feel for them, and I wonder how they would be able to take the defeat after so much struggling and giving in all they could. Belgium wasn't even better than them in the game, but football just happened. Is you as me, I don't even know who to predict will win. Let's get to the quarter finals first, and we will see how remains. For now, there are still lots of surprises

I just decided to change Teams to support. I know that Argentina and France are there to support and probably one of the. Is going to win but I decided to encourage those two teams I have chosen to do well but unfortunately Senegal is out of the line. My hope now is for USA to scale through the round of 16 and once that happens, they will face France or Argentina in the next stage. Football is a game of prediction and if favor you, you take it and if it is not go to the way of prediction, you still accept it.

They cannot afford to depend on a single player in case they intend on gaining the title. It is also great teams which require strong teamwork in order to win over the powerful opponents. This should be a great lesson to them.

Since from the group stage I noticed that England are not that performing very well and if they face a tough team they will surly be eliminate in the competition, Congo are not a strong team because all the players that England have are more better then them but they can just play a defensive games in any matches they are playing and that is what make the country qualify for the round 32 in the World Cup. England didn’t call many of there players to the competition and that is the reason why I think England are always struggle in the World Cup before they win matches.

Congo as do there best but I noticed in the African team they are all doing well and immediately they score goal and be leading they won’t like to attack anymore and that is what is killing many of them and struggling to move to qualify to next round. Senegal really do well against Belgium but later they make a big errors, and make the opponent do well and get the opportunity to do back in the match and make Belgium qualify for the round 16 in the competition.

United States vs Belgium. A knockout, round of 16 matches to be played next Tuesday.
United States International football team was quite good in this version of the World Cup. The Belgian team was weaker than what used to be, yet have players that could make the difference especially at the end of the match like Lukaku and Tielemans.
USA has to score first and keep pushing and monitoring these two players to avoid receiving games.

The USA knocked out Bosnia in the RO32 by 2-0. In the first half the USA kept 62% of the possession, 2 big chances created and 5 shots. Balongun scored the first goal of the match in the 45th minute. In the second half Bosnia fought back and kept 66% of the possession,0.21 xG and 9 shots. But didn't get what they wanted. No big chance created. For USA Tillman scored the 2nd goal in the 82nd minute and he was named as player of the match. USA kept 34% of the possession in the second half,0.23 xG and just 3 shots.They will now face Belgium in the RO16.
