World Cup 2018 Round of 16 and Finals
« on: June 28, 2018, 02:30:24 PM »
I wanted to start up a new thread for the finals in the World Cup 2018... So here it is!

Uruguay v Portugal - should be fun, maybe Uruguay surprises and advances to the quarterfinal.

France v Argentina - If Charger doesn't get to the betting shop in time, Argentina will have a real chance here. :problem:

Brazil v Mexico - Hard to say, but I think Mexico wins this one.

Belgium v Japan (here I am, predicting the outcome of a current game) - Belgium. Duh!

Spain v Russia - Spain will take Russia out of the running.

Croatia v Denmark - Croatia. I like what they've been doing so far.

Sweden v Switzerland - Sweden takes this one. They stumbled against Germany, but found their way against Mexico.

Colombia v England - England brings their a-game and wins.

***

And now, like a total idiot, I shall predict the winner...

Uruguay beats Argentina
Belgium beats Brazil or Mexico, doesn't matter. And if England pulls it out and is the #1 seed for Group G, it will win.
Croatia beats Spain
England (or Belgium) beats Sweden (or Switzerland)

That gets us to England or Belgium beating either Uruguay or Croatia. Croatia gets 3rd place and then Belgium beats England to get 1st.

So I'm with Jack the Stripper: Belgium wins it all.

CAUTION: If Charger bets to support any of these teams I've picked to win, then they go all to hell. If Charger places the right bets, it could be Russia v Japan in the final...

 :haha4:

Oh boy...I really could mess these games up completely now couldn't I?

 :ninja: :ninja: :lol:


As there is no game tonight I also won't contribute any predictions today either...don't want to jinx anything...I mean I might actually get something right by mistake then!

Well we have to see...Although I do want Belgium to advance so I might actually bet against them just because of that.

Two very even and goalless matches ahead today..

France vs Argentina....since Argentina was before the games my pick to win the Cup I have to with them...but it is quite possible that they'll go home today.

Uruguay vs Portugal...knowing the way both teams play this is gonna be super even...I'll say after 90 minutes it will be 0-0...which one will win after Over time and or Penalty Kicks is anyone's guess but you know me I'm always rooting for Christiano Ronal...ehhh I mean Portugal!

Uruguay have been in cracking form and expect them to beat Portugual however you can't ignore the Ronaldo factor.

France v Argentina is an interesting one. Argentina have been a disappointment and are very lucky to have got through to the knockout stage. Maybe they've got some confidence from their win over Nigeria but I'm gonna go with the more reliable France in this one.

Pretty even so far as expected...although I have to say I thought it would have been 0-0 after the first half instead of 1-1

France was playing really strongly but then kind of lost their way a little bit...Argentina's playing improved a lot after DiMaria's goal.

What an incredible match!! Best one yet!

France was nothing like ever before... in fact haven't seen France like this since the Zidane days...

Argentina put up a good fight but too many mistakes and fouls...Safe to say the better team won.

So part 2 of todays Europe vs South America...and it was a bit of a rematch for South America as they (sadly) got the better of Portugal who played a fantastic second half but Uruguay's defense was just too strong.

Two great matches and two great teams advanced and two great teams are out. But them the apples at this stage of the tournament.

Sadly I was out at a BBQ and missed both games (although the scores were announced)! It looks like I missed a couple of great matches and I'm sure the hi-lights programme later won't do them justice.

Personally, I'm glad France and Uruguay went through... us Brits have history with Argentina and as mentioned on the Footsy thread I'm no fan of Mr Ronaldo.

More great matches to come today I believe.

Spain vs Russia...Uruguay already showed that Russia was hardly invinsible and that they had huge problems in their defence so Spain should nail them to the wall.

Croatia vs Denmark...this is gonna be more even both teams play strong defence and great forward game so anything can happen, but I am rooting for Croatia all the way here!

Yeah despite home advantage, I just can't see Russia progressing further, they've done well to get this far. I could see this being a strole for Spain, like 3-0 or 4-1!

Croatia have been good so far, Denmark have been solid without making any sort of noise. It has to be Croatia but it could be tight.
