Been some really impressive performances in the last 16. Set up nicely for a cracking end to tournament.
Gotta say ... for all the negativity pre-tournament, this has been one of the most exciting world cups in living memory ...
Definitely one of best in my lifetime. The only thing that's let it down is the amount of empty seats, even in the ko rounds ffs.
Think the shocks are done now personally. Can only see an Argie Brazil semi and the winner of France England beating Portugal in the other. But as I said earlier I've been all over the place with my predictions so **** knows.
... think that just about sums up CR7 ... nice finish (but quite obviously offside), but seconds earlier he had an opportunity to race away ... but he just hasn't got the legs now ... quite sad really ...
I think Portugal were very good but Carvalho will get destroyed in midfield by decent opposition. He's nowhere near the player he was.
I want to see Brazil play Portugal after that. I was very disappointed in Brazil's attitude last night, Portugal far more professional.
Mate the only way that's happening is if both reach the final. Fck that, England will destroy Brazil. Gareth will have Rice and Hendo playing the samba way by then. They'll be like Zico and Jairzinho. Believe.
I'd rather play Brazil than Portugal if England are to win the world cup.....but to be truly the best, you have to beat the best so England v Portugal it would have to be. If Southgates boys can't beat France it saves us a hammering in the Final.
Yeh defo this. We'll beat France. The two games after will be a coin toss imo. We're more than capable of beating them though.
