I think this will be the dullest game of the tournament. They cancelled each other out spectacularly.

Would have preferred the footballing side to progress but there you go. Spain lack a genuine goal scorer.
So much possession, not enough goal threat.

They have one in Costa but he just doesn’t fit the way Spain play and Visa Versa.
So, England in theory are prob favourites to progrbe as to the final from that side of th draw now...
Spain have themselves to blame. Where was their plan b when the side to side possession football wasn't working. They have the players to be more direct but kept on doing the same thing over and over. Costa is a top player but they didn't give him anything. They could have any striker and it would have been the same.
They've got a top striker. They just barely played the ball through to him and instead went all around the houses keeping hold of the ball. Pretty passing and play, zero forward intent and bravery with the ball.
Strange world cup,Germany out, Argentina out and Spain out to date. Would not count out underdogs to win the world cup.
Currently sat in a beer garden contemplating food too lol
I don't believe that area of the USA has a Fifa recognised team. And if the US national team can't do it, then I don't think a small part would have qualified either.
COLOMBIA on the other hand
Ramos linking a players arm, Again, apparently cost Spain a last min pen.
I'm just watching games and avoiding all other WC media, its appalling
Seriously.
Best team of tournament thus far is Croatia... they should now sail to semi final... should.
Russia showed their intent today. 5 at back and grind through.
England need to believe... not just say it but really do it now. The final is there if they want it bad enough.
I mean sterling and long are in particular.
I go back again to stones, walker, Maguire.... absolute mince.
This draw is so favourable.

Absolute mince.
France v Brazil is going to be a huge game..... but I fancy Uruguay to steal a spot. Once it goes to pens it's all bets off and I fancy Uruguay over Brazil and France on showings so far in a knockout game.
mmmmmm.... Not for me on that one. Russian Defender basically rugby tackles Ramos, doesn't even bother looking at the ball and it bounces off him. If he stands still then he probably heads it away.
That's not to say Ramos isn't a dirty ****er. Spain deserve to go in such a meek way anyway, barely any intent to get in behind (in any game)
