Wow, who’da thunk.

Bloody hell.

Livakovic has been their player of the tournament

 

[Jack2jack]

Blimey.

That would be the assumption, but we've seen many times in this World Cup that things don't always go to plan.

I think England have a good chance of beating France, or just as good a chance as France have of winning. I can see that one heading to penalties.

Netherlands have looked decent, so I wouldn't say Argentina are a shoe-in for that one either (albeit they are favourites). I think Brazil will certainly beat Croatia. Brazil v Argentina in the semis? Who knows who would come out on top - probably Brazil, but it's a bit of a coin-toss.

Morocco v Portugal - you'd have to say Portugal, but we saw the hassle that the Moroccans gave Spain. Even if England did beat France, Portugal would be no pushover in the semis.

Honestly, I have no idea how the rest of the tournament will play out - which is brilliant.

There you go. :lol: :shock:

Got to say Brazil have under achieved again by their standards. Am I safe to say that? Having a mare tonight

No rehearsed dances today then Brazil?

Ya bunch of cry babies.

Almost as good as Leon Britton.

Brazil's standards aren't that great. They've been knocked out in the quarter finals in 4 of the 5 last World Cups. In the other one they got to the semis and lost 1-7 to Germany.

The Croats had worked out that Becker moves early to one side or other , first two penalties straight down the middle , amazing for a country with only 600,000 more people than Wales

France for me, or any team that manages to beat them...
