Round of 16
Paraguay - France
I think for Paraguay its easier to play, can they win, I dont think so, France will play same way as aganst Sweden and I think only waht can stop France is Spain, Argentina and maybe Portugal

Canada - Morroco
Both jumped higher, its be game, I think Canada are on the ace after home win, now its in lone start state, still a bit home, so I think Canada can use this momentum

Portugal - Spain
Should be semi final or final, might be hard for Ronaldo, I think its equal, I dont want predict this one, one goal from distance in 70min

USA - Belgium
USA are on ace, Belgium dont play as team, I think its be USA who use home momentum

Brazil - Norway
Earling can save by score wild goals, Brazil plays better so I hope Norway, but ....

Mexico - England
Mexico, its high altitude and Thomas Tuchel said its 2 times higher as highest point in UK and players needs months to aclimate , and Mexico has good unbeaten record there, so I say its Mexico , might be best game in state

Argentina - Egypt
Vant trust odds anymore still Argentina will win, but not in easy way. But they did ledarna lesson.

Colombia - Suisse
I think Colombia will win.

Odds are stacked against Paraguay, one can’t help but wonder: what if they pull off the unthinkable and eliminate France?

Any Paraguay football fan here?

Canada wasn’t even a contender to be in round of 32. Luckily, they made it through before the Morocco humiliated them in Texas. Perhaps one of the weakest contenders to see in round of 16.

France 1 - 0 Paraguay

Only few posts before I was trying to anticipate a major setback by Paraguay, turns out Mbappe disciplined them on how to play a football in the round of 16. The desperate measures Paraguay inculcated did not stop Mbappe nor Dembele in making moves and attacking Orlando Gill like a punching bag.

Next to look forward is CR7 is facing a big gun. I’m expecting Portugal taking an exit from here

Two games that wasn’t easy to go through,

Norway 2 - 1 Brazil

Pretty well combed by Norway in terms of possession. Brazil did outplayed them tactically, but totally preposterous in conversions. Whereas in 2nd half table turned, Norway attacked more ferociously and Becker had a tougher task to face while Vinicius Jr grinding hard to emulate Mbappe-style attacking. In the end, you just don’t let Norwegian beast stranded on the pitch like that and he cost you two terrific goals.

England 3 - 2 Mexico

Host nation eliminating in a most immersing and volatile match of football tactics I have seen. The Three Lion gave it all and one of the lions that came shining and fully enraptured in showcasing the beautiful skills upfront and back is Jude Bellingham. I’ve seen him saving countless matches for Borussia Dortumund and Real Madrid, but his exceptional display of game awareness was absolutely top-notch. When Azteca crowd was going apeshit from past 24 hrs on and off the pitch, it was soothing to cornered Mexican players with 10 men down.

I may incline to see them cruising through semi finals beating Norway.

Norway 2 - 1 Brazil
Uneritten rule in one game play off ,in hockey if you kill 5 min penalty , you win the game. Dame might be here, Brazil missed penalthy, it was hard to accept. Norway get up and hold first. Find play in second. Neymar goal in extra time was to late to get draw.

England 3 - 2 Mexico
Might be best English game in other continents ever , think Messi in final scotes whit hand and VAR fucks up.

Soain 1 - 0 Portugal
90+1 Minute Spain send home Ronaldo and his dreams. Only tittle he get is EC after injury he was replaces. Portugal had Eusebio, later Fernando Gomes , then best 2004 team Vitor Baia, Jorge Costa, Vidigal, Fernando Couto, Lui Jorge, Rui Costa, Nuno Gomes, Luis Figo. Those days all work as team, now all works for Ronaldo ego, Argentina did not ein because Messi had same, but last WC he work for team, whit out CR Portugal should search eays to attack and might work.
Portugal has good team never has been favorits, some omen aganst Spain, maybe other team yes, penalty but not lose such way.

Spain 1 - 0 Portugal

Such a power-packed unit displays a great brand of football, yet subdued to a walking 41 yr old who always wanted to chase by the ball. CR7 led the momentum of the team drained and it was parading in last match missing those tap-ins, only to see whining after young guns and newbies Spain sealed the match in 91st minute.

Argentina 3-2 Egypt
Damn maybe best comne back game in football history. In each WV Arg often struggles one play off game. I like when S American teams in Copa Libertadores or Copa America as favoriters let in early goal and then race specially in aggregate when Baras is jumping as nutters
Messi could score this penalty and game be easier ,but what a come back, in late. 65-70 yes chance but so late 2 close goals plus 90+ goal, what a epic. I like it it

Suisse (4) 0-0 (3) Colombia
Hard to comment , second SA is out

Quarterfinals
France - Morocco
Game as France play like I said maybe Argentina or Spain can stop them, even Morocco has nothing to loose, still.

Spain - Belgium
Spain will organise defense , might be late 70 goal same as against Portugal, Belgium might control middle field and late long distance goal, so 50/50

Norway - England
Erling Haaland plays in England, players know him, how to stop him. Still can bloop some goal in. Can Norway open for other players, IMO they wrote history so we will see

Argentina - Suisse
Argentina has learm his own mistake, hmmm but Suisse has written own history. So

1st QF approaching with Morocco playing as underdogs while France keep steamrolling the ruthless momentum upfront.

I’m expecting closer finish and it will make my day if Morocco plays a spoiler effect here.

I thought I posted about ‘em, but oh well.

One of the legendary comebacks ever. Egypt gone syncope post 80th minute and Messi messiahs purged them with an emphatic 3-2 win over a team whose coach gone ballistic.

Argentina’s route to semifinal looks easy peasy.

So is France who on a verge to eliminate Morocco.

Good game that gripped more in 2nd half when Belgium started involving more in attacks than going full pro on defense. Yamal moves was swift and incisive better than anyone in Spain and his attacking from corners was infuriating.

Game changer came along with substituting Courtois to a bungler keeper who fucked up keeping his gloves grappled.

Good semi finale with France. I’ll put my chips on Spain for the finals.

I saw him playing against Czechia and he came across a very enthusiastic midfielder. Feel gutted seeing he left behind his fiancé and a 5 yr old daughter. It is rumored that he committed suicide.

Here in IST watched both of the QF matches whole night and now it’s 9 am early morning Sunday, I can go to bed happily witnessing how England and Argentina deserves to face each other in semifinals.

England 2 - 1 Norway

All eyes were on Haaland and turns out he is the most blocked player from Norway. Bellingham epitomizes his class yet again giving England one of their most classic win of the tournament.

Argentina 3 - 1 Switzerland

In a pure defensive mechanism, Messi messiahs highlighting an axiom “Unidos por una ilusión” (Together for a dream”) to a powerpacked Argentines that a cup is just 2 steps away.
