hi Stoneage, we'll have Sweden - Switzerland !!!
your qualification is a surprise, ours was rather expected

I had predicted Sweden and Germany to the next round. Mexico was the big surprise, imo. Sweden beat Holland and Italy on their way to Russia.
Congrats to Switzerland as well, although it was foolish keeping their best defenders on the pitch when Brazil had a 2-0 lead.
Now Lichtsteiner and Schär are out for the Sweden-match...

we have other good defenders like Michael Lang (he is the only member of the swiss team who still plays in Switzerland, in Basel), Johan Djourou or Nico Elvedi. Sweden will be a tough game, but that goes for both teams. I guess it will be a hard fight, with hopefully the better end for us

England - Belgium. Many fear 0-0. The desirable position would be number two in that group apparently. So no team wants to win. Kane is on the bench for instance. How will the audience react to another 0-0?

You're right, Broomwagon. Mexico is a Central American country. Let's change South America to Latin America then.
Doxa: It's just a statistical observation. Not a political statement. Personally, I would have liked an African country is the final stages. They had two teams in 2014 and one in 2010 making that.
I also miss a North American team in the WC. I always liked the way Team USA plays. Very offensive football, entertaining to watch. And why not Finland? Look at Iceland. If Iceland can, Finland can...

But if Russia and England meet in quarter final, then, the 7th of July could be very hot.

Surprise, really? Why should they wreck their own championship?

Their sole concern is to look for fight and count the wounded.
I hope you're right !Quote

Okey. But in Russia Putin is President. I don't think they dare. Putin isn't like any other European leader...
