Belgium over Brazil
France over Uruguay
Russia over Croatia
England over Sweden
Then,
France over Belgium
England over Russia
Then,
France vs. England...I can't choose, probably France.
are you ready to bet your patrimony on that prognostic ?
it would be some kind of miracle to me...
Well, speaking as a Belgian who picked France as a personal favourite for the ultimate victory before the tournament started (and is sticking with that), and also saw Brasil play some réally solid football, genuine champions’ style, growing into ‘it’ as the tournament progressed, I must say that if you really would consider it “a miracle” if Belgium would beat Brasil, you haven’t been paying attention for a while... or you’re just very easily shocked.
I just think that Brazil is getting stronger and stronger while Belgium (3rd nation at fifa ranking) was very close to lose their game against Japan.
Belgians have shown some weakness in defense and attack too.
I'm very sorry but I'm afraid they will have to pack their things tomorrow morning and clean up the cloakrooms before leaving
I’m sure you know your game -
As do I.
So just in case: agreement in disagreement, OK. I’m on holiday, currently in NYC, so I’m not looking for a football argument...
But:
(A) for the record, I think Brasil will win today.
(B ) weakness in defence? One straight error - Vertongen, first Japan goal - that’s it. The rest was mega-solid defending.
(C) weakness in attack? 11 goals in 4 matches & 3 different attacking line-ups... Lukaku serious contender for tournament goal scorer (especially since England & Harry Kane will be “coming home” very very soon...) - you gotta be kidding, right?!
Anyway - enjoy todays matches! (And that goes out to all of you)

Well this is a bummer... no futbol for me tomorrow. The only reason I can figure that FOX would choose to NOT show these matches tomorrow over-the-air in the US, on their main channel, is to hook people into having cable... and that ship has sailed. It is a disservice to people trying to be fans of World Cup to not show the matches tomorrow over the air.

Okey, 6 teams still left in the tournament. Out of which 4 have never won the WC. Tomorrow there will only be 4 teams left. Good luck to everyone. I hope the games will be decided
within 120 minutes and on open field goals. Not penalties. May the best teams win. And I apologize if I went on to hard about Harry Kane. After all I'm Swedish and, of course, roots for my own team.

England is playing football. They invented the game.

I think England has got something going now. Tomorrow at 4pm we will see.

It's a ridiculously uneven draw with a strong side and a weak side. France v Belgium is the Final before the final and I expect whoever wins that game will win the tournament. England are limited really and have benefited from a kind draw and the defeat they secretly wanted against Belgium. They will struggle against a decent side, imho.

whew...ok...still batting 1000.
Now, I'd like to collect from jpasc95 on my 'patrimony'.
or would you prefer to go double or nothing with my picks for tomorrow?
well done Treaclefingers !
well, I'm sure you're a nice guy but you're too dangerous to me.
I'd rather offer you a drink than bet the very few of what is left of my patrimony.
