Do folks in the Netherlands want Belgium to win because? Is the culture shared? I don't know about this. It seems like it is in part of the nation. Since, I watched the 1986 World Cup near on Mexican TV mostly, they carried the Red Devils games when they had Cuelemans and the Pfaff brothers I believe. I really liked them though I think the '86 World Cup and '90 World Cup had a l

I like most of these finalists for the most part. It's amazing how a team can look so good in one match, such as Sweden vs. Switzerland or Mexico and then, have a hard time like yesterday. It happens quite a bit. Colombia were very good for some games but were largely shut down vs. England. I feel for Uruguay, they really played good and only lacked Cavani in that last game vs. France.

To me, it looks like Stoneage wouldn't pick against the Danes, dare I say, fellow Scandinavians..... and got a load of points there. I don't think anyone will knock Stoneage off, unless it's someone with over 50 points already.....but it's still a long tounament.

Well done Uruguay, very good games. A hard fought win, I had to miss some of it, from what I saw, it seemed Suarez was pretty quiet but I missed about a half.

Argentina really need to get attacking after their added extra time goal. I really have to wonder, a bit of a scuffle in that extra time and then, the game ended fairly quickly when they got it back going. Stellar play by Mbappé and others too, definitely. Congrats to France!

Croatia got ripped off in 2014, that's why I'm glad to see VAR, try to take out at least some problems in the system. I respect those who don't like VAR at all, I've talked to some of those too. Croatia had some sort of problem with the 2016 Euro as well, with Portugal but I forget the nature of that. Maybe it was just tempers flaring as they do. Even with improvements to o

QuoteStoneage 10 European, 5 South American and 1 Asian team (Japan) through to the round of 16. None from Africa. Africa has a lot of turmoil; Nigeria had some big problems there this past weekend, they have a huge population too. For the record, Mexico would NOT be a South American team, Are they Central? Or North America? I'm not sure but they still are in it. They are in CONCACAF,

Big congrats to MonoNom, picked 3 less matches than some of us, sits in 2nd. Very good predicting, Congrats to leader Quique Stone also. I would have expected more goals scored in these two early games.

Gut! Low is staying. It's absolute rubbish in a lot of these cases that a manager should leave just because of one tournament performance. Sometimes, it's better to stick it out.
Forum: Tell Me

England may well face Japan who would be a stiff test for most teams in the tournament. You really can't write anyone off... Or in the round 16, potentially, England could play Colombia, another tough draw, Senegal could advance as well. In the last Euro, England crashed out to Iceland so I think it's clear, don't take anyone lightly.

That Saturday game, Sweden vs. Germany was really a heartbreaker, even I felt that one. A friend showed me this link, how was Sweden not given this penalty versus Germany. So, it's all fun to watch, not to get too serious about.
Forum: Tell Me

Germany almost always in the finals or semi-finals of the Euro or World Cup, current champions....I'm not for Germany by any means, but I'd take that type of record nonetheless. They need a scorer like Miroslav Klose, to me, that shows how important he was to the team.

Colombia, Japan and Senegal, one of those 3 won't advance. I have my suspicions but best of luck to them all.

Still looking good for a Netherlands vs Italy final, I think USA will go far into the knockout rounds.

Congrats congrats congrats, I pulled into the lead at the Euro, still got 2nd place, I never heard one thing about it. I only lost because looking at some people's predictions, there's just some teams you can't pick. I noticed at least, one from Uruguay did not pick Brazil or Argentina. I think Iceland received some favoritism from up north. There are teams, I can't pick.

I'm not even sure England will win vs. Tunisia. I do think Belgium appears to be real solid and I'd say, they are safe for now. They will play Panama. Sweden/South Korea, who knows? I lean towards Sweden.

They said Neymar was fouled a lot, okay, I don't approve of that necessarily but let's not forget, Brazil was gifted playing at home last time until they came up against Germany. I have heard some say, oh this VAR and replay is taking too much time but after the last 2 World Cups, 2010 maybe even being worse, I welcome it. The replay won't be perfect either but it's somethi
