    @MajorRage France definitely favourites. Getting this far is a par performance for England

    The winner of this tie has a comparatively easy SF

    I would have thought Argentina would have been a safer bet, as Messi seems to bottle it every WC?

    England France game is going to be tasty and one of the better teams will be going home early.

    Whoever wins the battle in the midfield will go along way to winning. The pace of Mbappé and Dembélé on the flanks will be a big problem for England.

    I'm on the England wagon now. I've always supported them in the roundball

    @Bovidae and develop a strategy to pressure Macguire because he'll fold like a cheap suit. One thing I dislike about England is that they tend to hold on to players based on reputation instead of making hard decisions. I remember the years with Steven Gerrard and co and the English midfield was shit but they still picked them.

    Even though they blew up the green peace boat I hope the French win.

    I'd rather see Brazil win, and I'm not even a fan. I watched one of their early games, their passing was so fun to watch. Do it for Pele

    So far round of 16 has had no upsets. Japan vs Croatia should be tight. Logical final will be Brazil vs France.

    @canefan i've always been a fan of Brazil. The game is second nature to them. They might have problems against a bigger side, like the French or English perhaps.

    I've got to give some love to Giroud becoming France's top goal scorer. He doesn't get much praise but his record at both club and international level is very impressive.

    I’m not a fan of how this Brazilian side play. Far too conservative/defensive. It may get them the choccies, but for a game that lasts as long as football - 100 minutes - I actually want to be entertained with lots of attack!

    @ACT-Crusader I agree they don't match the great Brazil's of past, but they are good at controlling possession and pressuring when they lose it. Can't stand Neymar but he is good and is additive to this team.

    Japan 1-0 Croatia
    Halftime

    Thoroughly deserved

    Croatia have been wasteful in the box

    Absolutely rubbish penalty taking from Japan gives Croatia the win

    Japan had plenty of opportunity to win this in regulation

    Not their time

    Japan committing harakiri with that run of penalty “attempts”. Dont think I’ve seen worse at this level.

    Wondered what Leicester Fainga'anuku was doing playing for Brazil. Turns out it’s his cousin Éder Gabriel Militão.
