They have all the chance in the world. And do you really count Japan as a strong team?

not Japan, red devils can easily win that one, but after that they have only tough opponents, so they need to play at 100% every match in a row then

At knockouts everyone needs to play at 100% or they are going home, don't you agree?

i agree, but i would rather play in the lesser of the 2 halfs


because after Japan, Belgium can face Brazil/Mexico, and then France/Argentina, and there's also Uruguay/Portugal


so Belgium needs to stay focused every match, no slip ups which can happen cause of the nerves playing against such tough opponents



England well they have Colombia as a threat, and then my guess would be Switzerland cause i find the Swiss a bit better than sweden, ranking wise as well, and Spain/Russia, Croatia/Denmark


so a slight bit better half for england to be in, i hope they can bring their best level now, with the best players in the starting 11 now



QF should be possible for england at least, i believe in them

The other side is a little easier, but only a little. Colombia is a good team and I think England has always had trouble with South American style of play. Sweden blanked both Korea and Mexico, who both blanked Germany so they cannot be taken lightly. Nor is Switzerland, who was great getting a tie against the tournament favorites Brazil and overall played a solid group stage to advance.

Spain and Croatia of course now both have teams potentially of going all the way.

the Swiss are #6 of the world so i had expected them to get this far


Cald, i get what you are trying to say, don't be overconfident, don't cheer too soon

and i do not really care about who wins this world cup, whoever wins it is deserved, they all got this far now
