i don't remember any previous world cups being so close going into the 3rd round. It makes a big difference to the entertainment value

I wonder if the biggest shock of the World Cup will be an entertaining match?

Intriguing if correct ..

The Belgian squad sounds like it is totally divided. Eden Hazard apparently had a massive row with Vertonghan and Lukaku had to separate them. Hazard and Trossard also hate each other and Courtois and De Bruyne have never liked each other

Tbf they were, I'll agree with you on that.

By and large though I feel like the matches have been very cagey.

it's what happens when great players get past their prime particularly when they have underachieved throughout their entire international careers. Spain, Italy, germany, france and the netherlands have all suffered similar fate

Spain ?
They won the World Cup and a couple of Euros I think , in fairly recent times

Spain’s lasting problem is they haven’t had a goal scorer since David Villa retired.

KDB is a nasty piece of work ..

Remember this incident in a Belgium training session a couple of years ago ?

Breaking News
ESPN

Technology in the match ball used at the World Cup proved conclusively that Cristiano Ronaldo did not make any contact for Portugal's opener

I’m backing Ecuador so Enner Valencia can be top scorer ..

I don’t want Mbappe or Cronaldo to win it at all .. plus Koulibaly of Senegal is just a thug !!

Gakpo for top goalscorer!!!! up his price in the transfer market a bit more pls


PSV should not let him leave anywhere lower than 85 or 90 million, if Ajax got 100 for Antony

Kane will start so I’d pick the two in the best form with most confidence .. so that’s Rashford plus one from Saka / Grealish / Foden / Sterling .

Imagine Maddison in the hole behind a front two of Kane and Rashford !
