I think the Italia '90 comparisons are at an end.

Re: World Cup 2018

That was an enjoyable match. A loss for Poland or Colombia means they're out now.

Re: World Cup 2018

The English media need to calm down. You guys beat Tunisia and Panama, not Portugal and France.

To be fair, it was the lowest goals per game in WC history until the two routs.

Re: World Cup 2018

Fair Play tiebreaker alert in Group G. I love that there's a real chance of England and Belgium deliberately trying to pick up yellows late in a 1-1 match to avoid Brazil/Germany in the quarters. Reminds me of the old Genesis NHL games where you'd play for highest hit totals.

Re: World Cup 2018

So right now, teams who qualified:
Russia
Uruguay
France
Croatia
England
Belgium

Still Have a Chance:
2 of Spain, Portugal, Iran
1 of Denmark,Australia
1 of Nigeria, Iceland, Argentina
2 of Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia
2 of Mexico, Germany, Sweden, South Korea
2 of Japan, Senegal, Colombia

Eliminated:
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
Morocco
Peru
Costa Rica
Tunisia
Panama
Poland


Of those remaining, I'd say we see:

Spain, Portugal in Group B
Australia in Group C
Argentina in Group D
Brazil, Switzerland in Group E
Mexico, Germany in Group F
Japan, Colombia in Group H

Tiebreaker: It should be the most goals scored in a single match, instead of the number of yellow cards. Is it not risky to already get yellow cards in the opening round when they are first deleted after quarter final ?. What you come up with is pure speculation, although they can calculate who they will meet in the next round because their group plays the last initial matches. They should introduce new draw after the initial rounds with 2 groups 1 against 2, problem solved. The probability that Brazil will meet Germany in the round of 16 is big. And if they come to quarterfinals, the constellation will be, the countries you mention are in groups E, F and G.

Winner 1E / 2F - Winner 1G / 2H
Winner 1F / 2E - Winner 1H / 2G

Re: World Cup 2018

Also I wouldn't be surprise if Poland decide to show up against Japan and beat them.

Re: World Cup 2018

I'm not thrilled that the last part of the group stage is like this, but me at work right now.

Re: World Cup 2018
