What are we going for tomorrow?

Can't see any shocks there myself.

If Russia can beat Spain anything can happen.

Mexico are most likely to cause an upset. They'd need to defend well and counter like they did against Germany but even then they will need luck. Brazil are just starting to go up a gear.

Japan will get battered.

Goofle 07-01-2018 05:27 PM

Missed both games. Happy Spain went out.

I'd really like to see Mexico get through.
Gonna be stupid and say another 1-1, extra time then penalties and Brazil win 5-4, Neymar with the winner. Hope I'm wrong.

Didn't look very happy to me...

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-01-2018 07:01 PM

not bothered who win out of Mexico or Brazil, like both teams so it’s fine. mexico would be nice as it would be an easier match up for Belgium who will smash Japan 3-0.

Goofle 07-01-2018 07:03 PM

Total side-note but been watching a few R9 videos recently and decided he is the best footballer who ever lived. Disagree?



I see we agree now.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 07-01-2018 07:21 PM

mentioned lately that i never really got the chance to see him in his prime years but yeah from what i’ve seen in highlights and even just in game footage i would totally agree

Glad to see Brazilian Ronaldo so high. I was watching his old videos at PSV, Barca and Inter before the World Cup started & I think had he not had those injuries, he would have been the best ever.

Things still worked out OK for him I guess though.

Four years ago.

Trollheart 07-02-2018 09:53 AM

A good, pretty easy win for Brazil. Mexico were never really even in it. Deserved it more; superb second goal to seal it.

rubber soul 07-02-2018 09:54 AM

Where is everybody? Am I the only one to watch Brazil/Mexico by myself. Gee, is anyone going to be here to witness my misery as Belgium probably beats Japan? :D

Oh, wait. Troll is here :D

Croatia and Belgium have impressed, wouldn't be surprised if they do better than my bracket says.

Occult - 3
Qwerty - 4
Rubbers - 4
Goofle- 3
Eric- 4

What's Vegas got on Japan, Hawk?

Goofle 07-02-2018 10:08 AM

What I should have posted originally.

8/1

$100 bet pays $800 if Japan wins in regulation.

rubber soul 07-02-2018 10:42 AM

Gee, if Japan wins, I'll be rich :D

ok

I see you ninja modded you’re corrected bracket it

If we were playing for money I wouldn’t allow you to add missing picks late but since we’re just playing for fun.

I organized a bracket pool at work and one guy ****ed up his picks so I returned his ten bucks and declared his bracket voided and my colleagues complained about that even. They wanted me to keep his money even though it wasn’t filled in so he had no chance!

If Hawk wins he'd be able to buy ramen.

Trollheart 07-02-2018 12:09 PM

Hey Fluff! Japan v Belgium is like watching Arsenal v Chelsea, kitwise. :laughing:

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 12:25 PM

Lukaku is so clumsy.

rubber soul 07-02-2018 12:44 PM

Hey, think Belgium wants to lose so they don't have to face Brazil? :D

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 12:47 PM

No because they would go out.

rubber soul 07-02-2018 01:06 PM

Sh*****!


Japan up 1-0. I might be getting in the lead here :D

debaserr 07-02-2018 01:07 PM

I suddenly want to watch this

Two nil now.

This World Cup is ridiculous.

rubber soul 07-02-2018 01:11 PM

Japan 2-0. This could be the biggest upset in this cup. Forget the Russia-Spain stats.

debaserr 07-02-2018 01:11 PM

That was a nice one. Go time.

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 01:18 PM

This would be bigger than Spain I think yes.

The big hitters are dropping like flies.

Netherlands
Italy
Germany
Spain
Argentina
Belgium at the moment.

It's unreal.

debaserr 07-02-2018 01:21 PM

Needed that one.

To be fair the odds reflected that. It would be a massive shock if Japan win.

debaserr 07-02-2018 01:25 PM

Starting to look like will.

Trollheart 07-02-2018 01:26 PM

Is this for ****ing real? I watched up to like 46 mins and 0-0. I go downstairs to give Karen her dinner, back up and it's 2-0 Japan?????

Loads of time tbh.

Edit: can see Japan melting now.

debaserr 07-02-2018 01:29 PM

That was a really nice bonk.

The Batlord 07-02-2018 01:30 PM

... It's coming home.

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 01:31 PM

Party over.

2-2

debaserr 07-02-2018 01:32 PM

Well then. Two sets of goals.

Akai 07-02-2018 01:39 PM

Looking dangerous now.

Cuthbert 07-02-2018 01:45 PM

Japan need to score quick they won't manage extra time.
