part of me feels portugal will pull it together and overcome Uruguay but they haven’t been very convincing...

I will say Portugal manages to win it but it’s not a very convincing win and it’s a very close one. will not be surprised if i’m wrong.

spain through as well ofc

Uruguay better win. Can't be having The Dark Invader spoiling my boys Torreira and Cavani's summer.

I assume everyone will be watching Argentina tonight.

Now or never for Messi.

Win well and they are through. Apparently Messi and Mascherano are picking the team.

Denmark and France both advance with a tie if I’m figuring it right.

Not an especially exciting arrangement

Croatia has pretty much no incentive to beat Iceland

That's why they have the last round of games kick off at the same time for each group. It's to stop teams playing for draws if the other two have already played and they know a draw will see them both through.

England Belgium should be :D
I'm OK as long as England don't lose.

The way this whole thing is set up seems to encourage fans to approach it like bitches who are fine with ties. At least American sports championships don't put up with that ****.

We're not "fine with ties".
Three draws would pretty much guarantee a team is knocked out.

England don't need to win their third game because they won the first two.
