December 7, 20223 yr Author Not a fan of Friday games, but so it goes. The bracket is super interesting now. I predict: Brazil, Argentina, Portugal and England
December 7, 20223 yr 538's model actually has England as a very slight favorite over France (52-48) and the SF b/w Portugal and France/England as a toss-up. They have Brazil as a strong favorite to emerge from the other side and win it all. I'm not sure why the Dutch aren't getting more respect.

England being a favorite over France, though? I guess 538 doesn't factor in them being the Aggy of the fusbal world? Choking under pressure is what they do. And nobody is stopping Mbappe. Dude is on another level.
December 7, 20223 yr Dutch, Brazil, Morocco (why not? Bring on the Moops). France vs England is the hard one. Going to call France just to piss off my English friends.

Brazil, Netherlands, Portugal, France If I didn’t have a vested interest in Argentina, these most probably would be my picks. 9 hours ago, alincoln said: …I'm not sure why the Dutch aren't getting more respect. It is be because the Dutch didn’t qualify in 2018 and because the Dutch stars aren’t stars. They either have failed at top levels (Dupay & Blind), their club has underperformed since they have returned from injury (Virgil), or they have yet to play for a big club. THAT is why they aren’t getting more respect.
December 8, 20223 yr Going to go with an upset. Brazil, Netherlands, Portugal, FranceI hope this happens.

Going to call France just to piss off my English friends. Because they aren't playing a side that will be timid again. Portugal, so long as they have CR7 on the bench is a well oiled attacking side. I think they are going to probably win the game 4-0. What's interesting is that Portugal just might be able to pull the upset against the France/England winner and make the final.

And yes, Portugal looked great against the Swiss.

December 9, 20223 yr Haha. Don’t try to even claim that Argentine fans don’t talk like that. Or even worse. I thought aggy was the only classy fan in the world of sports.
December 9, 20223 yr I own my hatred of Argentina football. The scheiss argies have always been assholes on the field. The country is fine, a clusterfuck of a place that makes Brazil look well governed but beautiful women and great food. Even if they don’t know what a real churrasco looks like.
December 9, 20223 yr Argentina is well known as the most racist country in South America. F em --------- https://www.thehistoryville.com/afro-argentines/
December 9, 20223 yr I don’t really have a team left in this tournament. I have a dear friend from Croatia, so I can root for them. I don’t hate Portugal, or France. I’ve had some really great fun in France. I’ve never been to North Africa, although I really like the movie Casablanca. The only team still alive in this tournament I will actively root against is England.
December 9, 20223 yr Fucking Modric is so damn fun to watch. Dude is unbelievable at that position, let alone for a 37 yr old. Looks like he could play again in 4 years if he were moved to a less attacking role. Edited December 9, 20223 yr by Trey3216
December 9, 20223 yr Croatia playing very strong. Which isnt surprising because they did make the world cup final in 2018. It does feel like this will be a narrow Brazil win but Croatia is definitely in this.
December 9, 20223 yr 21 minutes ago, Longboard Horn said: Croatia has a good chance to steal this game Yep, Brazil very much likes to turn it on around 55’-60’ though
December 9, 20223 yr A little too relaxed for me. I suspect right out of the gate in the second half Brazil will be pressing.

That play is exactly why I would make the rule a foot contacting the head would be a straight red card. Does he mean for that to be dangerous? No, but it's dangerous and you want plays like that out of the game.

You're out of your element Hornsby. People won't be risking their lives to try to get their melons kicked in. You would have to go out of your way to make it happen. I think I did leave out my rule would be a high boot - IE contact above the waist. So that does make it a little less incidental. You add that stipulation, you solve any issue with this rule.
December 9, 20223 yr Unreal, that shouldve been an easy goal Edited December 9, 20223 yr by The_Great_Hornsby
