Guy at work today trying to persuade me he'd rather play Brazil or Colombia than Sweden or Switzerland.

Eight changes for England apparently? Pickford, Stones and Lingard still in. Guess there's a similar turnover for Belgium as well.
Excited for Everton v Leicester tonight.

Belgium or England surely have to go for it, right? Do managers look two rounds ahead? The prize is to play Japan. XP lol

worst thing about tonight's game is having to watch fellaini again knowing that he'll probably be back at man u next season

honestly can't see Belgium or England giving a fuck about 1st or 2nd on a strategic level. Play the second 11, they're more likely to wanna perform anyway.

poor mexico, trying to get past the round of 16 for 30 years and they run into Brazil
Isn't their record against Brazil relatively decent though? Maybe being thought of as underdog more than usual helps them this time. Brazil more likely to lose to them than anyone else in their path.

I think if they can manage to lose 3-0 to Sweden they should be concerned about playing Brazil tbh.
― Alan Alba (Tom D.), Thursday, 28 June 2018 16:37 (six years ago) link
Losing heavily and still going through = mark of champions
― shaqiri tip (nashwan), Thursday, 28 June 2018 16:44 (six years ago) link
Get the sense ever since the draw that Mexico were just laser focussed on that first germany game, determined to win it in order to win the group and avoid brazil in the last 16. It was going to be the game that defined their world cup, charting a clear path to the fifth game, and maybe more. They really fucked up against Sweden.

prediction: 2-2 draw. through 90 minutes it's 1-1, rashford scores one early, baby hazard to equalize within 5 minutes, boring game until 92nd minute where each team scores on a free kick

Lol this game is in Saransk. Based on something my old russian teacher once said, I understand Saransk is considered in Russia to be proverbially hicksville/arse end of nowhere.

390 miles east of Moscow, which as distances in Russia go isn't far.

If this game is going to be decided on yellow cards then Belgium are going to lose.

Not watching the game but supposedly Belgian fans cheered the last yellow card.
― Alan Alba (Tom D.), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:38 (six years ago) link
The Belgian shirts are something. The front looks like a hipster's idea of a football shirt, while the lettering and numbers on the back look they were drawn by a bored eight year old in maths class.

If the end result is 0-0 and Belgium lose because of those two yellow cards, then this will be the most disappointing England draw since the last one.
