ignoring the chance that cheating cunts will start to weigh up increased chances of detection and punishment there tbh

some incredibly tasty & hard to call QFs. there's been an absurd amount of mbappe hype but uruguay have a proper defence and I imagine their designated big giroud is more likely to make the difference for them. love to see uruguay go further, there's a sobriety to them I find irresistible.
a brazil who have yet to get into top gear versus this motley & ill tempered belgium team is hard to work out. could be a crushing victory full of goals or a tight frustrated game but I am v hopeful for drama in either case.
the other two games are more likely to be excruciating exercises in negation. sweden are at least not totally craven and seem more likely to cause england problems. croatia have the big guns to take pot shots at russia but they seem quite a miserable bunch and have accrued an impressive amount of cards. a sweden-russia semi final would be quite something.

Mainly as the thought of a Russia-England semi is too tasty not to hope for.

I'm honestly not jinxing them now, I stand to earn money out of them after all, but the England game is the result I'm most sure about, the others are much trickier to call.
― Alan Alba (Tom D.), Friday, 6 July 2018 13:04 (five years ago) link
just seen Cavani's confirmed as out which were there anything riding on this wd probably shift my prediction but as it is I'm letting my freak flag fly

Something about these France shirts looks like they’ve all come out to play in their team Jim-jams.

Big fan of whichever Uruguay player tried to throw his hand in the way.

I loved the ref batting the ball down with his hand a few minutes ago when he got in the way

Enjoyed that half, Uru fucked now I think without Cavani to get them back in it, really shd've got in front before France scored

Makes it a lot more fun though. That France defence is far from impenetrable but its a lot better than the Argentina result would suggest.
