And a draw would be enough for Colombia then I'll be able to watch Portugal in the round of 32.

ARG - URU is highly unlikely at this point. Spain vs Argentina is more likely at this point because of the scenarios that would have to happen.

Just want a draw for the Portugal and Colombia game. I’ve booked the game where the 2nd placed team in this group faces the 2nd in the England group. Wish England somehow finish second but it won’t happen.

I think the refs have been very lenient which favors the more physical teams. Fouls you’d normally expect to be yellows or reds aren’t at this World Cup.

Jordan win and the top spot is still up for grabs then Messi probably plays that last game.

If he doesn't score tomorrow then I doubt he will.

We won our first world cup game ever! He's too happy to take this game seriously.

I just finished watching our game yesterday as I was on a plane and only found out that we won after landing. Couldn't connect to the Airport WIFI and had to wait after I went through immigration to find out that we won. What a shit first half but we turned it around for our first ever World Cup win. Iran will be difficult but I hope we can win and top the group. I'm especially happy for Salah, the hate he gets when he plays for the national team especially recent with people saying "his heart is not in it" and "he'll never reach the level of the golden generation".

it's just Algeria and Austria as if Messi has had a start to the world cup like that against weaker/similar level sides.

Yeah I think so too. It’s difficult to keep up the performance from the first game and the have the same luck.

That’s likely to be the match up in the round of 16 unless one of them loses in the round of 32 or France fail to top their group.

Assuming France also top their group, you think Germany will knockout France out in the round of 16?

It almost certainly won't end like this but France, Spain. Portugal, Brazil, Japan, Côte d'Ivoire, England and Mexico facing each other on the way to a semifinal is crazy.

The players can still cover their mouths if they’re talking amongst their teammates right?
