I loved all the emotion from the Japanese players and fans - that's what it's all about!

 

[Jonathan Y]

Did you see Suarez with the Ghanaian journalist earlier.

No!?!? I am intrigued though

 

[Souljacker]

Haha! It always is! The England support is totally why my parents didn’t want us following them. I didn’t know the German fans were that bad?

yeah...

But for me it's club > country so i don't mind too much.

‘I’m not sorry’: Luis Suárez back in eye of the storm for Ghana rematch

Luis Suárez says he does not regret handball that broke Ghana hearts as he prepares for the ultimate grudge match

LOL. He is something

They were laying it on thick about him cheating and the national trauma in Ghana and did he regret it.

Basically said no. I’d do it again. Not apologising, didn’t injure some one. Took the red card, it was your lad that missed the penalty that cost you the semi.

I hate him for lots of scouse related reasons. But I’d feel totally the same in his shoes. It’s only really the shit housery of the ott celebration in the tunnel when they missed that I kinda disagreed with.

France and Brazil both seem far too assured for that. I know the Tunisia defeat for France but I don’t think even Deschamps had heard of half the players he fielded in that one.

There are probably to many big team contenders in Fr a small team to take it.
Argentina Looked much better against Polanski as well, sostill a contender plus England and tge team I picked before the World cup to win it all : Netherlands.

My feeling is France and Brazil are the stand outs. Then you kind of have England, Portugal, Argentina and Spain, who are all very good but have chinks, who could pounce if those two hit a bump. I had the Dutch written off after their first two games because they bored the shit out of me but Gakpo looks sharp and they’re very well drilled so maybe that little group of 4 I named about should expand to 5.

I was dissapointed by the Dutch as well, bug in tge paßt these boring Team with strong defences often make it far, but from now on it's Single game Elimination which means basically anything can happen. I would also bet on one of your 7 teams taking the whole thing but also probably one or two go out with an early upset

At the start I had 2 Bets. Argentina outright and France with Mbappe as top scorer. Despite being much longer odds I think the second is probably looking more likely. Argentina did look like they were begining to finally click in the last match. I really like the look of Alverez from city and him and Messi seem to be on a similar wavelength

I full agree with him on this. He did what was necessary. Ghana didn’t capitalize. Now we need to see him biting ears at the Galaxy next season!

LETS GO JAPAN!!!

I haven’t been able to watch shit because I got a job now.

Damn!

Ghana penalty misses vs. Uruguay

Name a more consistent duo

 

[Jonathan Y]

Suarez with 2 assists already....may have to consider him next round....hehe

 

[Jonathan Y]

Just realized my bracket is about to be screwed next round...I had Uruguay beating Switzerland next round and going far, then Brazil beating Portugal on the way to win it all...but Portugal is gonna win the group so Uruguay is facing Brazil next round...PAIN

Slowly backs out of the conversation.
