No upsets so far in the round of 16. Can Japan cause trouble for Croatia tomorrow?

Not Janick?

Aaand I don't think Ghana's and Uruguay's players will start sending each other Christmas postcards this year either.

How so? With that scoreline, Costa Rica were at 3 points and Spain at 4. Spain out would've required either Germany to win by 8 goals, or CR to win. At 2-1 Costa Rica, Spain were out, but that didn't last very long.

Spain couldn't be arsed, lost against Japan, and Germany are out despite winning. Wow.

Good effort by Belgium today, but poor finishing and Croatia are through!

Agree, but the tournament format does give them one more chance to show what they're capable of. If the first two games are representative, they will get destroyed by Croatia.

Given the current situation and who they're playing, I'd consider both as surprises. Germany need to win against Costa Rica and that's a 90% in my book. They do need Spain avoiding defeat against Japan, but that's another 90% (or more). So let's multiply those probabilities and we get 81% chance...

Germany could've been in the shit too, but they got an all-important equalizer. Had they lost, a draw between Spain and Japan would've seen them out.

Belgium are in trouble ... they must beat Croatia now, unless Canada thrash Morocco by at least three goals.

I wonder what would happen if a fan of Rainbow (the band) wore a t-shirt representing his favourite band to a World Cup game ...

Most entertaining half so far, Portugal 3 Ghana 2 and the Ghanese almost equalized in the dying seconds of the game. A shame that he slipped there, I would've loved to see 3-3. If only to see the face of C. Ronaldo ...

They can shoot, but only moose and other wildlife :ninja:

Good luck :cool:

The one Christmas related thing I allow myself to do in November ... Yule ale. Starting the season with an 8,0 % ABV delicacy. :cheers:

This entire thing is ridiculous. The World Cup starts on Sunday and I don't feel any thrill what so ever. It might have been different if Norway were qualified, but I am not used to feeling indifferent to a major football tournament taking place even if we're not there. The tournament is...

If this is correct, that it was a UKR defensive missile - or both - that crashed in Poland, the simplest solution still would be that the terrorists in Moscow stopped firing missiles at Ukrainian cities. But I guess Comical Sergey is instead going to suggest Ukraine stop shooting at incoming...

Apparently a Ruzzian missile has ended up on the Polish side of the border, killing two :eek: wonder how the orcs will explain this.

Well put @Perun ... Now, coffee.
