There's no desperation in England tonight. They don't seem to care very much about the fact they're losing.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

And if we now count the teams that have qualified for the round of 16, we have 10 from Europe, 4 from South America, and then Japan and Mexico. Not a single team from Africa ... Apart from Senegal, the African teams have been pretty poor in this tournament.

So, who will everyone be supporting now that the tournament has entered the knock-out rounds?

In this order: Brazil-Portugal-Uruguay-Colombia-Belgium-England-Croatia-Sweden-Mexico-Denmark-Japan-Spain-France-Swizerland-Russia-Argentina

Just don't ask me the 16 reasons why

Pretty neutral, except I want the Portugese flukers to go out ASAP.

A Brazil Argentina semi final is what I want to see from that line up.
Croatia Sweden from the other side.

Messi to win the day. Doubt it will happen, though. Argentina are too shit to win this World Cup, surely...

 

[Night Prowler]

My order of preference:

England-Portugal-Belgium-France-(Colombia-Sweden-Mexico-Denmark-Japan-Russia-Uruguay)-Spain-Argentina-Brazil-Croatia-Switzerland

The ones in the middle are pretty interchangeable though.

This one is way better but unfortunately with Dutch subtitles. My son will love it. He was for Germany and he's interested in WWII.

For the first time since the introduction of the eighth finals (Mexico, World Cup 1986), there is no African country in the last sixteen.
Ten European countries reached the eighth finals. That happened for the last time in 2006. Only Iceland, Serbia, Germany
and Poland failed. South America delivers four countries in the last sixteen. Asia and North/Central America (ConCaCaf) one.

Last sixteen on all WC's since 1986:
'18 '14 '10 '06 '02 '98 '94 '90 '86
Europe 10 6 6 10 9 10 10 10 10
Africa 0 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Asia 1 0 2 0 2 0 1 0 0
S-America 4 5 5 3 2 4 2 4 4
ConCaCaf 1 3 2 1 2 1 2 1 1
Oceania 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0

I'm counting 30 @LooseCannon

It's Brazil. Instead of 1 you give 0 points to people who have said Brazil would qualify.

@Saapanael you have 14 out of 16 countries correct (Peru and Germany are the only wrong predictions). That's admirable!

 

[Forostar]

As I write this we have less than 31 hours to fill in the sheet. Let's see if some peope forget to do this. Would make a comeback a little easier. ;-P

Batshuayi again in the GIF format.
