I'm predicting 2 upsets

Croatia 2 - 1 Brazil

Holland 1 - 0 cheating Argies

I'm desperately trying to get a ticket for England game tomorrow 😫

Watched the 10pm.KO Brazil v Croat game but didnt bother with the stupid oclock Cloggies v Argies ..so missed that equalizer in the 11th minute of added time taking the game to ET n pens ..sadly the Argies winning thru..

Croatia desreved their win .. nothing agai st the Brazilians ..well.only Neymar dont like his play acting and smugness when he scored thi individual wrongly he had won the game n a hero again .. grown men blubbering as the last Brazilian standing missed his penalty..

What odds all the Qfs going to.pens ..would ov been worth a few quid ..

Dm predicts .. Portugal.to.beat Morrcco .. 3 - 1
And ansf
England n France to be a goal.feat inc ET ...sadly the tipping the Froggies to go into the semis ..hope im.wrong.but just the French are a smidgeon.to goid for us.

Hoping closet 3 Luons fans Jack n wee Tammy will be cheering on the English later tpnight ...

Elsewhere .. other equally big games Scunny away at Yeovil

Oh yeah Fart Walliam v Dumbfirmline in the pick.of the Jock action ..weather permitting

In lieu of seeing any credible international footballing performance from Scotland ever gain, I admit that I quietly root for the Englanders.

Then I bump into Dm and the moment is lost.

C'mon Croatia!!

All be it brief it was jolly nice to see you Jammy .. im somewhat saddened you lose your rooting ability when our paths cross .. i normally have the opposite effect such are my youthful good looks charm and so fistication.

It is pleasing you have finally come to terms with your beloved homeland not likely involved in any real international football anytime in the next generation or two .. indeed a brave marn to admit it WELL DONE its taken a while.

Obviously my first choice to win the cup is England alas cant see it coming up a French side in the quarters ..BUT my wish team to win it other than England is Croatia .. i like there style of play , they done give up and i shall be rooting for them if the 3 lions depart.

IMO sadly its edging to a France Argies final .... in which case NO COMMENT as dont want either to win it , never forget the Falklands and the French sending all these dingy dossers over makes my piss boil.

I really don't like penalty shootouts. When it gets that far I think both teams deserve to lose. I'd much prefer golden goal in extra time wins the game. Winning by scoring a goal.
Given my 100% incorrect tips from last nights 1/4 final I am going for Portugal to beat Morocco 2 - 0 and England to beat France 6 - 4 (2 - 2 after 90).

Totally agree with the golden goal Marj .. i much prefered that method and both teams actually push to score not sit back n take pens option.

PORTUGAL 3-1 WINNERS
FRANCE TO BEAT ENGLAND 3-2 aet :( ..please no pens

Frogs 2 - 1
Best being part of this forum by placing the intellectual challenged on foes list. A lot less post to read and a great time saver.

Southgates plan is to put put Jack Grealish & Phil Foden in little rubber boats along the wing, that way the Froggies will stay well away from them until they are already through their defense

It would be better if the Englanders fall to the French tonight rather than get their arses handed to them by Morocco later.

I thought England were the better team. Shame Kane missed the penalty.
No idea why Southgate took off Saka. He had a brilliant first half. Stupid if you ask me.

My thoughts exactly. He was even having a better second half. Then to compound the error by replacing him with the useless Sterling. Proof that the useless Wokegate doesn't have a clue.

2-1 to tge Frogs as predicted by quite a few..

Its coming home .. the team that is.

Must just say its been great to have been involved in this rather unique part of history ... so many other nations werent so.fortunate or good enough to even quailfy .. ie Italy and Scotland.

The other big result if yesterday was Scunny drawing at Yeovil
