@Madame:

Oh, and Mexico of course @kiya 

Yes, the last couple of weeks have been very good to us Mexico fans, excited to see where game 3 takes us on Wednesday but I'm quite sure that with 6 points we're quite set for the next round.  Been finding some other Mexico fans to watch the games here in Athens and Paris so that's been fun!

England - Belgistan is gonna be such a shite game… Who the hell'd be dumb enough to wanna win that game???

It's gonna rain yellow cards and it'll end in a draw...

[AdamC]

If I were Southgate (which I clearly am not) I would start our strongest team. Whoever wins will take great momentum and confidence into the last 16.

In the words of @AdamJ, to win the World Cup you need to beat the best, it doesn't matter when!

[kiya]

Not like most of you need a reminder… but this World Cup was to take place in England if it wasn't for the shitheads running FIFA.

The Daily (NY Times' very good daily podcast) reminds us of this today, and it's quite a good episode: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-world-cups-mysterious-path-to-russia/id1200361736?i=1000414384816&mt=2

I just knew there were going to be some consequences to @Giles comment from @Seul. 

I happen to have a friendly view of both the English and the Belgian team (as long as they don't play us, needless to say) so this is lots of fun to follow. How did that fitting citation from the classics go…."si tacuisses" or some such?

[louisbosco]

well, i'd say that it isn't that bad to finish second but it really depends on who comes in 1st in the other group.. still wide open except for poland..

wow someone besides Ronaldo actually scored for Portugal.  #teamwork

Uruguay vs Portugal in the round of 16….tasty.  Pulling for Uruguay.

Such a twat.

Amen to that, both of the UK channels doing the WC coverage (iTV and BBC) seem obsessed with giving him camera time, I can't stand the bloke!

Love the World Cup!!

Seul will not stop waking off for the next few days, watching this mess over and over again.

On the other side, if you are not able to win against North Korea you have nothing to do in the final rounds.

To bad my son insisted on buying a Fekking expensive Adidas Trikot yesterday. Tomorrow it will be 30€ less.
