    No scoreless match in this WC so far, we managed to see at least one goal so far in every match :eek: Anyway picking Denmark, France, and Argentina to win tomorrow :D

    Too bad Argentina seems to be in big time trouble now :eek: I do hope we will see at least a couple of South American team in the Round of 16, right now only Brazil looks promising while Columbia can still advance if they play well for the next 2 matches.

    Picking Brazil and Iceland to win tomorrow, and a draw between Serbia and Switzerland :D

    After the loss by Iceland today, Argentina is still alive I guess :p Definitely don't hope Messi to go out so early despite Argentina doesn't look like a good team at all so far :eek:

    My picks for the next 3 days

    Mexico over South Korea
    Germany over Sweden
    Belgium over Tunisia
    England over Panama
    Senegal over Japan
    Colombia over Poland
    Russia over Uruguay
    Egypt over Saudi Arabia
    Portugal over Iran
    Spain over Morocco

    No faves here, but I hafta say it's been a lot of fun watching games and drinking beers with the locals here in Croatia as their team has kicked some serious @$$ in the first two matches. I didn't plan to be here for WC...just another happy coincidence that travel often brings to life! :)

    Congrats, and have fun @Three Eyes!

    This has definitely been an entertaining World Cup so far. Looking for to game 3 of 3 in the group stage as they start to be a lot of do or die games. Bracket stage is going to be awesome too. This is the first world cup I've followed closely and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

    OK 2 matches for the Round of 16 are now set, we will get Spain vs Russia and Portugal vs Uruguay. Spain needed a late goal to secure first place in the group while Iran actually had a golden opportunity to win 2-1 vs Portugal and knocked Portugal out at the end :eek:

    Will see if Argentina will win and stay alive tomorrow, could be setting up for France vs Argentina in Round of 16 :D

    Japan is surprisingly good :eek: Japan is like one of my favorite countries to travel to and I like Japanese food, I guess I will root for them to get to the next round :D

    Good to hear you are having fun there :D Croatia looking pretty good and won't be surprised to see them going deep into this tournament

    Yeah I think this WC is definitely better than the one in 2014, at least for now :p

    Hoping Korea can somehow beat Germany or at least DRAW with them and then Germany can possibly miss the bracket stage. I like watching favorites go down early :)

    Well my predictions definitely didn't go well for the matches today although I did decent for the weekend matches :p Picking Peru, France, Croatia, and Argentina to win tomorrow :D Not really that confident in Argentina to be honest but I kinda want to see France vs Argentina in Round of 16 :D

    What a game between Argentina and Nigeria. Thrilled to see Argentina advance, but saddened to see Nigeria and Iceland disqualified, especially with how well Nigeria played.

    Argentina vs. France is sure to be epic. I favor France winning it all but with the heart Argentina put on display today, anything is possible. I`d be happy if anyone one of those teams advance.

    That would be another `don't leave your seat` type of game. A re-do of last Cups final. Will Germany beat Brazil 7-1 again? Doubtful.

    In order, I favor:

    France
    Argentina
    Germany
    Colombia

    If any one of those teams makes it to the finals and wins it, I can't complain.
