picks for the final: Belgium vs (Colombia/England) ----> overall WC winner ... I started the WC by picking Colombia, as a sentimental pick, and would like to see them emerge as champs...but England appears to have the "something"


Africa doesn't have a team in the knock-outs, but Senegal deserves to be there;

and Mexico is the lone Concacaf team...the two weakest regions in FIFA and the US couldn't qualify...sad state of affairs for US Soccer, because it can't be said that we'd have done better than Panama or Costa Rica......

not looking forward to expansion to 48 teams

Columbia is in trouble if James is done. He's the guy that links it all together. Concacaf is poor. Mexico isn't anything special

Tomorrow we see if France can even reach half of their potential.

Really looking forward to the lare game. See if Ronaldo can be Ronaldo again.

Messi and Ronaldo out early, soccer proving it is the ultimate team sport! I kind of felt Ronaldo was going to make me eat my words with his hot start about coming up short in the World Cup every time.

75th minute. Looks as if the Russians are wearing down.

They'll need another steroid injection.

Yea...I'm taking back his anointment as the best soccer player ever...

even though he was marked by two or three players in the attacking third, he should've made more dangerous passes to open teammates...he seems to lack the vision needed to create opportunities for his supporting cast...and Messi wasn't much better as far as results but he does have a more complete game...


"lesser" players like Suarez of Uruguay and Rodriguez of Colombia can dish AND score...and Suarez and James are tenacious defenders too...

Pretty sure Trump had something to do with that result...as payment for their help in 2016...ooops, sorry, wrong thread...


Croatia's win was karmic justice...that take down from behind in the area by a Danish player on an obvious Croat goal opportunity should've been a red card...both keepers were amazing in the shoot-out...even better than Russia's...

FIFA should consider altering the sub rules for over-time in knock-out stages of tournaments...more subs should be allowed, including allowing a player who was subbed for during regulation to re-enter. Watching two exhausted sides on the verge of muscle cramps try to muster energy for brief spurts is excrutiating and dull ... seldom rewarded with goals.

I disagree. Tired teams make mistakes. I’m leery of continually wanting to change rules.

We had two games go to pks today but that’s not that common.

Taking tomorrow off for the games.

Have a cigar on Brazil. Win win.

Either a tasty smoke... or out with Neymar.

Need my Belgians tomorrow.

delta -- I know they changes the rule about that a season or two ago. since the foul results in a pk, they bump it down to yellow so the team doesnt lose a man and goal.

but that was a must take foul and done right. take your chances with the pk
