Shouldn't you be rooting for Russia? Now Mexico are out, they're the next closest nation to the US.

What a bunch of dirty players on Colombia's side. Surprised they still finished with 11 players. And congrats to England for their first penalty shootout win in a WC after three unsuccessful attempts. |

Glad they won, and they won clean. Those dirty Colombians deserve to lose. As usual supporting England, it came down to the wire. Hopefully the next game is less dramatic and a straightforward win for them. |

So 6 out of 8 correct for my L16 predictions. Here's my quarter final predictions for each mouth-watering clash: URUGUAY-FRANCE will win: France want to win: Uruguay BRAZIL-BELGIUM will win: Brazil want to win: Belgium RUSSIA-CROATIA will win: Croatia want to win: Croatia SWEDEN-ENGLAND will win: England want to win: England Almost went for a Sweden win against England, but after watching them last night, they aren't great. They are missing a player like Ibrahimovic. They just lack any creation. At least England constantly move forward, trying to create stuff. I think this will give England the advantage, plus winning on penalties against Colombia when they thought there were going out would have given them even more drive. |

I got 6 our of 8 from the round of 16 too. My quarter finals picks I have little doubt in all those victors, thought, you can still never know with Russia...they can just shut it at the back and then who knows. Uruguay-France should be a fun game, but I have no doubt France will pull it off. I regard Belgium much better than Brazil, and I think England shouldn't have trouble with Sweden, whom I slightly prefer but happy to see England go through anyway. In any case there's 5.5 (Russia only counts for half) European nations in the quarters, so I really think we need more slots for Euro teams at the WC. |

1-1 so far. France deserved the win. Completely superior. Got the job done. Uruguay didn't really pose much of a threat. |

Holy crappa. Belgium just turned a Brazil corner kick into a counter attack from hell and boom is 2-0. |

And, as it should be, a European team will win the WC once again (4 times in a row). Sorry, rest of the world, but you will have to wait 4 1/2 years for your next try.

France vs. Belgium is going to be a great game. Will probably decide who wins the whole thing. So glad Neymar is out. |

That would be a dream. Especially if we won. But even getting to the semi finals, I am sure, would make every living Englishman happy as Larry. |

Sweden did not look like a side that deserved to be in the quarter finals of the world cup. We disposed of them rather effortlessly. So proud that England are through to the semi-finals. I never thought I would see that in my lifetime. Now I want Russia to beat Croatia, so we have an easier chance to reach the final.

Half-time in the Russia-Croatia game. Russia seem to have improved from their previous performances, but still only 35% possession and their goal was isolated and opportunistic, as opposed to the Croatian team goal and 65% possession. Croatia has to win this game. I guess I'd like Russia to win JUST because England will have an easier semi-final against them than against Croatia, but if the cosmos is fair Croatia should win (and I hope they do). They are miles better than Russia. |

Fuck. I fell asleep after Croatia's extra-time goal. They still won, but surprised Russia got a goal afterwards. It's worked out for the best really. I didn't want England to be the team to knock out the hosts. Now that's Croatia. And the game went all the way to penalties so hopefully they will be a bit more fatigued for the England game. |
