Everything has turned on its head, England were due to play Brazil in the heat and humidity of Miami (there is a huge South American population in Miami) now they get to play a Scandinavian country there.

France v Morocco could be low scoring, tight game Morocco very hard to beat and its due to be played in temps of about 32 degrees, France 1-0

Spain v Belgium, Spain should get the usual 1-0 or so win, they don't concede.

England v Norway both teams to score, Haaland/Kane etc, 2-1 England most likely result, England just need to keep Odegaard and Haaland quiet to win.

Argentina v Switzerland another low scorer, Switzerland hard to beat but limited, Argentina no creativity or goals outside of Messi, they are not as good as 4 years ago without the creativity of Di Maria.

Most experts are along those lines but football is played on grass and not paper.


It’s really not fair is it Trampie, just not fair 😭

I would rate every match as 50/50 for every team from here on in, possibly France marginally better but not much.

If it is a Friday we Welshies will be all over this one. Take one for the Union Solidarity with the Saes brothers ( and sisters). The disallowed goal for Zico was a travesty.

Just passed through the village and yes you guessed it the Norwegian flag is flying high.
Who ever has bought them I guess if England win the World Cup he or she could sell those flags for a profit, that would be my guess anyway.

Before the World Cup started I didn't think I would watch as many matches as I have mainly because of kick off times, but one thing I have enjoyed is the leveling up of the so called weaker teams. Am I the only one who thinks that in general the quality is not there this year and the favourites seem very average for most of the matches. France have been mostly good but others have been lucky to stay in games at times and others like Germany have gone home early.

Quality is definitely not there, like tonight Spain should be way ahead. They are over passing, losing the ball and running into cul-de-sacs. I would say it’s the best England side since 1990, Argentina haven’t shown much and could be in danger of going out v Switzerland. Even France who could be rated as the best side there are nowhere near previous French sides.

All average i would say.

Sickness bug in the England camp. All we need now is for Harry Kane to be arrested for shoplifting and it will be 1970 all over again😒

Belgium's & Man U keeper Senne Lammens bumbles his save & Spain's Merino pounces to score winning goal in waning minutes. Maybe both Margetson and Darlow made the right decisions in moving to Man Utd? I understand Kit is going out on loan this coming season to a National League side to gain more senior team experience.

Bloody Spain. How the hell have they got this far and yet you still feel they can go up a gear?

In fairness to Spain they were relentless in their attack in the last 20 minutes

With many sectors in the economy really struggling wont be welcomed by the employers but no surprise they are good at spending other people's money

All England atm , whether it’s Norways game plan is to let England come onto them but it could be their undoing . Long way to go if course and games are often one by one and this could be one of those games
