World Cup

[The Fonz]

It should be a good game and I think Argentina will play very hard.It is a statement game for them.
For my wish in this game I hope Nigeria beat the crap out of Argentina.

 

[Sasquatch]

match predictions?
I got.
Australia 1-2 Peru
Denmark 0-1 France
Iceland 1-1 Croatia
Nigeria 1-3 Argentina

France has shown flashes of brilliance and Croatia looks solid everywhere. I expect both to win. Argentina looked bad last game. Who knows what will happen given all the drama surrounding that team. I could see your prediction or Nigeria putting the final nail in the coffin.

Yay! Denmark in world top 16 - that's where they should be. Clever game against the French, but overall an underwhelming team to say the least. I'm satisfied, though. Anything from here (won't come) is a bonus, LOL.

Apparently the coaches didn't tell the players to push for a win in the end (Australia down by two scores - hence, it was safe to go for the win). Clowns.

France got the needed point to finish atop the group.
They were pretty dominant.

Peru ran Aus all over the pitch to win easily.

Looking forward to ARG v NIG
Should be a really good and actually meaningful 3rd game.

No shame in a draw with the tourney favorites.
Denmark vs Croatia should be quite good.

Unfortunately, I think there're done - just not a strong team and dont think they hold up mentally.

Croatia will be favorites to win this, but Denmark has a fighting chance of going through to QF.

And Nigeria looked solid v Iceland.

 

[Sarek]

Was taking care of few things but it looks like Croatia changed up their lineup which is what i'd thought they do. Iceland could easily win this game. Croatia looks like their just going through the motions.

 

[Sasquatch]

Argentina looking like a different team. Will they implode if Nigeria scores and swings the momentum in their favor? Don't trust their resolve at this point as they've shown themselves to be very fragile.

 

[csirl]

Finely balanced in each game. Single goal could change everything.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Argentina looks terrible - looks like 11 strangers in a Sunday pick-up game.

Macharano and that coach better not go back to Argentina...I suggest a very long vacation.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Well, Croatia and Argentina it is out of that group. Argentina, imo, is highly undeserving of being second in that group.

 

[jterrell]

Argentina moves on.
No form whatsoever but watch them end up in quarterfinals anyway by beating insanely good France lol.

Glad Moses got a goal!

My predictions weren't too bad.
But all these last minute goals the last few days should make sure no one bets!! lol.

I'd be thrilled if they beat France, for multiple reasons.

iceland didn't get any wins. nigeria only had 1 win and lost the deciding game to argentina while never leading the match.
argentina is the least impressive team versus expectations in this cup so far but argentina won a spot via points plus beat 3rd team head to head.

end of day it kinda went as expected minus crotia beating argentina so easily.

I'm definitely pulling for France and my guys Kante and Giroud but one game knock out stuff so anything can happen.

Well, I'm an England supporter, so I can't really pull for France....but then again, I don't like Argentina too much either. A bit of bad blood there too, though I'd love for England to be the ones to knock Messi out of the WC.
