Brazil's talent drought continues to be impressive, it's not as staggeringly bad as Italy (we're off the charts in that regard), but as someone who grew up watching the 90s/early 2000s joga bonito generation, it never ceases to feel awkward to see them playing such vanilla "pass the ball to Vini and hope for the best" type of football. Not even the Lucky Eyebrow(tm) was enough to exorcize them
Kudos to Norway, they've been one of my favourites since the qualifying rounds and Haaland is always such a glorious beast. Also, let me join the fuck Paraguay gang, they were so disgustingly dirty yesterday night that I had to root for France which is almost unprecedented
...basically the complete opposite of Cabo Verde, the classy and fierce little fellas that everyone will think highly of.
Absolutely incredible scenes as disgraced former Fifa president Sepp Blatter has clambered on top of the moral high-ground over the rescinding of Folarin Balogun’s automatic suspension for picking up a red card. Blatter said on social media:
Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a US President intervenes with the Fifa president – and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match – the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis (Where are you going), Fifa? Football must never become a playground for political power.
Well in the next one princess7 will already have fucked off for good, so we might have a better team to go at it. Now will he be man enough to talk to the journos today? I'm thinking "no".

All the drama gave Belgium extra motivation and boosted their aggressiveness tenfold, another great victory to add to the list
As for Portugal, Siuuuunaldo will take most of the blame since his legs are gone and the ego is still laughably big Homelander-style, but in all fairness their world-class midfielders all played a rather dull world cup and the attacking players in general brought little to the table as well. Then again, that's how the teams managed by Martinez usually play so that was the primary mistake.
It's a very interesting final phase, I'm rooting for Norway but everything can happen. The only team that's almost certainly not going to make it is Switzerland.
These are my odds
Quarter:
BE - ES: 30-70
EN - NO: 50-50
AR - CH: 90-10
Semi:
ES - FR: 40-60
BE - FR: 20-80
EN - AR: 40-60
NO - AR: 60-40
Final if Norway makes it:
ES - NO: 60-40
FR - NO: 70-30
BE - NO: 30-70

I wasn't expecting Tuchel to set up some prime haramball and park the bus for 45 minutes in a vintage Al Legri-an terrorist style, but here we are . Mexico and Norway died for this..
Argentina did exactly what they were meant to - they've been collecting remuntadas one after another and with Messi spamming accurate crosses it was just a matter of time before England's styrofoam wall inevitably crumbled. It's going to be an interesting final, Spain have been scarily well organized thus far and their midfield is top-notch, but who knows really.

Just a retarded coach. The fuck was he thinking. I’m ahead, let’s field a shit load of defenders, stop playing football and allow the opposition to take a dozen shots at the goal cause we are with more behind the ball so they can’t score anyway. What can go wrong.
This is some depressing shit on the mid game show... 80yo madonna, ???yo ronaldinho gaucho + ronaldo (the non faggot one), what the fuck
Oh now some sort of korean ladyboyband showed up
