Brazil drawing Chile is practically a free pass to the quarterfinals though.

Costa Rica manager, Jorge Luis on England: "We look forward to testing our fringe players against the weakest side in the group."

The way the matches of the last 16 are set should be changed in the future, it's too predictable
The system used in the Copa Libertadores it's better, a table it's made with all the 1st placed teams (A Group) and another with the 2nd placed teams (B Group), and the pairing is made with between the opposite sides of both tables
1st of the A Group plays against the last of the B Group, 2nd of the A against the 2nd-to-last of B, and so on

That's a pretty good call

I liked England in both games, Liverpool players are very good.

 

[Back Door Skip]

England were unlucky because they played well both games, they just played better sides. Or, in the case of the second game, played a better one man team.

Will be a close match.

Brazil will rape the overrated Chilean ass

 

[Back Door Skip]

Yeah.

4-1

 

[ARIAGA II]

Where is Galaxyman?

 

[derok]

Brazil will rape the overrated Chilean ass

My prediction is that Brazil will win but it will be a very close match. With both teams looking for an early goal and Chile as always putting pressure with their forwards on Brazil defense. Final result could be: Brazil 2 Chile 1. But I really don't know, I feel like Chile could win it as well.
I like both teams, but it will be sad if Brazil loses on their home country, so I want Brazil to win.

Greece have advanced further than Italy at a World Cup.

 

[Pogba4Now]

And the defending champions.

I hope they lose beautifully because I don't want to watch any boring teams in this World Cup.

If you think that's boring - If Nigeria lose and Iran win by 1 - 0 respectively; the runner-up in Group F will be decided by a drawing of lots....

"I had contact with his shoulder, nothing more, things like that happen all the time."

 

[Back Door Skip]

I'm really intrigued about the course of action that Fifa will take with this...

 

[Bobby]

Ah, yeah. The ol' shoulder nuzzle, you see it all the time.
