Croatia is dangerous, very dangerous. It's kind of revealing that 9 of the 12 goals England made were fault or corner kicks.

The match was rather fun, specially the first half. Hazard tried a lot, he's a fantastic player, but again, I think Belgium isn't that great, they had some good luck at the right time. France has a great defence, it reminds me a lot to the one that Spain had when they won the 2010 Cup, always attentive, fast and effective without roughness. They know how to anticipate and then they feel safe with their goalkeeper. Then they have Mbappé and Griezmann. They're going to be really difficult to beat, that would take some clever players "seeing" through the lines. Those are Modric and Rakitic We'll see tomorrow...

And now what did you do TODAY?
Stay cold and safe, mates. Summer here isn't being as hot as the three past years, but today and the next few days it'll be in the 95-100ºF max but hopefully the nights will be around 72. I prefer them cooler but won't complain, last year we had a lot of nights around 86.

We'll see, Croatia is a very good team that should beat Russia and make the semis too. Whoever wins the Belgium-France would eventually make a wonderful final against Croatia, although you're probably right, the level of intensity and hopefully quality of the France vs Belgium will be hard to beat. I don't specially like Fellaini, but that's me and my personal taste for this game, I can understand people like him.

WTF! This World Cup won't cease to surprise. You guys loved Belgium but IMHO it is a bunch of mediocre players with some luck. Weren't for Courtois and that damn clumsiness of Coutinho there'd still be an American team in the Cup this far. Belgium vs France is going to be way more than a football match

It's what the game becomes in these competitions, no one wants to risk... Spain lost to their own insecurities and lack of speed A new cycle must begin. I'm happy for Croatia, I think they can play a lot better than they showed today.

Godin can defend that, he's really good, fast and effective, he plays with Atlético de Madrid in La Liga. I've seen him doing incredible things. Don't get me wrong, this is about winning matches and that's how the tournament goes, but I like better teams displaying some abilities, dribbling and tactics than just defending and waiting for the rival to make a mistake. Their second goal was good, yet not amazing. Cristiano can do amazing.

I'm really sorry for Portugal. Uruguay doesn't really play, they just defend like rocks with eight players all the time, and send balls to their theatrical Suarez. He should be ashamed, he deserves the Sarah Bernhardt award ? However that's what wins tournaments like this. Don't be fooled, Cristiano just wanted Cavani to leave the field asap.

This!!!! It was a fun to watch game. I don't really see England beating any of the S teams, both are great defenders. No idea which of them would win their match.

We'll see, Argentina this year wouldn't be making any final, but they're dangerous as is Brazil. If Spain beats Russia, the host, which is never a great idea, anything can happen I see Croatia as a solid candidate. Not so sure about Belgium, but I haven't watched a full match of them. The first half of the Belgium vs England was boring as hell, I didn't see anything special that makes me think they're better than Brazil, Uruguay, Croatia or even Spain.

It was a great kick that of Kroos', he just got the necessary angle from the side kick from his pal. That's why he's so valuable to Real Madrid, he delivers when it's most needed. I've suffered a couple of such nail-biting games this season on the Champions League. It would have been easier for the rest of the aspirants having Germany back to home, but it's more fun with them in

White dial or black dial. I don't like the green dots over blue or the blue dots over grey dial, but that's highly personal.
