Indeed. England have looked pretty good in their last two games.
However, France must be favourites. They just have the real quality and star power which wins these tournments. England will need to play greater than the sum of their parts.
If England do manage to get through it, they do have a real shot at winning the thing.

@MajorRage agree. Although if they have a good defense in front of them and are not able to dominate the midfield, that may throw a spanner in the works. The US showed them up in the midfield. They certainly were clinical today though. They have the tools as does France. Both teams in the top 4 of the tourney.

I would have thought Argentina would have been a safer bet, as Messi seems to bottle it every WC?

Whoever wins the battle in the midfield will go along way to winning. The pace of Mbappé and Dembélé on the flanks will be a big problem for England.

@Bovidae and develop a strategy to pressure Macguire because he'll fold like a cheap suit. One thing I dislike about England is that they tend to hold on to players based on reputation instead of making hard decisions. I remember the years with Steven Gerrard and co and the English midfield was shit but they still picked them.
Even though they blew up the green peace boat I hope the French win.

I'd rather see Brazil win, and I'm not even a fan. I watched one of their early games, their passing was so fun to watch. Do it for Pele

So far round of 16 has had no upsets. Japan vs Croatia should be tight. Logical final will be Brazil vs France.

@canefan i've always been a fan of Brazil. The game is second nature to them. They might have problems against a bigger side, like the French or English perhaps.

I’m not a fan of how this Brazilian side play. Far too conservative/defensive. It may get them the choccies, but for a game that lasts as long as football - 100 minutes - I actually want to be entertained with lots of attack!

@ACT-Crusader I agree they don't match the great Brazil's of past, but they are good at controlling possession and pressuring when they lose it. Can't stand Neymar but he is good and is additive to this team.

Japan 1-0 Croatia
HalftimeThoroughly deserved
Croatia have been wasteful in the box

Croatia have woken up, finally
Brilliant cross and header
Japan 1-1 Croatia

Japan 1-1 Croatia
After extra timePenalties it is

Absolutely rubbish penalty taking from Japan gives Croatia the win
Japan had plenty of opportunity to win this in regulation
Not their time
