Congrats Russia. I had a feeling Spain was going to loose and all analysts had them as one of the finalists with Brazil xD

I can't speak for everyone else, but for me I'm a Liverpool fan. What he did to Salah should have got his ass suspended for the World Cup, but I suppose Spain's sheer incompetence got that covered pretty good.

Parking the bus vs. endless pointless passing. Thrilling.

Yes... no
Seriously though. Never would have thought that Russia will kick them out. Unbelievable. But good for the general mood.

Russia will be having fun until the buck stops at either Spain or Portugal.

I wanted Denmark to win but Croatia deserved it after the professional foul. Should have been a straight red for that.

Never underestimate the host country. It's actually one of the few things that I don't enjoy about the World Cup. Things always seem to fall conveniently in the hosts favor, more than what ought to happen realistically, imo.

Rooting for Mexico today, but really as a neutral hoping for an exciting game that shows some really creative stuff.

England's chances are huge, if they make it past Colombia there's an "easy" road till the final.

Any of England’s potential opponents will consider the game a near 50 / 50 opportunity, with a good chance of beating them.
England have a chance of a deep run but they have to play great, no matter the opponent.

Fifa games are 90% of bad acting and 10% of ???
Mexico isn't losing as bad so far but expected they'd lose.

Heh way to fuck it up 2-0
Good try all things considered but Mexico lacked the coaching to deal with the current Brazilian team. Mexico rightly took chances and were able to stave away the Brazilian counter-attacks but in return often ran out of runway room or crossed into midfield to... nobody else but Brazilian players. Without proper leadership, players had to try to make plays on field that they couldn't see or sense.
This is a good Brazilian team, fast on the offense and defense with great depth so if there was a team to lose to, Mexico lost to a team that is looking like they're the #1 team of the tournament.
Neymar can get bent though. Neymar and Suarez are skilled players but both make it look like they're getting hit by snipers on field only to run just fine minutes later.

Belgium not looking to be a challenge for Brazil at this rate. Japan is clearly outclassed but Belgium can't seal the deal and almost pulled an England with nearly conceding that goal there, though not sure if offside.
I can only imagine what Brazil would be thinking if they were to face Japan instead.
