Portugal looked a lot better without Ronaldo.
Quarterfinals coming up. |

hey OC, so does ManU! (snark snark)
Har.
Back to the WC:
The Blue Bloods who made it out of the prelims were rolling, I mean really rolling. Until Morocco steamrolled Spain! wow they are playing great.
Ziyech and to a lesser degree Pulisic have shown they can do more than Chelsea allows them. I hope they offer Chelsea a big bird on their way to better things in the upcoming transfer window.
As for Holland: OC, c'mon, say it: Oranje are playing well, maybe well enough to play 3 more games. |

Ziyech is a product of the Ajax (Amsterdam) school, Pulicic should consider it if he can get out of his Chelsey contract. An almost certified route to success.
The best team to have never won WC is a legendary title that I’m quite sure we will retain. |

| Croatia, yikes. It's a cruel game. Livakovic is in fine form. |

| As a Messi fan (he's the walking definition of a humble and fallible genius) must say I am solidly on fence as to outcome of next game. Let's call it a win-win situation. |

Haha, as diverse as the audience is (one of the positives of this WC) they are not the most informed when it comes to the beautiful game. I mean, chants for Ronaldo to be subbed in as opposed to appreciating the brilliance of his replacement.
That's it for the Orange. This is increasingly looking like Messi's tournament. |

I'm just mostly bummed how absolutely poor my game predictions have been for the pool we have at work.
I had the outcome of this one correct but have Brasil-Spain as final, go figure. Had Senegal as best African team, not Mococco and had Portugal as favorites team to be eliminated in group games, not Belgium or Germany. Croatia didn't factor at all in my predictions; an easy but dangerous team to overlook. |
