Embarrassing

Anyone tempted by those odds bookmakers are offering for Colombia to beat England on penalties tonight?

Harry Kane anytime England win, should be the best bet, though I've backed Colombia on the predection competion! Couldnt force myself to like them (I mean their fans and media, the team Ive no issues with)  enough to have money on them

It's the PREDICITON Competition. Not the PREDECTION competition.

Thanks! Silly me, I'll be able to spell prediction now and not use predection   

Good stuff.  Now you've that mastered you can have a go at 'competition'.   

Wlil do! No sepll cehck on my pohne so evrey thnig bieng seplt worngly

Yes indeed. This conversation is between me and HS only. So HS Sweden and Switzerland, who are we cheering for today, and why?

Fcuk the Swiss... though I love their chocolate! and Watches and Rodger Fed!

That is definitely less.

One of many, but safe to say there ain't that many countries who don't have a past.. and there is no relevance to a soccer team.

I don't believe it!

Good enough for the b**tards.

I was hoping they'd win because they're a good team and they've a Celtic player. but I'm always interested in your logic for not supporting a team.

Their deplorable actions in the Congo rules them out against most of the world for me.

That would rule out most nations that have raped and pillaged, you'd have preferred Japan to win?

Yes. I had to chose one over the other.
It often comes down to the lesser of two evils. Not many are worse than Belgium for me.

Lesser of two evils, hmmmm

Belgium were lucky with the fluke of a goal that got them back into the game. Apart from that the outcome was inevitable.

Those fluke goals come from the pressure they applied.. Japan scored their first from a counterattack against the run of play.. the best team won, some people prefer the underdog and I do too if they deserve it, Belgium had nearly 60% possession, 24 shots 8 on target forced 10 corners, compare that to 11 shots and 4 on target, one team deserved to win

As I drove home, Newtownards Road in Belfast was a scary place this evening.

Mini 12th?

Worthy of winning any game!

My sweepstake looking better.

I still think martinez is a poor manager and belgium if they do well will do so in spite of him.

Big coco has looked ok this tournament.

He's plan b in fairness, which some of the bigger teams haven't got! England have that option also in Vardy and Rashford... Belgium could still go out here! Loving the shocks

G that game should be making it the WFT thread! I looks like some amount of talented players in the world have not made the last 8 this world cup

Work rate, heart and organisation go a long way in international football. Some of the more talented and bigger nations seem to lack this whether it be egos or whatever causes it i dunno.

Only downside is i have belgium in the work sweepstake.

Belgium always disappoint but in my view martinez a poor manager and not the right guy for the job.

How's that working out now? Big Coco the clown has it

Feck this match more Hope Solo.

If RTE had a guy who had allegations of domestic abuse against him on the show there would be uproar. The case was thrown out on a technicality and they way she acted towards the cops is brutal. Should t be near our telly

Agreed. Same goes for Paddy Jackson and his less talented buddies.

Relevance?

Is there any reason they couldn't have played extra time in the Galway/Kilkenny game?

Finals never go to a extra time, only after the replay do they go to extra time, semi finals and other rounds go to extra time..

It would have been needed to be stated and agreed at the top before that could happen
