I would not be surprised if it happened again. If enough money is thrown into the pot, anything is possible.

Germany in particular are on a knife edge. Spain will be a tough game for them, and if Japan beat Costa Rica......

That match would be very interesting. Even more after Costa Rica's win against Japan😱 Logic is not working here😂

Shocks galore! Costa Rica (who lost 7-0) to Spain beat Japan and now Morocco about to beat Belgium. Wow! 😳

A question for the Brits here: why does the UK have 4 national teams? I mean, today's England vs Wales looks like a domestic match😂

That’s a good question and I don’t know the answer but in
 practice it has meant that some of our greatest, world class players like George Best, Kenny Dalgliesh, Graham Souness, Ian Rush, etc. have never really had a chance to show what they could do on a world stage for GB.

It’s also meant Wales is a one man team. Tonight isn’t England v Wales. It’s England v Gareth Bale.

Yeah, I've always wondered that as well. I remember 40+ years ago Scotland making appearances.  It's like back when the USSR still existed Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were allowed to vote in the United Nations even though they were part of the USSR at that time. The Russians must have had some sharp lawyers when the UN charter was written 🤪

Well done American people. 👍

England beat Wales 3 - 0 and played well.

So England go through at the top of the table and USA go through  in second place!

Awesome stuff. Except for one thing...

USA now face Holland... (The Netherlands if you like) 🤣 Good luck with that. 😁

World Cup Round of 16 Odds

Country Odds to Advance
England -450
Netherlands -225
USA +175
Senegal +333

 

So the bookies think that USA has a reasonable chance against Nederlands.

(200 is half way between 225 and 175, so the bookies think USA vs. Nederland is really a +-200 game. i.e. USA has a 1 in 3 chance to win, and a 2 in 3 chance to lose). But they think Senegal needs a miracle to beat England.

I'll be watching US vs NL very carefully. If we do our homework against Australia (fuerza, Scaloni!), we'll be facing the winner of that match. Where did you get this info from, @Fielder?

Hmm... I think the US team are a lot more proficient than they used to be. Some of the US team play in the UK Premier League.

I can't see then beating Netherlands though to be honest. I'll watch it though and cross my fingers for you guys.
