@very-rusty saidIt appears so, but that pressure to win can weigh down a team a lot of times.
I believe Brazil is the favorite! 🙂

@very-rusty saidI thought in American football offensive linemen could batter opposing players trying to get to their quarter back or running backs.
I don't think they ever played the man in 1970's football, not soccer now Football, you know the one where you throw the ball? 🙂

@the-gravedigger saidTrue, but you may not be playing the same man you did the last change, never know who you will be facing. The object or part of it is to protect the quarterback, but still sacks happen. You get yard penalties like 10 or 15 depending on the infraction. Either losing ground or gaining it. Now Basketball would be a man on man game, and even that is hard to do.

@very-rusty saidOk, so what about ice hockey, the players always seem to be battering each other.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhat if an underdog like Canada or one of the other underdog countries were to win it. Would fighting and brawling break out in the bars?
We will tolerate the scandal sir.

@the-gravedigger saidThey also get penalties and suspensions and fines, I am talking big fines like a 5 or 10 game suspension would be some big bucks out that players pocket!!!!

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI don't think you will have to be concerned about that happening. 🙂

@trev33 saidThank you for pointing that out...
Pondy you missed the Belgium group, only 14 last 16 selected.
Belgium and Croatia will progress, and it should alter my complete prediction... they both could progress to the semis...
btw we have two times Netherlands and two times England as
