That ref should never call an important match ever again!
i'll take a double espresso but not from starbucks, thanks.

Three out of four is not bad for first knockout day, eh? Egypt was robbed like an old lady flashing money amongst a group of Argentinian thugs! That ref was an embarrassment to the sport!
Brazil vs Saudi Arabia ....Brazil
Spain vs South Korea .....Spain
Cameroon vs Mexico ......Mexico (Cameroon are tenacious and may upset MX) W
Colombia vs Costa Rica ..Colombia W
France vs Ecuador ......... Ecuador (France may pull this one out)
Nigeria vs England ......... Nigeria
Portugal vs Guatemala ... Portugal W
Argentina vs Egypt..........Egypt (doubter) L

Korea threatening more but not scoring. They have to take those chances if they're going to win.

you might get your results but to say that they were 'no brainers' is unfair.

Originally posted by trev33For you to say that the score somehow invalidates my predictions is even more unfair and I see you are already backing off conceding you were wrong and I was right. Thus far of six matches I have predicted 5 right and one wrong. You said I'd get at most two right. Where's my Starbucks? Whether it happens in normal time, extra time, the bet is about W's versus L's. You also fail to admit Egypt was robbed! Today's results thus far: Spain 7-6 over Korea in PKSO. Nigeria 1-0 over England. If you maintain there are no brainers how come my predictions are 5-1? Sounds like no brainers to me indeed. I would be 100% were it not for the awful Swiss turd of a ref! Lastly, just because the lesser teams decide to play 10 players in the box, win with a lucky counterattack and or bank on a lucky dive to fool a stupid ref does not lessen the no brainer status of these games. Only upset win thus far is Argencheatia over Egypt!

if you'd have just predicted the winners than fair enough, i'd say you got lucky in a couple of matches out of the five but you didn't, you said they were 'no brainers' where i'm from that means there is no doubt they're going to win. spain on pens and colombia 2-1 down winning with a 90th min pen is hardly a result in which there was zero doubt. not mentioning that portugal and nigeria only won 1-0. i watched the second half of the england game and they could've/should've forced extra time.

Originally posted by trev33Bull! Pay up! England was listless and aimless. Again, just because they force a low scoring game by putting ten in the box does not negate the superiority of the winning side. You surely don't think Korea is as good as Spain? Saudi's drew 0-0 against Brazil in first half. Does that make them contenders? Eventually lost 3-0. Ecuador shouda won 3-0, but could not seem to buy a goal, like USA women versus Japan. You surely do not think Argentina, after being unable to score against Egypt without cheating, is a true contender? They shall get their comeupance. Essentially all the favorites won. Sounds like some rigging may have also been afoot and the Swiss turd's diving yellow against Luque was a cover for allowing the other two dives. Shoulda been a red after that second and obvious dive. I hope Argencheatia gets the same againt their next opponent.
lol yes spain winning then they missed their third pen was a total no brainer 🙄

I do concede that predicting quarterfinal winners is significantly harder than round of 16, but I'll give it a whack.
