I have France beating Croatia on Sunday.  I am just hoping for a good game. 

 

 

 I wish Croatia wins, but France is playing so right and sharp that i see difficult they lose

was a weak English team, but all you have to do is beat the garbage team you have to play and you can move on in this World Cup

 

1990 was the last English team worthy of praise...  maybe forever..

Picking France myself.  I think they're too good.  Croatia doesn't have the guys to match up, but they didn't have the guys to match up with England either.   

 

one good thing about this, you can pick a new team every game to win it all and not do any reflection on your knowledge of the game

 

two at the office tell me they are perfect so far and they haven't been better than 10%

You don't have to have in depth knowledge to know Brazil/Argentina/Germany/England/France are going to be competitive year in/year out.   Same with Spain.    

 

yeah but.....

 

the Oscars and World Cup fill my life with people who make predictions and then convince themselves they were right all along, even when they got nothing correct

but i'm a man who works and doesn't have too much time to listen to people yak on and on and on about nothing, especially sports fans who are past the age of 20 and should know better

 

 

 for the NCAA bracket, which i didn't ask anyone about, they will go on and on and on about how they got it wrong, a different type of nuisance

Agreed.
 

As an aside, has any player increased their value this World Cup more than Yerry Mina?

I'd bet Trippier has made himself a lot of money.

They need Pogba to start asserting himself. Between Griezmann and Kante they have a great collection of complementary talent, plus Mbappe can change a game by himself...they just looked content to be the better team instead of asserting themselves. But overall they just took care of business like they should. Elimination rounds should bring out their best, from a pure talent standpoint I think they have the best team on paper. Stacked at the back with Varane and Umtiti plus that guy Pavard was really solid today, Kante (who's fantastic and a great partner for an offensive-minded midfield Pogba) in the middle, Griezmann w/Giroud up front is a good match...I mean anytime you can bring a guy like Dembele off the bench you know your squad is pretty deep. 

 

I also think Croatia is about to give Argentina everything they can handle. Might be the best game of group play.

Which smart person said all this way back on June 21st?

That photo of the Croatian Parliament is great! 

 

Keep in mind the whole country is about the size of metro Detroit.

 

Incredible that they have so many great players.


Can you imagine the citizens of Detroit putting together their own soccer team and making it to the World Cup final game!?

I'm rooting for Croatia. Never been a huge fan of France. Perfect timing, we have some rain moving through whi0ch should pass within the next few hours, so I can watch instead of mowing.
