Right, I've worked the World Cup out.

Quarter Finals:

Portugal vs. France

Brazil vs. Belgium

Spain vs. Argentina

Germany vs. England 

If anything spoils that, I hate them.

Brazil to knock France out in the sekus, while Spain beat Germany and then out-Brazil Brazil.

In actual news, on Saturday 16th June there are matches at 11am, 2pm, 5pm and 8pm. I'll be on the sofa if anyone wants me.

1978 2nd Round Group A: West Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands. both the GDR and Austria border 2 countries in the same group.

Probably happened a lot of other times too when the tournament was more Euro-centric.

I would hazard a guess that the USSR/Russia, with all the borders it has with so many countries, must have a pretty good shot at that too.

EDIT: Wow, turns out it didn't. Nearest they got was sharing a group with North Korea in '66, Hungary in '86, and Romania in '90.

Same quarters line-up as you @tiger_rick but Croatia instead of Argentina- as next summer's dark horse (France to eliminate the dismal Argentina in the second round).

Totally stuck on the France/Brazil semi- gonna opt for Brazil for now, to then beat Germany in the final. France to beat Croatia in the semis.

Neymar to win the balon d'or as a result of this being HIS tournament. Leon Goretzka young player of the tournament. Giroud golden boot :love:

Thats up there with the best games I've seen in ages. Just stunning all round.

Utd's goals were brilliant. Lingard gets a lot of flack but he's really stepped up last 2 games.

De Gea though. When you consider De Gea doesn't have Pallister Bruce Neville Irwin Stam Johnsen Berg May in front of him.. Considering we are not miles ahead of everyone else.. I think De Gea could arguably be seen as being better than Schemeichel.

Next week's derby could have been a cracker, but that red card for Pogba has fucked it. He's been far and away our best player and with him out I just don't see us being able to have a proper go at City. 

Quite a frantic game from what I was able to see of it this evening. So pleased for Messi Lingard though, I love seeing him do well for himself.
