    Quarters and Semis are going to be interesting.

    Looking forward to France / England

    Kind of wish it was a 2 game situation in the World Cup at some point

    2 games; Win > Aggregate goals

    I reckon France v England will be the best game of the World Cup. England has a great attack, the highest scoring English team of any World Cup. France has the best player in the world Kylian Mbappe, and England only has the badly out of form Kyle Walker to try to stop him. Mbappe will be the difference, France to win. I still think Brazil will win it all though.

    UNC was up on UCLA 2-0 with 9 minutes left and LOST!!!!!!

    How good are Morocco at PK's? Looks like that's what it may come down to.

    PK’s are such a crap shoot, it’s hard to say. I hate when it comes down to penalties

    When the first Spanish guy hit the bar and didn't even put it on goal I figured they were in trouble. Always fun to watch Pk"s, but so much stress on the goalies.

    ugh more PKs.

    I hate the idea of these hard fought games being decided on penalties.
