How many beers you've got?

What does Raphinha has on Tite? Easily their worst player in this WC yet a constant in starting eleven...

I don't know man, I'd wait on a more credible source than Daily Star before jumping to any conclusion...

What was the rule about using players that are signed by the club before we took over? I can't cancel the deals. I guess I can use them but just wanted to confirm with you guys...

Giroud doesn't have to outrun Maguire, he just have to pull him out of position (easy enough to do) to allow Dembele free entry and one on one v Pickford. And for all the talk about Walker containing Mbappe... I'm not sure he can do that in his current state. He had a lot of trouble with that Senegalese striker whose name escapes me right now... Mbappe will be the same, just dialed up to 11. (Edit: pretty much what Gunman said) We'll see. I might be proven wrong. I have no horse in that race so here's hoping for a good game. Fun one, fitting the occasion.

Rather bold statement by someone who has a walking calamity in the middle of their own defense.

Bit on the edge on Argentina - Netherlands. Messi and pals were unimpressive in first two games but they've improved since then. They control the ball and the flow really well. On other side, few decent players and a mad genius on Oranje's bench. Said it before, I refuse to underestimate the mad bastard. He's unpredictable, could lead them all the way. Argentina will be their greatest test to date in Qatar. Portugal and Brazil should, should make quick work of Croatia and Morocco. Both sides seems spent, mentally and physically exhausted while the favorites has had their rest. I don't expect any surprises there.

We would've beaten this Portugal side, as we did in the qualifiers Everyone's gonna score, but Ronaldo. Love it.

Seferovic on, Switzerland officially given up...

This one is totally gonna be copy/paste from the previous game.

Any other foreign Qatari sellout take a pics with his own NT folks, you guys couldn't grab those pitchforks fast enough...

Now you're just being silly...

Decided to have a go at this again. Failed a dozen of times already but this time I might persevere just a bit longer, as I'm playing along with two mates. All of us, playing our own youth saves, with this one team. Possibly the best option for this challenge in Serbia (well, aside from Zemun, perhaps, IMO they are tiny bit better). Here we go!

Maguire won't be facing Dembele, he'll be pulled way out of position by Giroud

FFS, you've played Cymru, Senegal without almost half starting eleven (and their one world class player) and USA with Pulisic. You've faced attacking force that's barely lower half PL level. Mbappe, Griezmann and Dembele will rip you apart

So it's not even a beer... What a robbery.

You've got Maguire, nuff said

You can get a case of beers here for one round in Qatar

It's genuinely hilarious, old man Modric's gonna drop dead on the pitch

This is dire... Both sides resigned for extra time

I need a complete comeback. For betting purposes. Don't let me down, Croatia!!

Sosa is better IMO, no idea why he isn't playing.

I don't know, it seems like they're using Maeda to tire opposition in the first half before unleashing Mitoma and Ito after the break. But Dalic seems to let them have the ball, like they did v Costa Rica, not exposing or allowing any space for Japanese attackers to run into.
