Fuck, Japan is fine too. Basically just want to see England and Brazil go out and anything else is fine by me

Yeah I have many Croatian friends so they can win.

Brazil must go out, viva Mexico. England? LoL!

Uruguay will win it. They have the DNA

Spain completed 1,005 meaningless passes and Russia rode its luck into the quarterfinals.

I wish I had a ticket option that said any match but a Spain match.

I don't care who Spain are playing, or what score they win by watching Spain will always be a chore.

I had more fun watching Russia clear the ball for a throw in for 120 minutes than watch Spain crowd the midfield with 1000 5 yard passes. They used to run into this problem at times even at their WC winning best, but back then David Villa was a genius and they'd bring Navas off the bench a lot to just run down the wing. Now they have no Navas and play almost exclusively to Costa's weaknesses.

I love when pass obsessed teams fall on their face. You can play 10000 passes if they aren't played with any goal or purpose in mind they're absolutely worthless.

Yup.. those two and Brazil are the ones with genuine quality to win it all from this stage.
