Just watching that game tonight thinking that Harry Kane is a class apart from the rest of the team. Everything he does is so consistent including taking great penalties. He never seems to get ruffled or provoked either, great temperament (although I watched him get sent off whilst playing for Leyton Orient a few years back). So pleased for England to win the shootout, I've watched so many England shootout losses, though I'm used to watching my club side Huddersfield win them, Huddersfield have a shootout winning streak going back to the early 90's, England are renowned for losing them. This is a game I would have loved to watch live. I doubt we could get an appreciation of what was really going on between the players on television. Reply #541. Jul 03 18, 3:58 PM |

I like Uruguay, but I’m not too fond of Neymar, so I would be happy if Brazil’s next game is their last. Reply #542. Jul 03 18, 4:30 PM |

My top three matches so far (in order played, not of preference) 1 - Spain 3-3 Portugal 2 - Belgium 3-2 Japan 3 England 1-1 Colombia (4-3 on pens) And yes, I may be from England but it doesn't necessarily follow that I'm a fan of theirs. Reply #543. Jul 03 18, 4:43 PM |

Neymar it's a great player with 9 games score 6 goals and make 3 assistances in the WC. He it's a drama queen, and want to mischief, but I can't deny as a marvelous player. Reply #544. Jul 03 18, 4:44 PM |

But Coutinho and William are the best player in the 4 games overall and after them Neymar. Reply #545. Jul 03 18, 4:45 PM |

I see many games and Colombia vs England was really awful for 75 minutes. One shot of Target for both teams in the first half, the game was dramatic in the extra time after the Mina score. Colombia better in the first extra time and England better in the second extra. My top.... 1. Japan vs Belgium. The comeback history, the speed of Japan counter attacks. Belgium with luck in the first goal and elaboration and ccounters can win the game.2-3 2.Spain vs Portugal. Excellent game, with both teams seeking the goal. 3-3 3. Argentina vs France. Many changes in the score, France win, Argentina win, France score three goals and Argentina play hard to score the third. Electric game. 3-4 4. Japan vs Senegal. Speed vs strength. Order vs power. Great game, with many good plays.2-2 5. Colombia vs Senegal. Phisical game with intensity, all game was electric, to see up the chair. 1-0 6. Mexico vs Germany. Mexico play as a marvelous team, put all against the champion, with a very aggressive game, Germany shot nine times but Ochoa make the clean.1-0 7. Belgium vs Tunez Tunez play better as the score say but don't score many options. 5-2 Only the penalty shoutout beetwen Denmark and Croatia One side game but nice to see Russia vs Arabia. I don't expected nothing, I see as a 0-0 but cherishev and golovin has another plan.5-0 Croatia vs Argentina. Modric and rakitich eat the field.3-0 Belgium vs Panama. Lukaku and hazard show. 3-0 Polonia vs Colombia. Amazing game with James and Quintero playing in another level.0-3 Reply #546. Jul 03 18, 6:30 PM |

The worst games 1. Denmark vs France. Without any emotion, Denmark play to tie and France accept the deal. Boring. 2. Spain vs Russia. Spain try but they can't and Russia wait all game. Spain without imagination and a very grey game. 3. England vs Belgium. With 13 non-titular players isn't a surprise what this game was one very bad. 4. Denmark vs Croatia. First 4 minutes was a illusion, the game was a waste of time until the penalty 4 minutes before the end of extra time. Penalties shootout save to be worst. Colombia vs England was well played in the first 15 and the extra time..and 45 min/120 it's not so bad to put in the list. Reply #547. Jul 03 18, 7:00 PM |

Last Thursday in the final group game, both teams fielded weakened sides in what was a fairly tepid affair. Reply #549. Jul 04 18, 1:53 PM |

In that game both Belgium and England knew they had qualified for the next stage, no matter what the result of the game so there wasn't the same 'edge' to the game. Reply #550. Jul 04 18, 6:12 PM |

Thanks for the non snarky replies, I appreciate your civility, even though I did somehow miss that game. Looking forward to both of Friday's matches. Uruguay v France Brazil v Belgium Reply #553. Jul 05 18, 5:54 PM |

Pleased that France won since I was supporting them. Sad for Uruguay that one of their best strikers didn't play and the others never really made up for him. Reply #554. Jul 06 18, 10:03 AM |

France with tactical beat Uruguay, a good corner and a failure by Muslera in a game with little to remark apart of the two goals, good tactical and phisical effort to Uruguay and France. I expect a better game this afternoon Reply #555. Jul 06 18, 11:19 AM |

Kante was a premium player and maybe it's the best midfielder and fight to be the best player in the world cup. Reply #556. Jul 06 18, 11:20 AM |

Thought France the better team throughout..........first goal maybe as much off the head of the Uruguayan player as the French player credited with it..........but it flew into the net anyhow. Second goal, which killed off the game as far any doubt about result was concerned, shot hit well enough, but should have been a "routine save" by goalkeeper, who instead managed to "flap" at the ball and assist it into net........down to goalkeeper error IMO. However, thought France ran out well deserved winners. Reply #557. Jul 06 18, 11:41 AM |

France won against a very hard and compact team, was better what Uruguay and we'll deserved the qualification. Reply #558. Jul 06 18, 12:17 PM |

Brazil v Belgium Belgium jumps out to an early 1 - 0 lead. Both teams attacking Reply #559. Jul 06 18, 12:25 PM |

Belgium make a great first half, Brazil has a huge hole without Casemiro, Belgium midfielders put a lot of pressure against Fernandinho. De Bruin and Hazard make a party in the game today Reply #560. Jul 06 18, 12:26 PM |
