saudi arabia got destroyed

wont watch any games as its exam season for me, but since canada isnt there im cheering for iceland even though i doubt theyll get past round 1

[Cedur]

oh I'm gonna guess Iceland will make it. I expect Croatia to perform as badly as in the recent tournaments (they just don't seem to make a proper team)

in that sense, HUH

[ElectriKong]

England will probably do shit like they have done in the recent World cups.

[Cedur]

Germany defeated, this is what I think about it.

1) KO round now already starts with the 2nd group game, we could be this time's laughingstocks that Spain, Italy and England were last time.
2) even if that works, it's most likely round of 16 against Brazil, congrats.
3) Germany earlier still placed well after losing preliminary games. Down but not out yet.
4) Germany also could have gotten 5 goals like Spain
5) Germany also had bad bad luck in the final offensive; Ochoa is a fucking Cerberus (Kroos' free kick)
6) France would also have maybe lost against Mexico with their yesterday's performance
7) Italy is not even here so look at how they're feeling
8) Germany has enthralled for almost eight years with their "children's football", now the world has learnt how to deal with it, same that happened with Spain's "tiqui-taqua" before.
9) ousting Sané is a horrible blunder, he has the speed that Germany is missing so much.
10) I'm consoling myself with the 7:1.

Croatia won 3-0 against Argentina, thus also succeeded at advancing further on.
This was an even bigger surprise than Germany v. Mexico ending up 0-1.

[Cedur]

rip Argentina

not only is their defense showing to be wonky

but I'm especially surprised that their highly praised offense is tame af

[Thehelmetguy1]

Hahaha!
Defeat never felt so good

[ShadowStarX]

Semi-final 1 is gonna be France vs. Belgium on Tuesday.

Semi-final 2 shall have been decided by today midnight.
Croatia vs. Russia
Sweden vs. England

[Cedur]

<ShadowStarX> 10:59 AM who are you rooting for today
Croatia and England here
<Cedur> 10:59 AM same
<ShadowStarX> 11:00 Sweden relies a bit too much on brute force and Russia was quite lucky against Spain
plus I like those two teams anyway
they are just not so amazing at handling pressure
<Cedur> 11:01 I'd say England has a 40% chance at final and Croatia has 30% chance
but France vs Belgium is most likely an anticipated endgame anyway
I'd say Belgium is best balanced
<ShadowStarX> 11:02 France v Belgium will def. be interesting
also I've done some research
and the last time when the final match was a rematch of a group stage one was in 1962
haven't really paid attention to bronze matches though
so if England and Belgium both get to the final
that'd be a rematch
<Cedur> 11:05 lol indeed (the tournament bracket only allows a rematch in the final)
<ShadowStarX> 11:05 or the bronze match
if they both lose

[ShadowStarX]

And the semi-finals have been decided.

Tuesday, 7 PM BST - France vs. Belgium

Wednesday, 7 PM BST - Croatia vs. England

[FireyPaperMario]

My personal prediction is that England or France or both are gonna make it to the finals. Might be wrong...

[TheNewGuy]

Well
France Won it's place in the finals.
Personally, I don't have a favorite between croatia and england

[FireyPaperMario]

France Won it's place in the finals.

Oh nice, guess I was kinda right! ^^"

[TheNewGuy]

Croatia wins!
Looks like england's coming home
So croatia vs. France on sunday

My goodness. 13th of Friday is the worst day for everyone could have.
I mean don't get me wrong about superstitions.

and also I drew this today:


yeah, I got freaked out about Friday the 13th.

Spoiler: show

and also I drew a color version


and an MLP styled colors

Question: do you believe superstition?

let me know.

[FireyPaperMario]

My goodness. 13th of Friday is the worst day for everyone could have.

Dude please, Friday the 13th isn't considered the worst day for everybody! In fact, some people have better luck on 13th of Friday!

Perfect Example:*




*I often die once or twice against this boss in Wario World, but on this "Friday the 13th", I got lucky!

[Cedur]

Friday 13th exists if and only if the month starts with a Sunday

call it "month-starts-with-sunday-phobia"

[Cedur]

if you're superstitious it's your own fault. Pls don't be.

tbh all the fuss about friday the 13th being unlucky is straight up bullshit
