one shock from the round of 16

s korea.

Morocco

U! S! A!

Aussies.

Japan will be a shock as well according to the bookies but personally think they should be favourites for that one.

Australia are a value pick. Would not be surprised to see USA progress, but they're not particularly good value so as to represent a "shock".

Considered Japan but would not call it a "shock" at 3s. Japan were also exceptionally lucky to progress on balance of play (and no, I am not referring to the fine margins of the ball being out of play). Croatia may just play/control them out of the game.

Jordan henderson actually playing in a World Cup

Senegal, Swiss, Morocco, there's going to be a shock ....

Morrocco be in the quarters at least…

Will be stunned if Morocco progress. Let's see ..

Nobody would be more stunned than me if we progress. Argentina are under more self-sustained pressure and they don't handle it well, we've got nothing to lose, but they're just in a different class to us football wise. Mon Aussie.

Switzerland not a bad pick.

Wasn't a terrible shout .. Holland were v comfortable for first hour but US could easily have drawn level before the 3rd .. one bad through ball and lack of composure in front of the keeper culpable

You clearly know nothing about the Dutch nation if you refer to 'Holland'.

They don't like it....

Yes. That's my point. You dim £#%&!.

Holland weren't comfortable, as that is a region within the Netherlands. The Netherlands however, were fairly comfortable IMO.

Done yourself there pal

Lacking a decent looking fixture this round. Japan vs Croatia arguably the most interesting game.

How? I wrote 'Holland weren't comfortable' because Holland weren't playing.

Saying 'Holland were comfortable' is like saying 'Yorkshire were comfortable' when England play.

You can't be this thick.....
