Agree completely, KDB needs to show something he never has and that is to run the midfield rather than be the guy making the final pass.
Belgium were a great team but have no legs at the back and their forwards are past their best.
The reputations of the likes of Onana and Tielmans have taken a fair dun’t, theyvebeen passengers.
In terms of the real stuff, not the auxiliary forward shit, between Modric and KDB, there is only one winner.
I thought Onana was their only player that showed anything the last day, but he’s suspended now.
Which means we could be looking at Witsel & KDB in a midfield 2, Carrasco & Trossard flanking Mertens.
Croatia looked very slick the last day and still have a decent front 3 aswell.
Theyve hit the wall based on performances so far. This is about their 5th or 6th tournament together, they look done.
I liked onana as well. Looks like an absolute beast but can cover some ground and lookrd to have a pass too.
Lads teams that blow up often go out bad tempered. KdB is a good man for a dirty tackle on occasions. Carrasco plays for athletico. Brozovic is a fouling machine.
KDb and carrasco are 5/1 each to be carded. Brozovic only 23/10.
Did doubles and the treble.
Any chance spain roll over for Japan later? It would eliminate Germany and mean they play Morocco rather than Croatia next round
They should do it then
No
Anyone know who takes penos for Germany? Gundo?
Think he scored one against Japan in the first game
Correct
Thank God I didn’t take your advice ! Have a chance now at least
Great call
Nicely done. It’s a mugs game lads. Deny it all ye like.
I nearly set up a betting account last week. I haven’t done a bet in about 16/17 years and at that, it was usually 1 or 2 a year. The “free bet” offers can easily lure lads in I reckon and I was thinking of putting a few WC bets on. After years of saying not a hope.
In saying that, I did throw a tenner in for the World Cup buster at work (I got France)
They just reel lads in. It’s very very grim.
Tonight’s match
18/1 a player sent off and a penalty scored
Feel Japan Croatia could be as cagey as it gets. Nil all at 13/2.
Also did the draw and ovver 1.5 cards for each team and a modric foul anytime @ 10/1
Japan a great price today. 14/5. Croatia looked shagged in their last game
