Smart football from Colombia

[canefan]

Columbia England will be interesting. The Poms didn't look comfortable vs Nigeria, just too physical. Columbia are not as physical, and left themselves open defensively enough times in the second half for a quality opposition to score

[canefan]

The Sky analysts just said the Jamaican team was not supported by their national football federation. They crowd funded their campaign, which is crazy

France v Morocco next

Replay of men's 2022 SF

[canefan]

On paper France should do this easily. But so many games have been unpredictable in this tourney

[canefan]

France open the scoring after tearing the Moroccan defence apart, their striker gets an unmarked header in the 16 yard box. I thought they were settling a bit, but that was a bad lapse

[MiketheSnow]

Looking ominous

[canefan]

France in again. Morocco not dealing with the French intensity, they can't maintain possession. That second goal was a corker, this could get very messy

[NTA]

Wow Morocco. That was shit

[MiketheSnow]

Rout on the cards

France are on a totally different level. The game is over after 24 minutes

[canefan]

The French girls aren't there to fuck spiders. Trying to pile on the goals right now

Every game is different of course. But France isn't Denmark. Their skill and pace tonight is as good as I've seen so far in the tourney

[MiketheSnow]

Well this is over as a contest, so

8 from 8 in the round of 16 predictions (wish I'd put money on now)

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Ouch

[MiketheSnow]

Spain could have been home & hosed if they’d put their chances away / but for offside

0-0
Halftime

My aging greyhound (13 1/2) has the shits so just been out with him, hence why I’m up at this ungodly hour

[Bovidae]

The Netherlands defence look slow. Just a matter of time I think.

[MiketheSnow]

Long time coming but Spain take the lead from the penalty spot (handball)

Spain 1-0 Netherlands
81 mins
