Brazil 2-2 Norway Mexico 1-1 England

My prediction has failed in the 90+ minute three days in a row 🤯

PETITION TO QUALIFY CAPE VERDE FOR THE ROUND OF 16 We, the undersigned, refuse to accept a World Cup Round of 16 without Cape Verde. No offense to Canada or the USA, but football needs chaos surprising and underdogs, and Cape Verde gave us all of that. Therefore, we demand: Immediate promotion of Cape Verde to the Round of 16. An extra knockout spot if necessary. A public apology to everyone who got emotionally attached after one match.

At this rate, offside is being decided by hairstyles and whoever jumps the highest. Yesterday it was Croatia's hair, tonight it's a Cape Verde player's head in mid-air. 💀 OMG GOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL!!! GOOOOOOOOOL!!! 🤣 My script from 5 minjtes before

Omggg go Cabo gooo!!

Capeeeee ❤️❤️❤️😍

Lets goooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rooting for Haaland ❤️❤️❤️

One day I predict a 1-1 draw for Croatia and Portugal, and Portugal scores in the 90+ minute to make it 2-1. The next day I predict a 1-2, and they get a chance but don’t score in the 90+ minute. 😭

thats worse than losing

Are we getting songs tonight? 🙈

Portugal’s record in the modern era at the World Cup is a 4th place finish in 2006, which is also their second-best result ever if you include the 3rd place from 1966. Meanwhile, Croatia is the only team besides France that finished in the top 3 in both 2018 and 2022. Yet Croatia is still often not regarded as highly as Portugal, even though Portugal is seen as a contender for winning the tournament despite not achieving anything significant at World Cups in recent times. Putting medals aside, they’ve also been playing poorly!

mistake

Honestly, I don't think Portugal can get past Spain. In my opinion, they're an overrated team whose reputation is based more on the market value of their players than on what they actually show on the pitch. As for refereeing, I think that in every 50-50 situation, officials tend to give the benefit of the doubt to the bigger teams with bigger names like Ronaldo or Messi. Argentina will almost certainly make the final because they have a relatively straightforward path. Portugal, based on everything they've shown so far, shouldn't. Croatia is a perfect example of how some teams get underestimated. They reached the World Cup final in 2018 and finished third in 2022, yet they were barely mentioned among the top five favorites. Even in the betting odds Mack has been posting here, I personally never saw Croatia anywhere near the top. That's what I call being underrated. As for this controversial decision, I highly doubt the goal would have been disallowed if the decision had gone against Portugal or Argentina. The referee didn't go to the VAR monitor to check whether the had croatian guy touched the ball with his head. He went to determine whether the Portuguese player had deliberately played the ball, and it was ruled that he hadn't. That's why only the slight contact with the player's hair was taken into account, resulting in an offside decision. If that's really the standard we're going to apply consistently, then half the penalties and fouls that have been given should also be overturned.

Mine is something like glamtronica 💅

Yes, the sensor in the ball is so sensitive that even hitting a mosquito would change the ball's direction

Croatia were better and the result could easily have been very different if it hadn't been for all those offsides. Really unfortunate. But that's football in the end, only the result matters, and you need a fair bit of luck as well. Had it gone to penalties, I honestly think Croatia would have won. They've been incredibly successful in penalty shootouts at the last two World Cups. As for the disallowed goal, I personally don't see any contact with the Croatian player's head, and the last touch seemed to come from a Portugal player, so that decision is a bit questionable to me. That said, Croatia has had its share of fortune in dramatic matches before, and this time things simply didn't go their way. Portugal just seems to be Croatia's bogey team. They simply don't suit them, and Croatia has never managed to beat them at a major tournament.

And somehow all the really interesting matches are always at 2 a.m for me, while the easy to predict ones are at 9 pm 😭

Yeah, just a game, everything can be corrected. We dont play for money.

So I should get here 2 + 2 + 2 = 6, last time I had 127p so I should have now 133p?
