Good luck.
Please be a better game than the last....the weathers too good to be sitting indoors being bored.

[Bullitt]

First 4 mins has been better than the last games two hours.

[Batman1980]

Don't cry 4-3 Argentina.

[Ben_C]

Well...the first 4 minutes were good.

[Naiera]

Ruh-roh.

[Batman1980]

Back to back games being decided by pens, can't remember if casual fans like that or not.

[Naiera]

Ouch. My butt hurts.

[Nielsb90]

Just kill me alright

[Bullitt]

Shocking pens.
Some of them guys need a good kick in the balls.

[McCrutchy]

Ugh, Croatia barely deserved that. I hope Russia blows them away.

Yes. Yes they do. Horrible, horrible penalties. I knew Eriksen would miss that one.

Someone needs to make their mind up on what a break and a rest does to a player.

In the Premier League too many games in a short space of time ruins players but according to some of the pundits tonight in the WC,a break of seven days can be bad for you.

Absolute Bellends!!!

I can’t believe they get paid for talking such driffle.

Well considering it's a game where you have to go from prone to sprinting constantly, I can see how arguments can be made both ways for rest.

It all depends on whether England go through or crash out as to whether it's ultimately the best thing ever or an incredibly stupid decision.

Michael Owen's newspaper column today opted for the former, as whatever happens on Tuesday he knows from experience how this schedule can punish a player, especially if they're not fully fit to begin with. These tourneys usually take place in hot hot heat as well which can also have its own effects on the players who wouldn't normally be playing at this point in the year, never mind banging out three games in a week.

I'm torn on it, as it would've been great to keep up the momentum e.g. England played out a draw in their last group game at Euro 2016 and Wales won the group, England then crashed out to Iceland while Wales got to the semi's, but at the same time the draw has opened up deliciously IF we can beat Colombia. Big, big IF.

Then again, the likes of Belgium, Brasil and Uruguay still in there and I find it hard to believe that the winner won't come from those three.

You’re quoting Michael Owen....he talks more shit than most on TV,some of his comments are beyond moronic.
It’s one or the other....either a rest is good for you or it’s not.
I swear men nowadays are worse than kids.

Well then, if I've learnt one thing after today's matches - is thank goodness I'm not a betting man. Earlier today I reckoned both Spain and Denmark would have gone through.....and look at how that's turned out.

[Jr7936]

I should have bet, since I was 4 for 4 in my knockout round

Opinions, eh? Who'd have 'em?

I know but Michael Owens has no credibility.

Only ever bet what ya can afford to lose and you’ll end up a winner.
