Who are you rooting for to win it all out of the remaining teams?






Penalties, man. Always tense.

I would be delighted if anyone above England won, happy for them if England won but happier if they went out in the funniest way possible, fine with Portugal winning if Ronaldo isn't on the pitch for it, and annoyed if France won again.

I was really hoping for Netherlands-Morocco once my money pool got destroyed by Brazil and Spain going out after a poor group stage. I can't really order them, I'll just yay/nay them.

Yay:
England

France

Nay:
Argentina

No worries, rankings for ties or groups get averaged out (so the three yays get 2 each, the nays get 5 each)

Average ranking to date through 13 users (ctesjbuvf, DoctorBlind, jcgamer107, MartinFF7, paulg235, pezzicle, Pokewars, red_sox_777, Shattered, Sheep007, XIII_Rocks, ZaziGuado, ZeldaTPLink)

2.35 England
2.46 Morocco
2.85 Argentina
3.62 Croatia
4.65 France
5.08 Portugal

Fun fact, no one of the thirteen users to date has the six teams in this order, closest is 4/6 with my rankings (1 through 4 matching) and XIII_Rocks (1, 4, 5, 6)

-Count of first places (excl Zazi) are England 7, Argentina 3, France and Morocco 1; not comparable with the poll results to date...!
-Count of last places (excl Zazi and ctes) are France 5, Portugal 4, Argentina 2; enough support for France elsewhere to make it not be the worst overall average, I guess
-Portugal the only team with no #1 or #2 rankings

The people have spoken, we need England/Morocco semis with the winner facing Argentina in the finals

He's shown up on so many football related podcasts and his work when football was a niche sport in America was good. This is tragic, I hope there was no foul play involved.

Today is a good day to sort out bad sports media outlets or reporters from your feeds, basically removing any that says Argentina showed lack of class by mocking the dutch after winning upon that fight of a match, in which it was most of the dutch players that kept crossing the mid line to mock any Argentine player walking back or forward from shooting.

In other words, I know today will be all about England and France but I am pretty hyped to see the first match as well.

Like Martinez did? Both the Argentinians and the Dutch were classless, but I definitely feel the Argentines were more classless.

request: can someone other than paulg make the next topic? he's blocked me, which means i'm unable to post in this topic with my main. would be nice if this topic series would follow the same protocol as the politics topic (i.e. you can't make the topic if you have users blocked).

on topic, i definitely feel like both teams were classless. which is one of the reasons i didn't like this match that much (seems like i'm in the minority on that, though).

Try finding the clips from the top cam of the players in the penalty shootout. Almost every dutch player walks in.

Oh yeah both teams were classless indeed, but highlighting one of them is ridiculous bias from the perspective of having no idea what any players said. It's sort of a domino effect so it'll come down to "who started" arguments. The dutch probably did that, they tries to provoke Argentina as part of getting back, then Argentina stupidly allowed themselves to be provoked and from there neither had much class. The dutch absolutely does the same thing if they win.

Heading into tonight

Southgate keeping the squad essentially controversy free and calm has me thinking they can pull off the upset.

The Ben White thing is pretty minor.
If Southgate pulls off the win then he's essentially England's greatest manager since they won the World Cup.
And it's not like he hasn't had to deal with pressure during his tenure.

2.65 Argentina
2.68 England
2.82 Morocco
3.53 Croatia
4.50 France
4.82 Portugal

Argentina moves into the lead and as luck would have it, Axl_Rose_85's rankings perfectly match the average ranking order. (XIII_Rocks still has 4/6 but this time with top two places swapped)

No, because then he will score the equaliser - so when they win the world cup in spite of him (because that is what it will be at this point), he can still point to this game as him "winning it for them on his own".
