Quarterfinal Thoughts....

Uruguay vs France - Torrreira might prove more destructive to the French midfield than Mbappe against the Uruguayan defence imo Cavani will be huge loss to Uruguay if he isn’t fully fit.

Brazil vs Belgium - I don’t see this as a shoot out but more as another cosy 2nil win for Brazil. They are light years ahead of KDB et al

Croatia vs Russia - We’re into the championship rounds now (UFC speak) so it’s time for Putin to reveal his master plan imo there’s no way Croatia walk out of Moscow as winners. No way.

England vs Sweden - I’ll keep this simple...nil-nil with England on penalties...expect a long and tortuous game of trench warfare as England pick up injuries and suspensions to leave them exposed for a semi final showdown vs Russia.

The final shot of the night will be Putin looking at the sun rise like Thanos in Infinity War imo

The Ref and VAR team for Croatia/Russia will have been visited and informed that anything other than a Russian victory will result in kiddy porn being 'found' on their personal phones and computers. This will be actioned by Putin's friends at Kaspersky.

Only an idiot would try to predict the outcome in these games after what we've seen happen so far Tone...

France v Belgium & Croatia v Sweden

You can wait until I lose my monies before you mugg me off you know!

Actually not sure if I’m having a bet with the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown tomorrow...Saxon Warrior vs Roaring Lion vs Masar.....will be a scorcher if a race.

muggy-bonehead know-nuffins. I expected Putin to at least engineer a terrorist attack on the stadium to get the shootout abandoned when they went down.

Still, let's see what gets detected in the Croation blood samples now.

Thankfully I stuck to the racing.

Herbs, I had always assumed you were not quite as you portrayed yourself, but I hadn't suspected you were actually Boris Johnson.

Welcome, after all these years, to AWIMB, Mr Foreign Secretary.
