Russia and Uruguay are moving on. Their game next Monday will determine who’s the going as 1 the seed and the 2 seed into the knock out round. If they tie Russia will be the 1 seed based on goal differential. Group B Morocco is eliminated. Iran still has a chance to move on even with a loss today, although I think it’s highly unlikely that they will get by both Spain and Portugal.

Tomorrow the fates of Australia (plays Denmark) and Peru (plays France) may be decide. A loss and for either side and they are eliminated. But the main attraction tomorrow will be that Argentina vs Croatia game. That game should be good, and will pretty much decide that group. An Argentina loss will make the final game of group play (for group D) pretty dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peru is eliminated. Group D Croatia is on to the phase, and Argentina is in a tough spot. An Iceland win tomorrow would mean Argentina would need to win (vs Nigeria) and Iceland would have to lose, and the goal differential would have to favor Argentina. They’re at -3 right now, so that maybe a bit of a stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wasn’t impressed by the way Brazil played at the beginning of the game. Seems like the bench players were more fluid than the starters. Willian played like crap and Paulinho faded too often. Diego Costa and Roberto Firmino should start. Lastly, they need to talk to, or bench Neymar. I’m pretty sick of him and his acting. He plays like he’s made of paper and complaining too much.

All the talent in the world, but instead of balling he is more worried about drawing a foul. They can't stop you, go do your thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the skills and should be using them at as close to max level as possible. This is the World Cup any great players never make it or only see 1. If you’re blessed to be from a country that has a decent team you may see 2, perhaps 3. Neymar should be cherishing the moments and trying to shine. Also, everyone knows he wants to go to Real Madrid, and if he looks like a primaddona he may not get that max contract he’s hoping for. I would think that would be incentive enough to be on your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to see him as a floppy poppy type. Right now he is looking like, "I'm better than your team and whatever defense you can dream up. Watch out as I score."
