MRF WorldCup18 TopTips
ARGENTINA were shocking against Croatia and it's amazing how poor the big guns have been in this tournament.
I didn't fancy them to go well as they can't get the best out of Lionel Messi but I reckoned France would be good.
How wrong I was – they were again lucky to win and there was no goal for Antoine Griezmann so the Super Single was downed.
I did though tip Christian Eriksen to score for Denmark in the other game and it was a cracker although they couldn't hang on to beat the battling Aussies.
On Friday let's hope for better from Brazil as they tackle Costa Rica. I don't expect much from Serbia v Switzerland while the other game is Nigeria v Iceland and the Icemen can win to just about eliminate Argentina.
I've posted a preview of all three games and there are separate previews from some of the site contributors so check them out.
My Daily Double is under 2.5 goals at Serbia v Switzerland and Iceland draw no bet against Nigeria.

    Mr f, John b, would you be surprised if Russian footballers were caught doping? I certainly would not, with their track record of state sponsored doping across all sports.
    Sepp Blatter has recently publicly stated he has no involvement in footballing or political matters, which I find hard to believe, after he recently had dinner with ex Russian sports minister Vitalty Mutko, now President of the Russian football union.
    I wonder what way that conversation went.

    I second that cocker. I was wondering how long it would take before the interminable anti Russian rhetoric of the western media would cast its jaundiced eye over Russian success.

      I for one hope they dont win it!! I would much prefer England to win. In fact, it would be like a whole load of Christmas’ and birthdays rolled into 1. Obviously it’s about as likely as Linford Christie becoming Pope but you’ve gotta live the dream.

      It ain’t the English – it’s just the English commentators.

    I am to get a mixed response to my view, but I think this world cup has been rubbish so far. 2 or 3 good games.

    32 teams is way too many and whilst you need to try to give a chance to lower ranked teams it rather ruins the spectacle.

    Can’t wait for it to increase to 48 teams. Not.

    • Avatar of steven welsby
      oneoff 6 years ago

      Yeah agree with that going to be shocking if they make it 48.
      Though Wales and Scotland will have a better chance to qualify ?

    Always hoping for and wondering why these isles never seem to have a chance of hosting another World Cup, hoping to see it happen in my lifetime as it would be spectacular given the massive support for the game over here, fantastic stadiums etc. Dont care if its a joint effort from the 4 nations or even just held in England but we never seem to be in with a shout for some reason.

      There’s talk of a joint bid for 2030 after the Mexico, Canada and USA bid won for 2026.
      Obviously most games would be in England and if only one nation is to qualify they should let it be Scotland.
      Either that or increase form 48 in 2026 to 64 – we might have a chance of making it then.

      Clash of the shite uns at the moment this cup. Can only really say Croatia have impressed me so far. Russia have done better than everyone expected but they’ve played no one.
      It’s wide open

    • Avatar of Alex Ewart
      alex_mufc83 6 years ago

      Yep. really thought after using the first group stage game as a ‘sounding board’ Brazil would’ve come out flying for this one, but nahhhh.

      Will probably take another wonder strike to break the deadlock.

      Croatia really play as a team, well drilled. I’ve actually been quite impressed with Russia, even though they’ve only played weaker opposition so far, they’ve created lots of chances against teams who have tried to sit back a bit and defend.

    • Avatar of Ian Hampson
      hampy 6 years ago

      Russia’s next game will show how competent they are. Uruguay a tough nut to crack. Am sure we’ll get 1 or 2 goals 2nd half in this game.
