Damn, it's so easy for England and France. I think it's a bit unfair that in the 1st half referee didn't called end of it and let England to make attack when time was already over and Kane scored then. With 1:0 at halftime it could be much more interesting game. Now 2nd half reminded some meaningless friendly game, rather than World Cup 1/8 final.
So far, the playoff games are going in the boring manner that I expected. There are very few even games, and tomorrow we are also unlikely to see them.
Yeah, so far there was no chance to see any upset. Underdogs wins is fun thing, but on the other hand now we will have TOP games in 1/4 finals like Argentina - Netherlands or France - England. Tomorrow I don't expect to see drama in South Korea - Brazil game, but Japan - Croatia should be interesting.
I'm highly anticipating the quarter finals fixture to be very honest, I really can't rule out England after what I saw tonight and the encounter vs France would definitely be a one to anticipate, Mbappe has been on fire, but it's going to be a different level of task in a faceoff versus Kyle Walker who has been impressive.
I really think I might even back England to advance in that fixture, and it will all be a battle to be won in the midfield which England also have a luxury of right now. It seemed more like a walk in the park for England after they've found their rhythm after the first goal, and from there it was just a matter of time.
