First

Brazil - Can't see them not progressing against a tired Croatia side
Netherlands - Haven't seen enough from Argentina to suggest they can outscore the Dutch
Portugal - Won't make the same mistakes as their Iberian neighbours
England - This will be a very close match but do France have the front line to breach Englands defence more than England will breach theirs? Very similar to Netherlands v Argentina in that you could see both being able to progress but its going to be who performs best on the day. Cliches aside, It my belief that England have the better depth of squad so can make better changes later on in the game. France B's couldn't beat Tunisia.

Hoping for Morocco vs Croatia in the final, just for the lоls

The World Cup starts here.

Everything up to now has been pure foreplay. The Spanish are still pleasuring their admirers...and themselves...

It is an outrage that there is no WC football on telly until Friday. Poor organisation

Brazil v France final.

Brazil v Argentina
France v Portugal

That would be the best semi-final line-up in decades.

So, Croatia v Holland and England v Morocco it is, then!

To be fair, 2014 was stellar. As was 2006. And 1990. But yes, that would be a wonderfully exciting last four and much more intriguing than 2018 or, say, 2002.

Time to fire up the patio furniture.

Still room for 1 or more surprises but I think the only game in the Q/F I have as 50/50 is Eng v France

As an Irishman with no dog in this race, I find myself becoming that little bit more French as we approach the weekend. A certain je ne sais quoi seems to have taken hold.

Touche but I'm siding with the English for family reasons.

Hope this isn't anything too serious (and that whatever it is doesn't spread)
