Tuesday: France vs Spain
Wednesday: England vs ?????

Two interesting stats for France:
France have won as many games in New Jersey as the New York Jets last season.
France have more wins in Foxboro this summer than the Jets have had since 2011.

Don't cry for Argentina...

After VAR review, yellow on Argentina reversed, simulation on Breel Embolo, 2nd yellow. SUI down to 10 men.

Once again, all square going to the 4th quarter.

Alvarez 112'

Somewhere the Egypt coach just nods quietly..

 

[Jimjamesak]

Well that's one way to take the lead.

So after all the wackiness, all the Cinderella stories, the expansion to 48 teams....

The final four teams will be the top four teams....

If anything it seems like expansion would help this happen. Adds another knockout game for randomness, but group play gets diluted and now including a third place team makes it even more likely the top teams won't get grouped.
