We’ve gone from the Cup of surprises in the group stages to the Cup of predictable, dreary inevitabilities in the knockouts.

Odds are that we should get a couple upsets out of the next four matches. If not, we may sleepwalk through this.
yes. Watch Japan and Morocco qualify.:mad:

Oh what I'm mad at are those predictable results. Maybe a wrong use of the emoji, but it means I want Japan and Morocco to qualify so bad. :dule:
:D

I would love for both of them to qualify, but if anyone is going to cause an upset, it's probably going to be Japan.

I think Morocco will have a great game against Spain, but Spain will find another gear and that should see them through. I also don't mind Spain winning the entire thing after what Luis Enrique had to endure with the loss of his daughter.

I also don't mind Spain winning it. Gavi and Pedri are insane talents and are fun to watch, also I want Morty to score a hat trick or sth. But the grinta and discipline this Morocco team has showed in the tournament are incredible and I kinda like Ziyech and Hakimi.

Oh. I love Morocco. They're my favorite North African team, and I am saying this as an Egyptian mind you.

Gavi and Pedri will have plenty of time. They don't have to achieve it before they're both 20.

The most likely upset is Switzerland to eliminate Portugal. The Swiss have a very solid team which already eliminated France last summer from Euro 2020 and came so close to eliminating Spain. Looking at the age of their squad and main players, this should be their zenith. Imo that is a 50-50 match, but Portugal are considered strong favorites and for most it will be a huge surprise if Switzerland plays in the quarters.
Brazil and Spain will make it. I watched Morocco against Croatia and they were really bad. Too much emphasis on their win against a chaotic Belgium and amateurish Canada.
Japan/Croatia is 50-50, so no surprise whoever makes it. Whoever does, tho, will be a punching bag for Brazil in the quarters. I have a feeling about a Perisic goal today and someone to win in extra time.
