    All these commentary I get here is rubbish. Remember how I thought England if by finishing 2nd avoid France or Argentina? Yep I got that from commentary.
    And I got another gem that nearly flummoxed me.
    The commentator said that the last 8 winners, yes Last 8 winners all won their 3 group games. I swallowed that up until I got thinking today and realised that Spain lost to Switzerland in 2010 before going on a winning spree.

    Don't these buggers check their facts? I'd rather to my friend who suffers from schizophrenia. He's been like that lucky octopus. Most of his predictions have been on the mark.
    He's only got 1 last 16 wrong. Correctly predicted Uruguay and Belgium yesterday.
    Today he's chosen England and Croatia.

    Although I still think it's gonna be a draw and penalties in our game today.

    Well, they have avoided France (at least until a possible final), by finishing 2nd in group. So what you on about Winston?

    Bizarrely I listened to the gane on my phone using the BBC iPlayer radio whizzing through southern France and northern Spain, in fact the first goal went in as I crossed the border. BAD news is I’ll be doing the same trip in reverse next Sunday....

    Neymar is an overrated show pony. The commentators salivate whenever he gets the ball but I've seen nothing in this world cup or previously to suggest he is one of the world's greats. As Cavani said when Neymar was at Barcelona if you are going to be the best player in the world you need to be the best player at your club first and he isn't, at club or international level.

    Agree 100%...in the running for an Oscar though.

    If that first goal going in as you cross the border back into France is by England you will be thanked for your great sacrifice Andy. If our opponents are France then it will be even better AND you will have an open road ahead of you............. double joy.
