World Cup : Round of 16


BOF

Recommended Posts

The (over)confident British pundits seem to be evaluating Colombia based on their performance against Senegal. I didn't watch that game and have only seen Colombia against a poor Poland so **** knows.

This is going to be a close one. In spite of all the ‘football is coming home’, England haven’t had a real test yet. This isn’t like playing tunisia.

People love to write off non European teams  at first chance because 'who the **** is Quintero?'. If Colombia really show up, and Rodriguez is fit (is he starting?) England are going to have a really hard game. There's also the fact that South American teams give a shit, and they play like they give a shit. How often do you see a Mexico, Uruguay, Chile etc go home with 0 points playing terrible football? Never. European teams? Usually one per group

Had to explain to somebody yesterday that Mexico aren't the South American equivalent of Luxembourg

Its closest of all the ties, seen nothing to go with England hype. Tunisia were crap and would expect Micah and Gabby be stars in Panama

Colombia on other hand are hit and miss
