    France are a bit good aren't they 
    They certainly look good against the opposition they’ve played.

    Thought they struggled first half against Senegal though. 
    Agreed. Senegal arguably the only half decent team they’ve played and it was quite close.

    Norway’s side without all their superstars caused them defensive issues too.

    I think it’s fair to say that France are by far the best attacking team in this tournament. Whether they are going all the way depends on how that defence holds up against a decent attack.
    Madueke and Gordon will have them on toast.

    No worries about Mexico at all. That will be Congo's problem (18/1 to win on penalties today btw).

    I’m really nervous about this game but we just gotta get through it. Early goal for us will be a god send.

    Big Dan Burn with the coup de grace 5 minutes from time

    A much shorter turnaround to the next game. Mexico have the big advantage of having a longer gap AND not having to travel
    I don't think the 14 hours difference between their game and ours will matter that much, neither will the travel as we're based in Kansas and flying to all our games anyway so the players will be used to it.

    I'm far more worried about the altitude and 85k Mexicans.
    We're playing in Atlanta today, then will have to fly back to Kansas. We will then have to fly to Mexico City on Sunday (a long flight) for the R16 game.

    Mexico played all their group games at home, the 1st and 3rd group games in Mexico City, the R32 game there, and the R16 there as well. Apart from the altitude, heat and home support, the lack of travel has to be an advantage too.

    If we get through, that's going to be a tough game.

    plus their fans chant outside the oppositions hotel the night before the game. Couple thousand of them did that outside where the Ecuadorian team were as they tried to get some kip

    We're playing them on Sunday so i assume we will fly Friday or Saturday. It's about 3 hours isn't it? Probably no longer than most of them are used to when they fly to midweek European games.

    Heat won't be issue. For their game this morning it was about 18 degrees and pissing down. Forecast is pretty similar for Sunday.

    Well done Dr Congo, others would call you naive for not engaging in shithousery and being arseholes from the minute you scored but you kept on playing and made a game of it. 
    I take my hat off and offer you condolences and the best of luck in your next tournament…

    Senegal would’ve been a tough R32 for us. Good side.

    All over Belgium and that isn’t particularly surprising.

    Terrible defending though, why is the Belgian number 4 so much deeper than the rest of the line?

    Don't understand why he isn't being linked to a bigger club, he has pace and versatility and would thrive with better okayers around him

    Liverpool would be better off going for him than Diomande

    Can’t decide if Senegal are good or Belgium are awful. Think it’s somewhere in between.

    Dunno why but Trossard has such an annoying look to him.
