I’ve got Russia and Croatia. Spain hasn’t looked that sharp, barely better than Portugal. Russia will be jacked with this big game at home. I think the Ruskies continue with this underdog/dark horse streak we’re seeing. I’ve got Croatia winning the whole thing.
I could see home field being an advantage as well as spain not having one of their stronger teams, should be close. Croatia winning it all? That's a longshot, I have Uruguay, Brazil, France ahead of the croats. Isn't bill belichick croatian?
I see Sweden, England,Spain and Croatia as a toss up to go to the finals. If I have to pick, between Sweden and Croatia.
It's fine and easy to pick winners when you only have 16 left. The real challenge is picking the date on which the Russian team gets busted for steroids. I'm sure FIFA doesn't care as much as the Olympics.
I have Russia in my $20 draw. Hoping they cheat and win it all or they cheat and get busted so they get a DQ and I get double my money back for coming in last place. Right now, I think Panama is the last place team, I could be wrong though.
If Ruskya KOs España here, that will kill most of my competitors' brackets (I think) and line me up for the jackpot.
That OG by Ignavesich to give Spain the early lead was devastating, but Russia seems to have regained control of the pace in this game so far. Russia has to stay composed or Spain will capitalize on their errors.
I think CTV is on basic cable. Most people don't think of it since they watch on TSN, normally. TSN 2 and 4 has NHL free agency.
