I’d sit him and Bruno out today, as they are in firm control of their group. They have a big enough cushion and have enough depth where they don’t need those 2 guys.

How soon people forget! I guess you don't remember the NFL "Runner Up Bowl" for third place:
When Third Place Meant Something in the NFL
Indeed
Lol. I would have carded the entire team if I were the referee at that point. Bunch of babies.

yeah that was ugly
The first place team for Group G is most likely to be Brazil.

Embolo equalizer was huge - 2nd half will be intense
that was a beautiful swan dive, nice form but late in the entry

Card the entire Serbian bench.

Cameroon scores! 1-0 , BRA and SUI advance!
Allez la Suisse!
Switzerland finishes in 2nd in Group G (6 points); Brazil finishes 1st in Group G (also 6 points despite losing to Cameroon today).
Brazil moves on to play South Korea in the round of 16, while Switzerland plays Portugal.
Not to me. I still think France wins it, but I wouldn't be surprised by a darkhorse champion.

The Final 4 IMO will be Argentina and Brazil on one side of the bracket, and then Spain and France on the other.

Congrats! SUI won a true slugfest

Got what they deserved. My Swiss outplayed them fair and square.

My parents lived there before coming here and I was born there before my folks moved to Queens during the Summer of Sam. My mom never wanted to leave. There's an alternate universe where I'm working as a banker and smuggling funds for some of you, lol.
Blame my dad, lol. She never wanted any of this and wound up working for NYPD, lol. The Swiss team used to not be diverse, but they are now.

Wait, what? That is your universe--I know where you live!
Think your semi-finals projection is as good as any, tough to project dark horse to get by France or Spain, Senegal or Portugal. Japan - CRO will be an interesting match.
I've got Argentina & Brazil in one semifinal and France and Spain in another. I've got Argentina beating defending champs France in the Final (Brazil wins the pointless 3rd place match, lol).
Messi still has a VERY realistic chance to walk away a World Cup champion. In my scenario/set of prediction, I really think that the winner of the Argentina vs. Brasil semifinal wins the WC.

Not a bad final four, though I think there are more surprises to come.
Not to mention Benzema, merely the reigning Ballon d'Or holder. When he's rolling, it seems like he can't miss.
I do think Morocco and Switzerland are lively underdogs.

not having Pogba and Kanté are huge losses.

They’re playing better than they were at the Euro with Pogba, Kante, and Benzema out. Their losses were a blessing for them.

Agree about POR potentially playing better without CR7, but when he’s on the pitch with Bruno Fernandes, they find ways to get the ball in the net.
Back to non-simultaneous games being on again with two tomorrow as we enter the Knockout Stage of the World Cup. Go USA over Holland (don't think it'll happen, but stranger things have happened)! The Sengal-England game tomorrow will be very interesting to watch. I'm calling an upset right now there with the Senegalese pulling through.

I agree. France the first two games looked just fine.
