Those two games on simultaneously were fascinating to watch. We had both games on and the final 20 minutes were insane. Especially because one of my colleagues is Iranian and he was loudly cheering them on and I was really hoping on his behalf that they would get through. Towards the end it really looked like they could.
Omg
Ice cold

I didn't think my Argentina bet would last longer than Germany.
England v Belgium about to kick off.
The only game in the tournament where the loser rather than the winner will dramatically improve their odds of getting far through the tournament. The losers draw is a lot easier than the winners draw. Having said that though, we should still seek to win (but play reserves rather than main players).
Both sides starting with their reserves essentially:
England 8 changes from last time.
Belgium 9 changes from last time.
If its a draw yellow cards will decide the group. England currently have 1 fewer yellow card so are top as it stands.
I missed this match, sounds like it was a good one.
Also thanks to last Thursday's results I am now leading the world cup pool at work
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
I got inside a sports bar just in time to watch the extra time. Thanks Belgium.
Hope is the denial of reality
