Strictly for football supporters only - World Cup pick now England have departed?

Biker*Chick

So... now we've reached the knock-out stage let's look at which teams have made the last 16 :T:T:T

Brazil: mclarkie
Chile: compsalex, footballgirl07, thingamabob, Hippy110
Colombia: davidrpj1
Uruguay: (but not Suarez :rotfl:) HoneyBooBoo, Daza
France: ness, Blulu
Nigeria:
Germany: JessicAhh, hertzyabazas
Algeria:
Netherlands/Holland: Biker*Chick jacwins, Juzza12(?)
Mexico:
Costa Rica: CheCazzo, aurorablues
Greece: vanpopple's OH
Argentina: MaineBlue, sax11, vanpopple, compingclair
Switzerland:
Belgium:
USA:

Our resident 'losers' :eek: are:
BlueBella for supporting Portugal (bye bye Cristiano's pecs and *****! :rotfl:)
GivePizzaChants: ciao Italy (not so 'Bella' eh!)

Second chance for our 'losers' if you wish to pick another team in the final 16? USA, Switzerland or Belgium could be shock outside winners if you want a punt on one of those?! :eek:

More team picks are always welcome if there is anyone else who would like to get involved :T :j (otherwise see here )

Thanks for all the input so far :T and let's hope the knock-out stages will bring forth some more great discussion points!

Nice one bikerchick.

It suprises me only mclarkie has gone for Brazil..
I cannot wait to start watching the knockout matches,
it was fun watching some of the group stage matches in Crete, but looking forward to being in my own bubble, with my tower speakers on VERY loud to get the atmosphere..
And as im a neutral looking forward to some class footy and definately some penalty shootouts..

My better half would like to go for GREECE as we enjoyed their company over the last 2 weeks..

I predict a Brazil v Argentina final and I'll go for an Argentina win

sax11

either argentina / brazil / france or germany can win

i had money on any of those 4 being in the semis back in april

now i've probably junxed it and theyll crash out

BlueBella

Woo Brazil v Chile was a great game! Glad Brazil got through! Don't think much of their hair styles though - you'd think they'd get hot!

compsalex

My team, Chile, Out! - we wuz robbed!

Blulu

Wot a game though. It was knackering just watching it

France? Nah, I picked Uruguay. Wish I had gone for France though. Cos then I could spell it without having to check

Hoping Columbia win this one. Uruguay have behaved like one gigantic stroppy baby who's thrown their toys out of the pram because they haven't got their own way.

No wonder Suarez is like he is if this is how an entire nation behaves.

'His shoulder jumped up and grabbed my cheek causing my teeth (and what a set of teeth too) to become embedded in his shoulder'

And they all believe him. Open your eyes Uruguay and see what happened and stop making excuses and pathetic reasons as to why this sort of behaviour is acceptable.

Brill game for a neutral like me..
Brazil were extremely poor, if it wasnt for neymar theyd be average,
Chile deserved to win - penaltys isnt really fair but you cant really sort out a time critical tournament any other way..

Brazil will out next round anyway.

Great goal, Vamos Colombia! :T
