Just as the crazy crypto chart movements, this World Cup tournament is wide open to speculation. First off, congrats to the Brazil on a solid win against Mexico. Even though their opponents fought hard and valiantly, the might of the Brazilians doing what they do best, proved too much. Neymar was back in form as two goals thanks to him (one by way of assist) cliched the victory.
But, strangely enough, that wasn't to be the match everybody would be talking about. The Belgium vs. Japan playoff was nearly the biggest upset of the World Cup so far. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them go 2-0 ahead of Belgium, who looked nothing but confused and bewildered. In fact, I was sure this would be in the bag of the Japanese dream team. Never before had a Japan side qualified into the last eight. I was speechless. But the drama was only getting started.
Belgium, I feel, had assumed Japan would be a walk over. So, taking their foot off the accelerator somewhat, cost them dearly. Though knowing what was a t stake, they switched up into top form in the blink of an eye. The first goal was accidentally for Belgium, but a goal nonetheless, scored by Jan Vertonghen. The Gods were at hand to support Belgium in their darkest hour. A glimmer of hope. A few more minutes in and another goal by the werewolf himself, Marouane Fellaini. Having a fresh pair legs running onto the pitch as a substitution, he showed his dynamic skills on the world stage. Well, all equal and as injury time drew to a close, it was looking like another half hour of play to see out the decider, but an incredible late goal from Belgian striker Nacer Chadli at literally the final second of the match, brought home the victory.
I'm stunned. These game for the last three days have been a football fans dream come true. I know one thing for sure. I'll be needed a couple session of depression therapy after this tournament is over. Being spoilt rotten like this, has never felt so good.
Now, bring on the game that's on everybody's lips. England vs. Columbia...
I'm lucky because we've been playing the World Cup every day at work so I get to see most games there. Honestly, it's been so slow lately that if it wasn't for the World Cup I would actually consider getting a different job.

You are spot on ….did you see that statistic that France 4 vs 3 Uruguay - it was the first time ever that the result 4 vs 3 had occurred at a world cup! In over 800 matches. Let's hope England pull a great performance out of the bag against Columbia!

a very thrilling match and many people wrongly predict the outcome of the game. it's true @ezzy, a world cup like the development of crypto that moves erratically. many teams that are a mainstay in the world cup was not able to survive. so regarding crypto, many of which do not match prediction.
