Beating England?
Germany and Holland went out to lesser countries so to speak.
It can’t happen again can it… |  |

It’s possible but I fancy England to rise ti the challenge and win 2-0.
Think the team will continue to improve and if they face Mexico in the Round of 16 I fancy England to win that - and win in style. |  | | |

Would be a bigger shock than either of those, but it's a one off knock out match so anything could happen. I'd say if we played them 10 times we'd go out maybe twice. | | | |

I just looked at FIFA's current top teams. Morocco at #6 and Germany at 12! When was the last time that they weren't in the top 10?
FWIW Congo are 41st & Paraquay are 34 (up 7). A little bit of context. |  |

Germany yes.
Holland and Morocco I'd say are fairly even. so I wouldn't call the latter a lesser country.
I'll admit I don't know too much about Congo, but they'll do well to look at what Ghana did. | | | |

I don't know what's harder to believe.
England will be toothless against their defense - 0-0.
England will win the penalty shoot-out. |  |

I didn't think Morocco beating Netherlands was too much of a surprise, that always looked like a bit of a coin toss. No doubt Germany was, Paraguay did a job on them, although I thought the disallowed goal was soft as shit really.
England should have enough tomorrow, I'd be more worried about Ecuador or Mexico in the Azteca. Its so far above sea level its basically in space, and if we're facing Mexico we'll meet a side in great form, with a ridiculous home record and advantage of playing in front of their own fans.
England will win tomorrow though. |  | | |

Morocco ranked 6th in Fifa rankings, Netherlands ranked 7 - if any game was expected to go to penalities, it was this. Not a lesser country. |  | | |

No I didn't.

They will be on the same field as us, but that's about it. I predict a comfortable 3-0 England win. |  |

Yeah Paraguay Germany was an upset.
Morocco Netherlands absolutely not. Morocco need to be considered in the mix for this tournament.
Lesser country 🙄. |  |

If we play like the last two games I would say Congo's chances of pulling off an upset are quite high. |  |

Last September Germany were 12th
On DR Congo.. they held this tournament in Africa every couple of years as well as the Africa cup of nations called confusingly for us the African nations championship until very recently… it basically was only open to players that were currently playing in that nation’s leagues but players in the squad had to also be from that country…. DR Congo generally won it or did very well .. this was with all their “top” players playing all over the world.
They’re not going be a pushover. [Post edited 30 Jun 18:33]

Think Congo will be tough, we have unfortunately given a blueprint on how to play against us and I gather Congo are very solid defensively.
That’s said I still think we win, Mexico will be a very very tough prospect in the Azteca. |  |

If as I think they will, play the " Low Block " ( I hate that term! ), that will increase their chances by about 20% or possibly more, given how brilliant we are ( not ) at breaking it down. Wissa will provide a threat up front, so it's no gimme. Apart from 15 minutes against Croatia, we've been bang average at best so far. Time to turn up I think. |  | | |

G;ad you're not playing, cos if they walk onto the pitch with a defeatist mindset like that they probably would.
Anyway, given the commentators' curses already bestowed by 3 over-confident others on the thread to date, I feel the need to don my anti-hex hat and say -
"They didn't say that". |  |

And if it went to penalties 10 times, we'd go out maybe 9 times | |

How on earth do you class Morocco as a lesser country than Congo? They're ranked number 6 in the world! |  |

He means lesser footballing nations to themselves, not relative to Congo.
Still debatable in the case of Netherlands & Morocco though. | | | |

I'd say the chances are about the same as Ipswich losing to Oxford, Charlton at home, or twice in quick succession to Wrexham.
Does smell to me like a 0-0 is coming with the penos a 50/50 either way. |  |
