Panama Croatia is the most intriguing.

Both decent teams who need a win.


England could get surprised by Ghana (they surprised the USMNT).


That group has a chance to end up chaotic as hell by the end of tomorrow.

Imagine going into the last match with this scenario:

Ghana 6 pts
England 3 pts
Panama/Croatia 3 pts


Last day of group matches would be Panama and England playing for Second or third, and Croatia playing Ghana for a second or third place.

Seriously considering dropping money on two tickets for the Atlanta R32 game this morning before England wins and makes it official. My wife is actually encouraging it as she has caught World Cup fever. $2k get in right now, I haven't been studying tickets enough to know if there will be a drop off prior to kick.

What? From a world cup years ago?


This Ghana team has lost recently to Austria, Korea, Germany Mexico and drew to wales. Their only win since qualifying has been the panama match.

Roberto Martinez is a terrorist. Portugal should arrest him for starting Ronaldo.

My expectation:

Portugal comes out and handles business early, similar to Spain’s 2nd match.

England with a bit of an ugly win.

Croatia bounced back with a comfortable win.

Saw a guy with an open $500 bet for 2+ goals for Messi, Mbappe, Haaland, and Kane. First three are wins, waiting on Kane to play today...cash out is $121,000, win potential is $796,000.

I don't envy having to make the decision to cash out or not I feel like I would let it ride, but staking my future on old Harry Kane is a tough pill to swallow.

Portugal needs to ditch the 4231 and start Ramos over Ronaldo

After watching how bad Ghana was in their first match, I'd say this is a low percentage.

Knew Martinez wouldn't have the balls to bench Ronaldo
He's destroying their chances
