First two high scoring, final match lots of yellows, and maybe a red.

Ivory Coast and Norway is tough to call - if Odegaard and Haaland are on, Norway wins. If game gets stretched Ivory Coast speed could run that defense ragged.

France should crush Sweden but I don't expect a clean sheet with Sweden's awesome forwards.

Mexico Ecuador is also tough. Ecuador has a better team than Mexico, but Azteca will be a big obstacle. 0-0 or 1-0 game settled late and as mentioned earlier, tons of fouls.

The elevation won't be a problem for Ecuador, the atmosphere will be a problem. Should be an ugly match with a lot of cards.

France knows they have a much easier path to the semi-finals. They are going steamroll their way there now.

can't get a good read on this game at all. Could see it high scoring, low scoring, either team winning.

I think Morocco could give France a real game in the QF.

Yeah Morocco is going to be a tough out. I know they beat them 2-0 in the last WC semi. But I don't really remember how that game went

Morocco has proven they’re a legit top 10 team.

They’d spank England and Portugal.

I think Sweden will fare better if they don’t use the 3-1-4-2.

Don’t sleep on the first match. I expect it to be VERY physical. Jesus Valenzuela has a reputation for being card happy, although he hasn’t been so far.

Up until 3 minutes before the break Norway was like watching paint dry.

How did nobody get a shot off during that Norway attack?
