Interesting insight. Never thought of that. And more bettting opportunities when there is a plethora of individual stats, etc.

Actually I will miss the team. They lost yes but they have an exciting brand of play

Was also hoping for Mexico to go forward. Manager will surely be sacked. While on the subject of the Mexico - Saudi Arabia match - has anyone ever seen a more unorthodox keeper than the Saudi goalie? After watching that game I find it unbelievable that the Saudi side defeated Argentina.

Belgium was just dealt out and I think Martinez will be under a lot of scrutiny about some of his player decisions. This is a very talented side (as are Croatia), deeper than almost any other squad, and it seemed pretty obvious that a lot of the substitutes brought more to the pitch than the players that started ahead of them. Lukaku may not be allowed back into the country!

On to the afternoon matches!

Germany is out that is also a Shock.

The infield games and results are getting interesting

Germany was knocked out early in 2018 too I believe.
