I prefer to see it that while there's no way I can win, there's also no way to lose as one of ye goes home, so I can just sit back, relax, enjoy the game.

I dunno. Absolutely loads of games where popular things have happened by the bucket load. These mug punter boosts that get tipped up all over the place have been flying in. A popular site gave a 100/1 out on the last England game.

Agreed, the two games today were yawn fests.
Argentina's potential route to final: Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland, Australia, Netherlands, Croatia.
Even with that run of fixtures, had they not had Messi they arguably would not have got out of their group.
Croatia on the other hand despite their resilience, have only won one game all tournament and that was against Canada.
Cannot see the winner coming from that side of the draw. It would cement this World Cup as an exciting and enthralling watch, but ultimately devoid of real great team quality.
Even if France won it back to back I still believe this World Cup to be quite lacking in great quality.
The France side from 98 to 06 would dominate this French team. How many from this current crop get in those teams from that era?

Thuram, Desailly, Deschamps, Anelka, Viera, Petit, Zidane, Henry might get in this team. Better argument imo.
In what context?
The standard of football is shocking, the attitude of the major players shocking.
Shocks, stadiums, organization superb but in football terms it's a sh1t fest.

Don’t forget they’re missing Benzama, Kante and Pogbad (he came be decent on his day for France) This is still a very good French team with arguably the best player in the world having a very good tournament so far.
