I think I slightly favor Uruguay in that match, but neither result would surprise me. It's quite annoying the two meet already.

I really like Brazil aside from Neymar, but can't stand him, so I don't really know who I'm rooting for there. I suppose Belgium actually getting far for once would be alright. Brazil are probably favorites, but Belgium sure showed they don't give up under pressure.

Croatia are favorites for sure, but I'm all on the Russia clutch victory train. The gap between them are not as big as most people seem to think. Denmark played their best match by far when they played them and they were the better team in that match overall. That's not because Croatia wasn't playing as well as usual, because they were. Croatia simply looked amazing on paper, but in reality, they weren't a title threat. The Nigeria game wasn't too convincing, the Argentina game is what overhyped them, but Argentina were the better team there (and they weren't too good) until the goalkeeper gave Croatia a goal. From there Argentina threw it all away. The second goal looked good, but most keeper would've saved it. The third was a free gift from a furious Argentina. The Iceland game was not at all convincing either.

England are probably favorites in that match yeah, but I don't think they've looked that convincing at any point, it's pretty much just bracket placement that has made them a topic of interest when discussing potential winners. Colombia played dirty the first 75 minutes yesterday, but as soon as they stopped doing that, Colombia were clearly the better team. If Colombia had their act and play together from the beginning, England likely doesn't even get to PKs. But I don't know, Sweden is the most unpredictable team left by far. Against South Korea they looked like a team that got a lucky goal and just really wanted to hold on to the only victory they might get. At their best they look like a team that can beat England. We'll see how it goes.

On a side note: Kane is a clear favorite for golden boot and I don't mind him getting it except it's really boring when half your goals are PKs. I mean, not really something you can do anything about, it's just... meh.
