Paying tribute to a Football Immortal; favourites Brazil after their 4:1 win against South Korea
Incredible tension in each of our respective homes this morning, particularly for the Japan v Croatia clash. This is what Football4Mates is all about. With Croatia pressing to go 2-1, Aramis and Si Webb were looking the goods to grab five points. However, the Japanese defence denied the hopeful aspirants and it was instead Nestor who grabbed the occasion (5 points). But alas, he too was denied by the heroics of Croatia's goalkeeper (Livakovic). And with that, up stepped Yianni to claim the first F4Mates penalty bonus points to keep his hopes alive. Yianni predicted 0-0, hence 4 points to the Euro 2020 Archon. Realising the consequence of his missed opportunity, Aramis tried to complain to the referee that he should be awarded 1 point for predicting Croatia to win on penalties. He was waved away; "Penalty Bonus does not work that way Ace". Disappointment for the young man.
Tomorrow's two matches may perhaps seem straightforward on paper at least, but Morroco has proven themselves by coming first in their group by beating Belgium and Canada and drawing with Croatia. While Spain was caught on the break on more than one occasion by the Japanese. In the other game, Portugal for all their qualities is always a temperamental team, and Switzerland, for their defensive frailties is capable of delivering an unexpected knockout blow. Tough decisions!
