Brazil path is hard. The other path to final is relatively easy. And it's up to Eng and croatia to up their game significantly if they want to succeed and snif at a championsion. Will not get such a big opportunity here.

On Brazils side.. every one of them has a chance. Good luck. Great games ahead.

And I can't stretch this enough. I f&)**&)8 LOVE WORLD CUP!!!

Good Luck brazil.

kinda sad we are in QF stage already. less than 10 games remaining.

I want Uruguay, Brazil, Croatia, England to go through..

and Croatia to win the cup. Fell in love with their jersey back in '98.

I would be happy with this outcome. I think Uruguay is a pretty good team this year. France should have hard time though they got some speed and muscle power. France is a big name but it is not zidanes France when he was a player .

England has to ante up there game significantly .. they have had very easy path so far .. their game looks very lackluster .. but I will be supporting them.

Brazil vs England final will be nice

mufi_02 · #8 July 5, 2018, 12:50 PM

tomorrow's game are the most exciting ones. France/Uruguay will be very interesting while Brazil/Belgium has all the excitement of a classic.

Neymar needs to dive more to get some foul calls.

Don't count out the russia vs croatia game... i think it will be a surprisingly a good one. The crowd will make a big difference.

Hahah of course why wouldn't I ? But I got back last night . I had a lot of fun . I wanted to stay longer but couldn't for others . Was lucky enough to able to attend one arg match one Brazil match .

Things worked out well for me . Had lot of fun in fan zone also.

Things to notice ... u can occasionally catch Bangladeshi flag in big games ... on tv. But in stadium it's always there .. these guys from Bangladeshi football federation get great premium/VIP seats .. and they take big bd flag like boss . In tv u have to be attentive to catch some glimpse

Lucky You. My cousin also attended few matches. Saw some incredible pics. Loved the atmosphere.

Arg is hated mostly everywhere. Dont know why. Is the Hand of God goal still playing a part of this?

mufi_02 · #13 July 5, 2018, 12:53 PM

what is the goal of the tournament for you guys? I think Pavard's strike against Arg was the best.

Btw we need our team chant for cricket . The chant in stadium sounds so awesome !!! If I ende up going to England I wanna be with ppl who won't shy from a bd chant .. maybe "amra korbo joy "

There is a big hatred for Argentina among other supporters... they have some great anti Argentina chant

"Oh di maria oh macherano oh Messi ciao Messi ciao Messi ciao ciao ciao ..."
"America Latina menos Argentina "

Football fans are so fun ... cricket sucks but I think we can make it better

To be honest I find it annoying when you are carrying a flag in the stadium whose team is not playing or who were never represented in wc. Let me elaborate...

There are few Bangladeshi/Indian/African students in moscow. Some of them came to fan zone with their own flag. And russians there are obviosuly taking pics with fans of different countries.. and i saw some bangladeshi and Indian kids taking pics with them with their respective flag. that is some what of a mockery/fraudulent to me. But whatever they are having fun i suppose.

OCcasionally I saw Indian kids in stadium posing with their own flag (pretty big too) to for obviously instagram and waving.. again likely local students. And annoying as hell.

But then occasionally you will see some family or small group of Bangladeshis from Bangladesh being in stadium. Like that Federation ppl. I can appreciate their flag presence.. they are not really showy.. waving or anything.. just putting the flag in front..like i saw in the brazil game and i think if tv catches it... there will be lot of cheering ppl in Bangladesh and I think that is the reason a foreign flag that's not reprsented in the tournament should still be ther just because that country has such a massive following... it's pertinent to Brazil and argentina or the finals..

SportingBD · #21 July 5, 2018, 01:24 PM

Best Goal:

1. Pavard
2. Ronaldo
3. Di Maria

Will be hard to beat Pavard goal.. but anything can happen in QF onwards...

mufi_02 · #22 July 5, 2018, 02:08 PM

^lucky you. there is nothing like football wc and the passion.

from next year, I will try to catch all the big clubs that comes to US..might even start to go to some to MLS games. time to ditch cricket for good.

iDumb · #23 July 5, 2018, 05:26 PM

i just searched google "why south americans hate Argentina". The first result a washington post article from 1982

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...=.572cedf8980c

read the first paragraph and stopped.. and that's enough for me.

Quote:

ASK ANY ARGENTINE why his countrymen are generally disliked, resented and ridiculed throughout Latin America, and without hesitation, he will invariably reply: They are envious, envious that we Argentines are a nation of pure, white European stock, that we live and prosper in a rich country, that we are cultured and literate, that we are not racial mongrels mixed with Indians and blacks.

the more you know... all of a sudden Argentina doesn't seem all that of a great country to support. LOL. But from pure football pov, go MESSI!!

NoName · #24 July 5, 2018, 05:30 PM

If you go to football/soccer reddit threads Argentina is pretty despised, especially by the other Latin nations.

From what I gathered seeing other Brazilian posters, Argentinians seem to be quite racist since they are 'white' skinned and mock the darker looking Brazilians. Maradona's antics and cheating behaviour back in the day also plays a part as to why others don't like Argentina (ex. they put tranquilizer in the drinks of one of the Brazilian players during a WC QF match)

iDumb · #25 July 5, 2018, 05:32 PM

Another story, in a fan fest I wore the Argentine jersey. Group of Brazilians came up to me. And looking at me obviously knew I wasn't Argentine. Asked why I was wearing that jersey. I told him i like messi and having a Bangladeshi background there is a big Argentine support I grew up watching sorroudning me so naturally I am more inclined..

He directly told me.. "if you give me your jersey , I will spit and burn it right now.".

the hatred is strong and real.
