Knockout Stages - Round of 32

[JonnyZeroFox]

Unlucky Ivory Coast played well, better than I thought 

[spacemunky]

Goal of the tournament by Haaland was the difference.

[MC Prussian]

Well, will Norway be able to stop the Brazil Train? Tune in again on July, 5th.

I thought he'd muffed it

So did he for a second, realised he’d fluffed the contact as he hit it 

[Jonezy]

Yes! Go Norge!! Our Scandi friends. 

 

What a save at the end and of course Haaland scores with a scruffed shot.

Well, finally a european nation through to the last 16 and another to come after France-Sweden.

I knew the Norwegian would

[Kitchandro]

Why are they trying to make out that game was good.

[Super_horns]

Had to be Haaland.

 

Excellent couple of goals earlier .

 

Very good save at the end

[VinceNoir]

Even as a Dane I find myself rooting for Norway. Some might find the rowing gimmick super cringe but I think it’s great. Fancy them against Brazil!

[shen]

Sitting here with the Norwegian in-laws. The nerves were very palpable. The optimism nonexistant  happy they go through, but feel sorry for the Ivorians who looked a tidy side.

It's a blatant ripoff of Iceland at the Euros/Worlds. But it's a bit of harmless fun, so let them enjoy it. It's been a while generation since they were last at the worlds, so I don't blame their enthusiasm.

[Jonezy]

Feel like Norway is experiencing what us Danes experienced in 1986, when we suddenly had a team competing with the best in the world. And I am just happy for them. 

 

Can Sweden shock the French and make it a complete Scandi day? i am not really a believer.

100% a ripoff but still a good thing they’ve got going on. In general they’ve done a hell of a job branding themselves to the world as proper vikings with the pre-tournament photo and all this rowing stuff. All the while we’ve got a horrendous manager with balenciaga trainers

Were they rowing?

No, but they watched on with large smiles. All super cringe, but good fun.

[Raj]

CMon France.

Need one consistently good team to keep this otherwise shite tournament  alive.

I know '86 won neutral hearts and not many will rank them lower than the very best Danish team ever.

But I would dare say the '98 team were the closest to a complete team that could genuinely compete with the best. We ran Brazil very close that day.

[Aus Fox]

Come on the Swedes! Let’s see what you’ve got! 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Feels like a bloody age since Potter was at West Ham

[PhillippaT]

I'm quarter French, but supporting France in almost any sport just feels wrong   

[Ian Nacho]

Sweden's goalkeeping selection seems odd. Surely Johansson is way better than that bloke from Derby. With it being Potter I assume it's to do with playing out from the back. Just play your best keeper man. 

[spacemunky]

Out of all the upsets, this would be the least upset I'd be about one.

[21st Century Fox]

Sweden are going to be gassed playing like this.

[Muzzy_no7]

Should’ve been a yellow for Saliba

[Ian Nacho]

That's onside?
