Knockout Stages - Round of 16

[MPH]

This should mean we get passed the semis, right? 

[fox_up_north]

Just means a greater chance we get shafted

[JimJams]

Gonna be interesting when they draw the lines on VAR...

I don’t think it does the England team any favours. Midday heat in Mexico is horrible.

Looking at the weather (which implies a thunderstorm is as likely in the day) it’s about 24 degrees, so not too bad.

Fans bring bent over too who would’ve had travel plans pretty much sorted now might miss kick off or the game completely. 
 

One reason why world cups should only have one country hosting it. Money talks though.

Not as good as night game surely, but yea should still be decent

[when_you're_smiling]

The best thing about the game being early is the pubs can stay open till 5am afterwards to celebrate/commiserate.

It sounded flat for the opener, but I'd imagine that was down to more corporate wanting to be there. Sounded good last game and looked like a proper football crowd.
