He also had sex with de Bruyne's girlfriend a few years ago. Not a great teammate!
Probably something like 60-40 that France/Belgium wins, which is about the chance that Brazil had today. So, definite possibility for an upset, but any relatively close result shouldn't be a huge surprise.

I disagree on penalties being too random, but if FIFA wanted to reduce randomness anyway, they could institute the old MLS-style shootout.
I saw Jeter's 2001 Game 4 walk-off and his 3,000th hit in person. I feel like I deserve a gift basket.
The formula was changed after the 2006 World Cup and is being changed again after this one to a more Elo-like system.
You know the rankings are based on results, right? There’s not a guy in Zurich putting a list together.

Then they kicked it around a little and either turned it over or put in a mediocre cross. Boateng never (to my recollection) attempted an incisive pass through the…
Boateng’s red was a blessing in disguise because it forced some variety into their attack. Boateng was leading every charge into the Swedish half which is...not ideal.
Putting Yankees - Red Sox in the same universe as USA - Mexico is silly...just not for the reason Billy thinks.
What kind of hellish event has a 90 minute wait for alcohol??
A winger’s run and a fullback’s finish.
