Still cannot get over how the left side of the bracket is loaded with all the traditional powers (minus spain) and the other side is with the groups that normally don't get to the end. Looks to me like we have a chance of a new player being in the final game and shaking things up.

I like how the brackets played out in that I do expect a non-traditional WC powerhouse to be in the final due to the one side of the draw. Based on how the teams have played it does seem to be a fairly well balanced bracket though.

Argentina and France have not lived up to expectation and I personally think Portugal loses to Uruguay. Disappointed that Belgium and Brazil have to meet in the quarters as that should probably be a semi-final if not a final level matchup. From the other side, I would be happy with several teams making it through...just not Spain, Russia or Switzerland....

Disagree on the balance. The left side is much much stronger than the right side. Most of the favorites are on the left.

I could be wrong...i 100% agree the favorites are over on that side...but I have a hard time right now giving a few of those "top" teams their respect the way they have been playing their tournament...granted...if they play to potential there is no question which side is tougher...its just an issue of teams not playing even close to ability and not sure how that gets corrected...Argentina seems 100% lost...

The only way it could be more lopsided is if you swapped Japan for Spain

Is that graphic FIFA's way of letting everyone know that Japan and Switzerland are the highest bidders right now?

Argentina looks like a hot mess, as per usual the last couple of years. They're going home.

Because of VAR these restarts on PKs are taking forever. Players have figured out they should just delay delay delay in hopes the VAR asks the ref to review it.

Oh my god that free kick by Pogba. 70 yds on the foot of a running player.

Thankfully that one was overturned.

France is going to run that back line to death if they keep this up.

Nobody on Argentina can run with Mbappe. France needs to keep getting him space.

official stream would depend on what country you're in i'd imagine.
for an unofficial stream have you tried Reddit soccer streams?

Oh boy. Pogba just had a very high arm that ended up at Mascherano's head. And with no call Mascherano just straight out retaliated with the cheap foul on Pogba.

The cheese eating surrender monkeys have got to be crushed to be tied in a game where they could easily be up 3. Beautiful goal by the Argentine.
