Not surprising at all tbh.

Trolling aside kudos to Cristiano for scoring the penalty, the pressure must have been immense.
Portugal winning against Croatia was always the most favourable outcome.

Both teams are struggling but Croatia was struggling more. Croatia winning the match would have been a minor upset and that's not me shitting on Croatia but reality of how Croatia had been.

Even the manager made the mistake by holding off to do subs for too long.

Unfortunately Croatia's golden age is over. They look so slow and sluggish.

Portugal's biggest mistake was not winning against Colombia.

There is no chance of them beating Spain, USA and France to reach the final and even if they somehow manage it, some key players will be exhausted, suspended due to cards, injured, etc.
These are extremely difficult matches.

Tbh i wouldn't even be surprised if the USA reach the semi finals against France. Pochettino has done an excellent job with this team.

Portugal won't go past Spain. Spain is well rounded team. They haven't conceded a single goal yet and are also picking up in offense on right time. Their mid is controlling the tempo of the match.

USA has been good but Spain in good form is one team that I would always bet on regardless of the opponents.

Imo Spain is going into finals. France always struggle against teams who likes to control the momentum of the game in mid.

Of course it's football and anything can happen between Spain and France but I am not buying France explosive run so far.

My main issue with Spain is the goalkeeper.

They have 2 elite goalkeepers on the bench yet play with Simon. I really can't understand why they do that.

Because all of them are great so it's tough

They are going with Simon because he has been their first choice in Euros as well and he delivered.

Even in this WC he has 4 consecutive clean sheets.

Players who perform at international stages always gets priority over those who performed for clubs. Raya is great but they are simply going with Simon as has been delivering for Spain for a long time now.
