On paper many of the things that happened in group stages wouldn't happen but here we are. Hoping for many upsets.

Of course. Even more hilarious if a big team is sent home by likes of Australia, Japan, or Coreea.

If anyone wants to bet, imo, 1-2 out of: Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Spain, Portugal will get KO'd in the next round

At least 1-2...

How about 5 of the 6 get KOed in the next round.

Outside Argentina that is :mou:

Everything is possible

1. NT teams don't have chemistry like clubs
2. Only one KO match, not 2 matches like in a CL (higher chances for a day off and surprises)
3. All underdogs like Japan, Korea, Australia, Morocco, Usa etc have wins against favorites already.
4. One lucky goal/stupid VAR pen and every single match can go into a panic mode and wrong direction

Japan are certainly going further.

The only way they'll be beaten IMO is by a taller/more physical team with endless crossing.
Don't see Croatia beating them.

My prediction:
USA win v Holland
Argentina win v Australia
Japan win v Croatia
Brazil win v South Korea (very close game)
France MURDER Poland (good lord)
Spain lose on penalties to Morocoo
Portugal win v Switzerland
England win v Senegal

EDIT: I was so very fucking wrong about USA, Japan and South Korea, FML.
But got the Spain one! :p

I am not expecting favourites to be as native as in the group games. Only real upsets I could see are usa and maroco.

My prediction: (be warned, will not age well).
Holland win USA (this could get to penalties)
Argentina win Australia (Messi to miss a penalty)
Croatia win Japan (Croatia has quality)
Brazil win S. Korea (this one I expect big win)
France win Poland (closer game than expected)
Maroco win Spain (serial chocking to continue)
England win Senegal (not the time for England to go out yet)

You're welcome
Isn't that kind of a conservative bet? 1/2 out of 6 favourites fail(s) to advance? So if it just ends up being 1 you can already claim to have been right?
