Hello Fellow collector's,
So I wondered, do we have Football Fans here on Numista :D? You all watching?
Who are you cheering for :D?
My country, The Netherlands, didn't qualify so I guess I will be cheering for Russia, since my
wife is Russian :D

Tennis, and cycling (sometimes swimming) are more my thing when it comes to sports, but I have been bombarded by the usual stuff online from my more football-obsessed friends more and more recently. Couldn't care less, but I bear with them 
Mostly for Les Bleus and the England team, but I think I also saw something for Australia related to the World Cup floating about on Twitter today.

Germany
(But I have a feeling that we are not quite as strong as 4 years ago, so I think the winner will be someone else).
in the past I always watched every single WC game but now with a baby and my job its less easy to do

Being from Belgium, I hope the "Red Devils" will go as far as possible. They have a quite good team, despite the fact the coach (Roberto Martinez) didn't take Radja Nainggolan for "strategical purpoose" in the team, who is very appreciated in Belgium.
I think that very reason will lead a lot of people to dislike Martinez if we don't at least go to 1/2 finals because most of people have good expectations this year and were a bit disappointed by the last mundial and EURO.
The team seemed in good form in the last friendly matches. The main disadvantage is the defense which has quite suffered these last months, even if the remaining players are still good. We'll see how it's going.
Apart from the Belgian team, I like Iceland, they did great at the EURO 2016, with great supporters and a fierce envy to win. They probably won't qualify but who knows, in 2016, nobody would have predicted them in 1/4.
I quite hoped the Faroe Islands would qualify, they played unexpectedly good in the qualification phase but a bit too short.

Great play from Egypt with very disciplined and solid midfield in half-time and many chances created from Uruguay too. Hope this will go down to a great match, especially after our (I'm a Liverpool fan) Egyptian King Salah comes out!

Next match is going to be tough and very important for us. As Switzerland and Brazil tied, they each have a point now, which means, if we loose to Switzerland, they will be first in group, and I doubt we gonna beat Brazil.

Quote: "Salaction"I am hoping Iran will still go through now, SRL :DYes, please!
Though the chances now, analytically, depend on at least one of the following:
- Morocco winning at least two goals against Portugal and Iran not losing;
- Iran winning against Spain.
Given how much I despise Sergio Ramos (2018 UCL Finals, Mo Salah
), go Iran!SRL

Croatia-Argentina 3: 0.
Forward Croatia. Great victory

Silver coins were among the first coins ever used, thousands of years ago. The silver standard was used for centuries in many places of the world. And the use of silver for coins, instead of other materials, has many reasons.

Argentina was in a win-win situation until they couldn't resist 3 goals from a new team like Croatia. Unbelievable!
It was Germany who scored at least more than 3 or 3 goals in Argentine football history. All Maradona said this time was to coach Jorge Sampaoli who was responsible for the Iceland game and the Croatia game, that the players played but his training skills were not good and that he chose Willy Caballero the goalkeeper who was responsible for not resisting the Croatian goals. Maradona's words became true. Of all, I think this year's match was not balanced. Germany lost to Mexico, Argentina's Messi and Maradona was seen the most sad and confusing as opponents took over them. Miserable lose for Argentina!

We call Germany 0-1 Iceland an upset.
We call Argentina 0-3 Croatia a humiliation.
The entire Argentine time performed as if it did not have any spirit at all, very disappointing!
However, the thing I would like to say is - rather than overestimating Argentina, we have very much underestimated Croatia. A smashing performance from the Croatians! Beautiful volley by Rebic after the miserable Caballero fail, an even more beautiful shot by Modric out of the box, and a lovely way to end the match with Rakitic's strike.
Full appreciation to Dejan Lovren of the Reds

Quote: "SquareRootLolly"Oh well for England yeah xD very disappointed by 2nd half really. Why do they not go for a record? They did nothing, could say to save strength but didn’t need much strength for it. Shouldn’t have swapped Harry Kane either so he could increase his amount of goals to secure his topscorer position.

I believe a reason they swapped off Harry Kane was because of how aggressively Panama was playing, constantly looking for the players to tackle and not the ball. They probably don't want Kane to get injured, though I think they really should have utilised the chance to create a reord.

Well I feel sorry for Egypt and Salah too :(
Didn't expect a 3-0 for Uruguay my Russian wife wasn't happy :(
Now it's Russia vs. Spain in Moscow on the 1st of July, my wives birthday, so let's win for her Russia xD
Though I doubt that'll happen. Although Spain wasn't very convincing again vs. Morocco!
But what shocked me most is Cristiano missing a penalty, dafuck? :(
Rather have him than Harry Kane being the topscorer, lol!

Yay! Argentina progressed to the round of 16! What a outstanding performance by Messi and Rojo! Feeling glad that Argentina at last won their difficult and a steeper path to the 16s. Not only that, Argentina could not have won unless Croatia won their match against Iceland. Happy to see Argentina emerging to round of 16!

What a match last night!
I'm very pleased with Eric Dier's penalty, also well done Colombia for scoring in the 93rd minute.
Very entertaining however there were a good few yellow cards handed out.
I hope England and Sweden is as exciting!
