This is the real defining result that has messed up the knockout stages .

I think their only danger is Belgium

Glad I backed them at the start

Yes I think Belgium or Croatia will get to the final from the top half both would be too strong for portugal if they even get through

Yep, fancied them as a dark horse especially when they were all over the Czech's for 75 minutes, though that game obviously turned. It would be good for a team like them to break through and get the trophy.

That's a good result for Belgium. Back home their media has been fretting about a wasted golden generation but they have a real chance to get to the final but Croatia look like a better team. I bet the odds of a France vs Croatia final have fallen right down.

Wouldn't be surprised if they reach the final now.

I dont think they will win it. I think defensively they are not as strong as Italy or Germany and also their strikers are not scoring

Agree, they are my favourites to make the final from that half however don't sleep on Portugal. We've all enjoyed their struggles so far but the truth is they've been pretty unlucky and if they beat Hungary they will probably win the group and they could easily click into gear.

I drew Croatia in the work sweepstake, so I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

The Croatia side of 1998 were fabulous and I remember how much I wanted them to win the World Cup that year.

This team is the best they've had since then and I would love to see them get to the final, if not win it (depending on who it's against!)

Are they though? They usually don't even give him the ball. I don't think his team mates are that crazy about him

they've done well but now that everyone is taking notice of them it will inevitably mean them getting knocked out and I do actually fancy Portugal to see them off.
