    Only thing that bothers me about the remaining games is that there's hardly any Coronation St on this week due to football coverage.

    ๐Ÿ˜

    The Brazil v Japan game tonight should be full of drama though, so hopefully worth missing Corrie for this at least.

    Evening all,

    Will you be joining us for another batch of knockout games today? I found last nightโ€™s tie between Canada and South Africa a bit of a chore, but hopefully the games on this evening will be more lively.

    Tonight we have:

    6pm (BST): Brazil (@kreacher) v Japan (@DazzaC)

    9.30pm (BST): Germany (@WelshBlue and @jfc9419) v Paraguay (@kieran04)

    2pm (BST): Netherlands (@argh and @Nigel_56) v Morocco (@Anhedonia2 and @Tazzi)

    Iโ€™m hoping for different results, but Iโ€™d be surprised if anyone other than Brazil, Germany and Netherlands advance. What about you?

    I predict that at least one of Japan, Paraguay, or Morocco win, just to be contrary! ๐Ÿ˜

    I'd like Japan to beat Brazil, ๐Ÿคž

    They all should hopefully be better than the one last night anyway!

    I hope so too.

    I would like to think nothing could be as bad as last night.

    @Adrian_Scope I was :) Brazil are looking better right now though and have momentum, I feel concerned. Japanโ€™s vibrancy has diminished a little, could be due to awe. Japan maybe playing the history rather than the present because this is not a vintage Brazil team. Japan should be running them ragged the way they do to other countries

    I see Brazil falling down looking for penalties, Japan need to hang on in there, even though it sounds like the commentators don't want them to.

    Well we know who the commentators wanted to win then

    Unfortunately Brazil won. Japan did play really well though.

    Well done @kreacher
