I’m sad for CIV but I think Norway were better. I’m watching the France game now, I hope this can be a fun game :)

Football is such a great game, I really enjoyed the Austria v Algeria game :)

Afternoon all,

It was a tough night for Ivory Coast, Sweden and Ecuador, but never mind!

Move over the free-flowing attacking football of last night. Now it's time for a nervous and inconsistent display that satisfies absolutely no-one but the Scots.

Will you be watching England tonight? What sort of England will we get? Will DR Congo get crushed as England rampage into the last-16 or will they sidestep a sputtering England performance and immortalise themselves at the expense of the Three Lions? Or instead will we get something lukewarm and in between? Perhaps an dismal England performance with a set piece goal that does just enough to put us into the last-16 against Mexico? Yeah, that's what I thought!

5pm (BST): England (@Tony60 and @Ainger13) v DR Congo (@bri1959)

9pm (BST): Belgium (@Richard_Scope) v Senegal (@Geoffers58)

1am (BST): USA (@Shar17on) v Bosnia and Herzegovina (@LilMissOops and @Smartbutcasual80)

Who have you got?

C'mon, you beautiful Belgians!

Hello :) I think England will win but I hope not as I was completely turned off by their dire performance against Ghana and their tv interviews before games and tournaments were they talk a good game and fail to deliver every time. I’m supporting Congo tonight :)

I’d really like Senegal to win but I think they will narrowly lose to Belgium

And I think Bosnia will beat USA. I just feel Bosnia’s negative style will suck the enthusiasm out of USA

Hopes: wins for England, Senegal, B&H

Predictions: the opposite of all of those 3 !

If England play badly again tonight, then I will probably switch allegiance half way through and start supporting DRC to win anyway! I can be a very fickle fan. 😊
