    Spain win 1-0 and not much rolling around on the grass.

    Now come on Belgium.

    The player in question will be starting for the USA, some Republican lickspittle on BBC News said he was glad Trump stepped in, doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks. 🙄

    I wonder when we get the recount? Sad!

    Just checking the scores from last nights games: 1-0 to Spain… and blimey! 4-1 to Belgium. Wow! Well done Belgium 🙌

    Surely even Trump cannot contest that one.!!

    Are England in the quarter finals now? I've had a little google but still not 100%

    Yes @Holly_Scope England v Norway is a quarter final game.

    If there are no thunderstorms around, it's due to kick off at 10 our time, so with a Sunday morning lie in that's a good time…….😋

    Afternoon all,

    Some interesting results last night (but that Portugal/Spain game is something I could have done without watching!)

    The final games of the round of 16 wrap up tonight:

    5pm (BST): Argentina (@Hope64 and @Alisonjaneg) v Egypt (@Rosie_Scope)

    9pm (BST): Switzerland (@Mr_Shoes_Tied and @gothchick56) v Colombia (@Bluebell21 v @elle19)

    Both games are being played at relatively reasonable hours. Will you be watching? Can Egypt spring a bit of a surprise on the defending champions?

    My predictions are Argentina and Columbia to win. I plan to watch both, so long as I don't fall asleep…

    I'm chuffed that Spain beat Portugal last night, because I don't like Portugal, and Spain are my team in the Sweepstake. It was a snoozefest of a match though! I think everyone was relieved when it did not go to extra time. 🤣

    And Belgium were just epic! 👏

    Hello, I think Argentina will win comfortably and really surprised that Egypt have made it this far. I thought even Egypt’s penalties the other night were actually quite poor and were fortunate to go in. I’d really like Colombia to win with their fast and vibrant football but Switzerland are a good team and don’t know the outcome so can’t guess this one

    I was really impressed with England the other night. It was very exciting and they did really well, I was glad I stayed awake to watch it :) I do think they’ll be sent home by Norway though
