      Seems the draw process could use a tweak when you have the #2 and #3 teams in the World win their groups yet aligned to meet in the Quarterfinals.

      Oh, and England is now the highest ranked team left on their side of the bracket. The time is now for them to actually do something in a major tournament.

      (They will now probably lose to Colombia)

        That's what happens when one finishes second in their group.

        Do you also complain when 14 and 11 seeds meet up in the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney?

          What do you mean 2nd in their group? Belgium and Brazil both won their groups.

              One can only hope.

                It is only truly heartbreak if they lose (again) on penalties. However, the Capitals won this year, therefore all bets are off.

                    Mea culpa. Thought you were talking about a round of 16 matchup.

                    Nevertheless, that is also a natural consequence of teams being drawn from pots and not simply seeded on an s-curve 1-32 (or even 1-8).

                      It would make some sense for pot 1 to just be placed in the appropriate groups to create 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5? But I’m not sure where the host should fit in if they’re not a top 8 team...

                      At least they finally improved the group setup. In 2014 it could have been a group of 1,8,9,10...

                        To be fair, they’re not grouping the pots by Confederation anymore so that helps (too many times the US got screwed because of that). Though they’re using FIFA Rankings which isn’t much better.

                          Henderson definitely embellished that. Big time acting.

                              This game is infuriating. The constant bickering and jostling/jersey grabbing. Every freakin set piece. Geiger is gonna get torn apart for this game. Not sure if it will be warranted but it's gonna happen.

                                Colombia is sure trying to play him. Seeing English fans wanting a few more car ds to try and stop it
