Look at that lower part of the bracket if that happens. England, France, Spain, Portugal, Brazil all fighting for one place in the finals :D Upper part of the bracket would open up completely. 8-)

Clear path for Messi


Hopefully, he will go back to the Parc des princes asap and continue cruising with the farmers in league 1 :lol:

Come on Mitrovic. You can't do that ****.

I am not sure what is the point of flopping like that in the era of VAR.

Shaqiri is a fire hydrant.

Chris Paul level flop by the Serbian striker leads to a dust up. Pretty sure I sew a Swiss player pull a Reggie Miller to the Serbian bench lol.

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

I would not be comfortable playing against Serbia. Every single one of them looks like they have fought 6 bouncers at once on a fairly frequent basis.

It is not slander. He looks like a fire hydrant. He is a little rectangle. It's great.

Pulisic cleared to play and the Dutch have reportedly been ravaged by illness. We’re going to win by six goals, at least.
