The match will be held at the Estadio Mineirao, Belo Horizonte. Kick-off is at 13:00 local time. (For the kick-off time in your time zone click here.)

Referee: Howard Webb (England)

 

My guess: Brazil 2 - 1 Chile

Well, Brazil is the 1st team qualified. A LOT of suspense in this match, however they sucked big time. Brazil has players, but today they were just lucky.

Also, I don't want to sound biased, but Chile has THE biggest actors at this WC so far. Our commentators said at one time that there are snipers in the crowd (joking, of course), that's why Chile's players fall like that. That guy (can't remember his name) that faked the foul by Daniel Alves was PATHETIC. He simply threw himself in the opponent and fell like he was struck by lightning.

 

Anyway, I really didn't like this game. Hopefully Columbia & Uruguay will provide a better spectacle. :)

As soon as it became clear that they were playing for the extra time, it started to dull. When it was clear that neither team had enough "legs" to score then, it was just a matter of waiting until the penalty lottery.

I cant stand Brazil and feel they got lucky. If Chile did this to them a superior team can knock them off so I do no think they will win unless conspiracy happens. I sure hope it remains clean all the way but with FIFA you never know.

Neymar celebrated like he did something and he did not do s*1@t. Colombia Uruguay should be excellent. Both teams play well. Holland though has really kicked ass. They are going to be very tough to beat

That's not a fact, not with Brazil and not with any team. By your logic, for example, since Germany beat Portugal and Portugal beat Ghana, Ghana should have been an easy pray for Germany. Yet, it wasn't.

 

Brazil always had problems with smaller teams, mostly in the qualifying phases. But the further they go, their game is a totally different one. At lease it was like this in the past, we'll see if it happens again now. And yes, they got lucky, but luck is also part of football :)

I must say Brazil is feeling the pressure for playing at home. Ali that crying...

It became a disfunctional team, fragile psychologically.

 

I am thinking the same, I forgot to add this in my previous posts. Brazil are under a huge pressure, not only because of their image, but also because, in the past, horrible things have happened when the team lost early at WM (suicides, violent protests, even the economy went down in Brazil). All these things AND the expectation of people in the world (Brazil is still considered the best football team in the world by many) weights a lot on the players and the coach. It's not easy to play under these conditions. For them, the fact that they're playing home is a curse.

They had not won the cup at home and yes I heard when they loose suicides, etc. Why kill yourself when your team looses is beyond my comprehension. Chicago teams loose I get upset for that day maybe shed a tear but kill myself? Never.

Give me a freaking break. Just a game..

The protests which do become violent and destructive is also very stupid as Brazil prides itself as tourist destination and I would hate to travel there for pleasure and be in the middle of that mess.

I never had a desire to go there and I do hope they loose. This has been a different world cup like for example what Colombia is doing they have never got this far before. They could go further and could upset Brazil.They have some fast players like Brazil.

I cannot let my emotions towards Brazil blind me. I know they have the most World Cups and are recognized as the best ever. There is a respect there for what they have done. The pressure is very intense and also believe it is curse to play at home. Away the pressure is not as high.

I dont want to be in their shoes. I just want someone else to win.

Because in Brazil football is like a religion. They are a poor country and football is about the only good thing there. Protests happen because many people think (and for good reason IMO) that money should be spent feeding people, providing health care and so on, instead of building football stadiums to host the WC.

 

I don't know why you want someone else to win, I would love to see them winning just for those people that live for football at such intensity.

I know it is like a religion and the protests you mention I totally agree with that. They spent I don't know how many billions and they moved people out of small homes or apartments and now they live in tent cities in the shadows of the stadiums. Also I heard the majority of the stadiums built are just for the world cup use and that is it.

What lunacy is that? Feed and help your people forget the other stuff. So I 100% agree with those protests. I thought you meant protests if they lost like looting, etc. I do not agree with that.

As for not rooting for them. I just never liked them. I am a fan of Spain although they sucked this cup and I like the US since I live here. I do like some other teams also.

Best of luck friend

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
