Ran a Fifa 18 tournament simulation before the world cup started. (might as well use their AI algo's for a prediction)

Tunisia 1 England 0 :?
England 6 Panama 1
England 1 Belguim 2

England fail to make it to last 16.

So far it's predicted;

Russia win 3-1 (was 5-0, 2 late goals)
Egypt/Uruguay draw 2-2 (late goal)
Morocco/Iran draw 1-1 (late goal)
Portugal/Spain draw 2-2 (was 3-3)
France win 6-0 (was 2-1)
Argentina win 2-1 (was 1-1, messi missed pen)
Peru win 2-1 (lost 0-1)
Croatia win 3-0 (was 2-0)
Serbia win 1-0 (was 1-0)
Germany win 3-0 (lost 0-1, surprised most)
Brazil/Switz draw 0-0 (was 1-1)

Since winning the World Cup in 1966, England have beaten the following nations in World Cup knockout games: Paraguay, Belgium, Cameroon, Denmark and Ecuador
That's pretty amazing

Backing Sweden on that challenge in the penalty box would have got you in on them at 2.86 versus the 1.25ish or so after that penalty went in.

Sweden defend well, Germany got a task on their hand to just get out of the group

Belgium just like England. About 12 years behind. They should get over the line but they are no team imo.

They are letting Panama do what they like on the ball, totally wrong

The Russians are spraying "insecticide" from helicopters (BBC) to get rid of the midges and mosquitoes. Are there any members of the Porton Down team in the squad?

Typical England, unless they're 3-0 up with a minute to gi you never feel they've won the game

Only f England can do that. Positive to see them run off the pitch for half time...
