World Cup


Final Four Countdown

The FIFA World Cup of Football in Russia has been riveting and full of surprises. 

Least of which is that most of the favored National Teams fell by the wayside 
early on in the series.  Germany, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, Brazil and Uruguay.
In most cases the "experts" were wrong and the favorites tumbled. 

Others such as Japan, Sweden and Mexico played well but fell short too. 

What we have now are two strong teams France and England as well as two
very unexpected but equally tough contenders; Belgium and Croatia.  

All four challengers are European Union members; two Britain and Belgium are monarchies too.  

England's smooth and spirited win against Sweden and Croatia's breathtaking 
penalty kick victory over Russia set the tone for yet more surprises.  

EXPECT the UNEXPECTED!!!

Don't count out Belgium nor Croatia.

On 15 July in Moscow, the World Cup is decided.
