Is this one of the best World Cups ever?
That game between Argentina and Egypt was about as good as it gets towards the end.
This is how I play on matchday 28 — the first day of the quarterfinals.

World Cup Best Bet — Thursday, July 9
France vs Morocco
Morocco had a poor first half against Canada, but ultimately did enough in the second half to pull through. A slow start here will not treat it so kindly as France will take full advantage.
Give France a ton of credit for getting past a gross Paraguay squad, a team that didn’t even try to score. Morocco are certainly dangerous, but France have so much skill and depth that they should take a first-half lead and see it out.
Losing leading scorer Ismael Saibari is a huge deal for Morocco and I can see something like 2-0 or 3-0 France’s way.
Fallica’s Choice: 
France to win by 2+ goals (+160), France/France half time/full time (+130)
