    First quarter final of the tournament, who do you think is going through to the semi final?

    Backing Uruguay because I've got them in the TC sweepstake. Cavani will be a huge loss though. Griezmann v Godin will be a key battle.

    Genuinely think Uruguay will have enough to beat France, they're so solid at the back, got Godin who's been the standout defender in the tournament while France showed a lot of poor defending in the thriller vs Argentina, expect Cavani and Suarez to punish them.

    If Cavani wasn’t a doubt I’d back Uruguay.

    Think this is going to be a 1-1 draw after 90 mins with France winning on penalties.

    Only France can beat France who have the most talented squad in the world, any side that takes them on direct will be beaten.
    Sit back and frustrate and hope to ride your luck as lucky Portugal did in Euros, and they can be beaten.
    France will win this game though

    Big soft spot for Urugauy but the head says France. They have all the momentum they need now.

    Uruguay won't give Mbappe the space that the Argentina defence gave him. If Cavani is fit to play, then I fancy a Uruguay win. If not, I think France will sneak it.

    I fancy Uruguay, they have a brick wall for a defence and Suarez and Cavani up top. Formidable.

    Cavani having his big World Cup game to remember then getting injured is the most Cavani thing.

    Suarez is the main man anyway although in saying that if Stuani is the backup that’s an enormous leap down in quality.
