Gbandeh's FIFA World Cup quarter-final predictions
On the Morocco versus France fixture, Gbandeh, in his Facebook post, described it as a contest between two excellent sides. He predicted neither team would settle the tie within 90 minutes or in extra time, foreseeing a penalty shootout in which France would ultimately fall short and be eliminated from the tournament.
For Spain against Belgium, he was more decisive, backing Spain's possession-based style to assert dominance and secure victory in regular time, sending Belgium home.
The England versus Norway match was, in Gbandeh's view, the hardest to call. He predicted a draw after 90 minutes but saw Norway progressing, dealing Harry Kane and his teammates a shock early exit.
On the final quarter-final between Argentina and Switzerland, Gbandeh acknowledged that the Swiss would push the defending champions hard, matching them throughout. He still backed Argentina to find a winning moment in extra time, with their talisman proving the difference, but saw Switzerland going no further.
