Croatia to win.

 

[Ansatsuken]

Damn Germany play very bad. Their player position is bad, ball control technique is bad, look heavy when running. They seem looked old before their age. Loew needs to change their formation. Germany players sit too high and when Mexico long passes came inside their half they failed to cover it quickly.

What with Boateng always wasting the ball. Everytimes he gets the high ball he then kicked the ball too far and high without any sense of direction. It actually not good for Germany's attacking build up. I followed his style of playing and that's how he plays typically. Actually when I saw he is playing with Germany I became so nervous.

Still have fate with Germany but for this year WC I will go with my first fav Brazil.

Great day for football indeed. Most of the matches were entertaining for sure, and had more spunk than I thought beforehand. Croatia 2-0 Nigeria the only result I've predicted 100 percent correctly so far but most of the other matches have been close to what I expected as well so not too shabby. 5 penalties in 4 matches and it could perhaps have been at least two more, I find that fact to be kind of crazy, especially considering 2 of those 5 were missed (Messi's included). That Peru penalty gave me flashback to Zaza's penalty for Italy in the Euro two years ago, lol.

For tomorrow I'll probably be skipping Costa Rica - Serbia while I'm at work for Germany and Brazil's matches, sigh, but I expect the two latter to be complete thrashings in any case.

Match Predictions;

Costa Rica 0-0 Serbia.

Germany 3-1 Mexico

Brazil 3-0 Switzerland.

Germany should be 5-0 Mexico

Brazil 4-1 Switzerland

MEXICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So glad they won, was on the edge of my seat those last 15 minutes as Germany pushed them hard. Honestly they're so passionate, Crying at the end when they realised they beat Four Time World Champions Germany in their first match. Excellent Game, Mexican Goalkeeper was as usual a fucking Gem.

 

[Cooh]

Ye, Germany arent going to win it this year. That was a pretty poor performance.

Today Germany reminds me of Brazil 2006 WC. How? Brazil in 2006 WC played Croatia in their first group game. We know that Brazil is defending WC champion. Having won it in 2002 WC. The story is exact same way as today. Brazil getting outclassed in game play by underdog Croatia but still able to win that match with one beautiful curve goal from Kaka.

But Germany not just getting outclassed by Mexico but unable to find a single goal. So terrible.

Well Brazil was asking for it. Between the 10th and 20th minute it seemed Brazil was going to in overdrive which culminated into that magnificent goal of Coutinho...and then they just stopped. I was almost expecting a butchering and they just quit.

Granted there were some iffy referee-calls, but seriously they brought this upon themselves.

 

[Ansatsuken]

What is the point of VAR when you not gonna use it?

 

[David1996]

Ahhh this WC is pretty good so far!

We were totally off the mark today my friend, none of my predictions were even close, lol.

MEXICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah, haha, I overestimated the both of them really, or rather, underestimated Mexico and Switzerland maybe. Although I didn't see the matches because of work I read that at least Mexico won fairly, could even have won by more.

Ye, Germany arent going to win it this year. That was a pretty poor performance.

Sees like they're inspired by Spain from 4 years ago, lol.

Lmao, at this rate maybe we'll lose Brazil, Germany, Argentina and France at the group stages, imagine that XD

It's still to early to call of course, but I do expect at least one Group Stage upset at this World Cup as well, maybe even two.

Go Tunisia!

 

[ArabianLuffy]

I hope Uruguay scores 10 on Saudi Arabia. It's going to be hilarious.

 

[Michael92]

Ugh, can't sleeeeeep.... Is it time for Sweden - South Korea yet, lol. I'm kind of curious to see how Sweden will play as I haven't seen them since Zlatan retired, but I hear that they've been coping well without him. If I could, I would have bet 1000 Kumis (remember those? xd) on Zlatan being caught by a camera under the match, because I'm certain he will be there to watch, haha.

Back to sleep I guess...

Either way would be fine by me since I don't have a bet in right now, lmao xd But at the end of the day, I do have a bet on Group Winners and England is one of them, so they better not fail as well, haha.

Sweden match now is going to be much fun
