Jesus hes messed up.

Some high drama in that Argentina game but boy, are they horrible for a "good" team. I can believe how many corners / crosses didn't even make it past the first defender. Or guys just bungling the ball out of bounds.

The bracket is shaping up to be one of the most lopsided in history. Already France, Portugal, Argentina and Uruguay, and possibly Germany and Brazil. We might see a lot of own goals in the England Belgium game this Thursday!

Oh man

I dunno. Belgium were on the "easy" side of the bracket at Euro 2 years ago and they got walloped by mighty, uh, Wales.

Maybe they prefer the challenge this time.

RIP, man. Everyone take a breather.

Today's prediction: Mexico fluffs it against Sweden, Germany wins big against SK to take first.

Germany in trouble again. Sweden 1-0 Mexico.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

So, Sweden's gonna win the group lol

Germany in trouble again. Sweden 1-0 Mexico.

If South Korea had anybody else close to to the talent of Son, they'd be winning this game.

I'll say it again, Singaporian bookies are the best.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

If South Korea had anybody else close to to the talent of Son, they'd be willing this game.

Yup. They have had the better chances for sure.

Low is on that end-of-the-line run that so many national team managers wind up going through when they stick around too long. Weird decisions, loyalty to the wrong guys, eating boogers out of the wrong nostril...

Timo Werner should not have started the second game, let alone this one.

How much Loew time will be given if it's still nil-nil in the 90th minute?

Mexico down 3-nil and would be eliminated if Germany score.

And at what point do they push Neuer all the way forward?

 

[esls79]

Mexico down 3-nil and would be eliminated if Germany score.

They would have been eliminated down 2-nil if Germany score as well I believe.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Just gonna say for the inevitable moment when Germany score that the fact FIFA's tiebreaking mechanism goes goal differential & goals scored before H2H record is incredibly stupid.

UEFA uses H2H for Euro, btw.
