Good day so far! My prediction of Japan surprising people with Germany not making it out of the group stages.. and Spain being my pick for the tournament, all looking good.
Spain were my picks for the tournament based on a good defence, a midfield that will dominate against any team in the world.. I mean, how’s anyone going to get the ball off Gavi, Pedri and Busquets? Their bench is full of talent too. My only concern was goals. Sure, it’s only one game against fairly weak opposition, and I think goals will still be a bit of an issue for them down the line. But yeah, good signs so far. Germany are going to have to go some to get a result next game.
Yeah, gotta take those wins when you can get them. I remember you picked Spain. Brazil might have what it takes.Good day so far! My prediction of Japan surprising people with Germany not making it out of the group stages.. and Spain being my pick for the tournament, all looking good.
Have to get that in now, it’ll probably be looking totally different after the second round of games
Germany are still well in it, don’t get me wrong. Ilkay+Kimmich+Goretzka+Musiala+Gnabry is nasty and likely the best 5 midfielders any country in the world has.
Looking forward to seeing what Brazil have, it’s a tough game against Serbia. England and Spain have looked the best so far, but the former doesn’t have what it takes imo. France looked good too, but too many injuries for me. Don’t think their midfield can compete with Spain and although the starters are good, they look thin on the bench. Coman is good, but after him? Thuram? That’s about it. Compare that with England bringing on Foden, Rashford and Grealish. Spain having Morata, Llorente, Koke, Williams, Pino etc..
So its the problem with the colors.
Right, combined with the national football association badge sewn on the jersey.
Sad.
Canada was a joy to watch. Good for the game that new and underrated nations are playin that well.
-are you talking about the Argentina match ????????
In the Second Half, Argentina did not play better than the Saudis.
I was not talking about Argentina. That being said. Its not a bad Example. I will say Canada outplayed Belgium the entire freaking game. In like every aspect. It didn't matter. I dont follow nor am an expert on all team sports. I will say I think that's one of the reasons soccer/ football is so frustrating to North Americans. You play better and you lose. I do think this happens in Hockey. It does. If you have goaltender that is in the zone it can happen in Ice Hockey. However, it is not as in your face as Soccer. Anyway on the other hand I think in some ways its what inspires the passion
it can happen in every kind of team sports, not only football, in tennis too, fed played better wimby final 19 but lost, for instance, i guess americans frustrating coz of 0 0 or 0 1 this kind of thing mainlyI was not talking about Argentina.

Didn’t manage to get to see them unfortunately. They were very good at the Euro’s last year, knocked France out in a thriller. Maybe they’re one of those teams who play to the level of their opponents.
They're just not a good team. Spain being a great team made them look as bad as they were.-what happened to Costa Rica??! omg
-its very surprising to me though
Yep wasn't a foul. The American broadcast refused to really show the replay.
Spain's broadcast showed the replay and were wondering why didn't the ref use the video. BTW, Ghana tied!
