The Ghana game will be closer, because they are less likely to totally self-destruct than Portugal, but Germany will win it anyway


This is correct

This is the team I watched play the US yesterday? I think Germany should do ok in that match.

No one panic, no one "freak out." But there is only ONE team left in the tournament who will definitely beat us if we play them, as of today. No Spanish dickslap this year, boys.

Real relief, such a bummer to lose to Spain in the Eurocup and the WC. Soul crushing gently caress them.

I just hope not to have a repeat of 2006 with Italy. Would be interesting to see how teams adjust and how they confine Pirlo to see if the rest of Italy fall apart.

Hopefully?

The best way to confine Pirlo is to casually jog away from him, as demonstrated by Özil.

Pirlo is a defensive liability and was at fault for England's goal. Just get someone to run vaguely towards him all game and you'll score more than he'll create.

There's still plenty of time to get knocked out in the semis by a decent team so don't get your hopes up to high.

Okay so... Germany will finish 1st in thier group which means they will face either Russia or Nice Korea first in the knockout stage.

That means France in the quarterfinals....


Meanwhile Brazil will be facing Chile, will beat them, then probably face... oh my God Germany will probably have to play against Brazil in the semi-finals....

At this very early stage I think that would be a fair finish. But aren't Brazil typically late, slow starters? And haven't they like, never lost at home or something?

Given the small sample size, I don't think these statistics are meaningful.

Still, just going by results till now, it wouldn't surprise if the Dutch or Brazilians or Germans win the whole thing, while some other favorites surprised with bad results, Spain first among them of course.

They lost as recently as 2002

Also to point out the Netherlands knocked Brazil out in 2010 in an "upset" but I had predicted that one too

Oranje vs Germany for the finals. It would be poetic too, 40 years after the 1974 Final

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

It has been a single game against a (on that day) terrible side. We are the kings of barely making it out of the group after a superb first effort so wait with your predictions until the KO games at least.

I can't believe both Spain and England got eliminated before we even played our second game. Surreal.

Defense was bad, offense was unlucky/inept. Rather have this happen now than in the KO games, we'll bounce back like we always do. Also a draw against USA is enough to advance (someone correct me on this if I'm wrong but I think I played through every scenario) and lol if we can't manage that. I expect us to win though, as always in game 3.
