Brasil 2014

I think Mexico has played the best futebal so far.......Australia just showed that the Netherlands are not as good as they looked in the first game and Chile just proved that.............
In a few years, the Socceroos are going to be a force to recon with.......

Second match of the day, and we have again a representative from Canada, the first one being Jonathan De Guzman on the Dutch team, and Joe Fletcher an assistant referee selected to work this match. Hopefully the whole referee crew does well so they will have a chance to advance in other matches.

Is that the German goalie?
 
You are absolutely right......

I am expecting more meltdowns........Brasil and Argentina are´still more of a mistery, specially Brasil........
 
Personally I don't see Argentina going too far. Messi is great, but he's not getting a lot of support.
Brazil doesn't seem unbeatable. Netherlands had a hard time today with Australia.
So far a few very pleasant surprises: Mexico, Chile. Italy is still quiet but they got their 3 points in the first game. Well, and there is Germany....
 
And don't forget the French. This is not the 2010 team, more like the 2006 team, and if they go all the way, they will look for a different result.

And there is also the Red Devils, lots of individuals talents, but they will have to synchronize. I think they will do it.

Lots of surprises coming in the next few days.

Canada has three representative at the Wold Cup, an assistant referee, Joe Fletcher he was on the line at the Spain V Chile this afternoon/evening's game.
Then we have, Jonathan Guzman, a midfielder with the Dutch team, and a goalkeeper, Asmir Bergovic with the Bosnia & Herzegovina's team.

<<>> Regarding football or soccer : Football is the right term, soccer is good as well.

What's more confusing is Football (touchdown), from America.

Who's got the right solution?

Heads will roll.. What a catastrophic collapse by Spain!!!!

The Orange might go all the way. They have the speed and strength and they seem well organized on the attack. Robben seems like a great motivator on the pitch.

And Mexico! Wow. Really an interesting competition so far. Love the Jabulani.
 
I agree, it's not that the Netherlands is a so so team, they faced one of the best team at the World. If Australia would of been in a different group, they might have finished in first place of their group. Too bad, sometime it's not fair.

The Netherlands are extremely strong at mid field with three well motivated up front strikers. However the defence will have to tighten up, I think the coach will see to that in the next match.

I agree. Their D is a weakness, but the goaltending makes up for it.

The dutch have been made to look good by their oponents. Nothing special. A couple of great players but i cant see them going all the way.

It would be great so see someone whomhas never won it before get there this time, mexico, chile, ivory coast.

Failing that its italy for me. Brazil dont have a team worthy of winning it, too little flair, very workmanlike.

But most likely it will be germany, which is ok by me.

All this assumes england dont suddenly come to life !! :thmbsp:
 
Côte d'Ivoire has one more to redeem itself, on the 24 June against Greece, and I think they are quite capable of taking that match.

Columbia on the other hand, just a cruising, already qualified, and will probably top their group. I think Columbia is a team to watch.
