Yea, Russia's group is suspiciously easy.

If I didn't know Putin to be a upstanding and honest guy, I'd almost suspect some shenanigans were afoot when the groups were randomized.:tomgirl:

The moment they play an actually GOOD team - expect Old Red to bunker down like cowards instead of fighting like the Cossacks they pretend to come off as so far.

Well, let's see what happens when they play Uruguay. If they fail to a middle-ranked team, it will be pretty apparent.

So all Falafel have been eliminated. Is anyone surprised by this?

Not quite yet. Tunisia has a theoretical chance to still go through (but they won't) and Iran has a not good, but realistic, chance to advance. They're persians, not arabs; but I assume they count as falafels still?

It's not exactly a huge upset, but I considering the weak group I wouldn't have been surprised to see Egypt take the second place behind Uruguay, considering how badly Russia had preformed leading up to the world cup.

But generally no. Kebabs/Falafels don't tend to do well against non-african teams.
 
Mexico 2 - 1 Korea

After surprisingly outdoing the Germans and this obviously easy, but entertaining enough win... Mexico are for Hades in the Knockout Stages. Sorry, Mexico - I just don't see you breaking that curse. You're just not good enough for that yet. Thanks for coming Korea... Farewell.

Fuck - I'm starting to miss Asalieri's commentary on all of this - too bad his team ain't doing well (Argentina), so I can see why he's reluctant to talk any sort of shit, now. GOOD - his input is more laughably sad than entertaining, honestly.
 
Germany to play Sweden this evening. I predict a shock upset due to Germany's failure to gel as a team.

Sweden Yes!

Trust me, I know.

One fun thing you can do: If you ever encounter a Serb Red Star Belgrade fan ask him if he's a gypsy. If he says no or even gets offended then tell him that he's no true "Delija".

Fair enough, I'll wait for an England win/draw with Panama for me to fully disqualify Tunisia. For the record, I used Falafel to refer exclusively to the Arab teams. The same weaknesses apply to the Iranians, but falafel they are not.
 
Germany not showing their usual edge. Lots of chanses, but they lack that last touch.

Will they start to waver under pressure now in halftime or can they show some of the famous german teamgeist?

EDIT: There's the equalizer.
 
Damn.
Well the Germans are best when the going gets tough.

Sweden can still go through by beating Mexico with at least two goals, or getting a better result against Mexico than what Germany achieves against South Korea (fat chance).

A good thing with this result is that South Korea has a technical chance to go through, by beating Germany and Mexico beating Sweden (with results high enough that S.Korea beats Sweden in goal difference).
 
FUCK YES
THEY ACTUALLY DID IT
can't believe I'm happy Germany of all countries didn't slip. That Kroos goal was a beauty. So glad Reus finally has a WC goal. I'm so happy, you guys, I can barely type. I'll add my thoughts of tomorrows games later, but fucking hell.
 
I feel bad for the Swedes. They played with so much more focus and were robbed out of penalty.

That being said I jumped out of my seat when Croos scored. That play was a work of art and who doesn't love a last second turnabout (esp when playing with just 10 men)?
 
I am not happy at all. We should have gotten that penalty shot in the first half. The referare was a moron.
edit. the reason why the swedish trainer went ballistic in the end, was two of the Germans were mocking him and the swedish team.

Tomorrow's games:
England-Panama
Japan-Senegal
Poland-Colombia

Unless England will yet again suffer the curse of "losing against small countries in embarrassing ways", 'Arry Kane should score easily. Japan-Senegal is more open, but I feel the latter has the edge. Japan won on a good deal of luck against Colombia (that early penalty and playing against 10 surely helped). They will have to prove themselves this match. Last game is a tough one, but I have to go with Colombia. I still think they're the stronger team and will work harder to get those three points.
 
Germany 2 - 1 Sweden

Dammit. I really would have preferred a WC where GER doesn't dominate. I swear, if GER vs. BRZ ends up being the final game, I'm turning that shit off right away - it would be the most boring, uninteresting final outcome ever. Too bad that's what where heading towards after this mess. Korea is fucked sideways for their last game, indefinitely.

As for THIS GAME right here...
It was a good saving shot at the last minute for Kroos, I'll admit that. However, I'm upset at hownfucking robbed Sweden was. They were the better team here, IMHO.

I would have loved to see them (SWE) get to Knockouts over Germany after seeing such good playomg from them, regardless of this loss. That ain't happening with Mexico gearing up to kick their asses next time.

See you for the next games, Kiwis. And so much for this tourney actually being somewhat interesting, knowing that BRZ and GET are going thru just fine, IMHO.
