What are the chances USA will do good? No one is picking them and my soccer friends say they are in the group of death.

Yeah they'll never get past Germany for sure unless there are two teams from each group. Then Portugal may be a problem for the number 2 slot so US should be out early.

I guess you are not really a follower of football then? [:D]

thas the problem with you. You're always "guessing" [:D] Mark my words and follow the outcome. US out first round my predictions. England also. [:D]

Mark your words? Really? [:D] I don't actually think guessing that the USA will not make it out of the group exactly puts you in the Nostradamus bracket - do you?

And England aren't exactly nailed on to survive either....

[warspite1]

Mmmmm may be not 2-0 to Brazil then [X(]

[warspite1]

Does anyone know exactly what Hulk brings to the party? I've never seen him have a good game????

Very good - but at least I know how the World Cup is structured.... and yes, its two teams progress from each group [:D]

[Frido1207]

Come on Croatia.

Oh my, hope this completely wrong penalty decision will not set the tone for the entire tournament.

I think that's called home advantage...... very poor decision. [:-]

[warspite1]

I thought Croatia can consider themselves unlucky.......

Weak refereeing. [&:]

[TulliusDetritus]

Yes, clearly not a penalty. As for the second Croatian goal, rules are clear: you cannot touch the GK in the small box. And Olic did touch him, from what I have seen.

The eternal discussion... As I see it, today they help you, tomorrow you will be their victim... And yes, I am talking about the good old referees terrorism

Video technology, as the Americans do. End of the problem.

I am pretty certain both Brazil and Croatia should make it to the next round. Everyone should be aware of this: what the Croatians have done on the last 2 decades is astonishing: small country consistently churning out world-class players [8D] This is really complicated.

Shame that anonymous Japanese referee made sure that Brazil won... non existing penalty (in Europe there would be tonnes of penalties in each game if such benign actions were sanctioned) and equalizer overruled (foul on heir goalkeeper that never was)... shame... real shame on FIFA (the same people who made that Qatar got the World Cup in 2022)... [:(]

BTW, Brazil was total disappointment - they stars only gave few "flashes"... with such gameplay they would not go far (unless the referees intervene again)...

Bad refereeing again, should have ended 3-0! Cameroon have some internal problems and seems that it has affected them badly.

There's a saying that goes "Brazil is Brazil", meaning they are special among national teams. You can never rule them out, they can be playing bad for 89 minutes and still manage to win the game, they can barely sum their needed point to advance and before you notice they're contenders for the title. They have some serious espirit d' corps and that verdeamarelha shirt is the most mystic, heavy, majestic, imponent of them all. Add to that Home advantage and you have the most predictable team to be on the final.

Any website that's showing this that doesn't cost an arm ana leg?

Spanish commentary. I don't know if its region blocked.

[TulliusDetritus]

Netherlands 5 - 1 Spain [X(]

Amazing the whole team. But specially Robben! Magnificent! [&o]

[warspite1]

Well.... that was a turnip for the books [X(]

End of an era for Spain, or just a really bad day at the office?

My bet is 1 - 2, Italy winning. "Italy is always Italy". Along with Brazil and Germany they are always there, goes to show they are 100% professionals [:)]
