Very exciting first game of the 2026 World Cup. Absolute dominance from Mexico. South Africa was terrible. No other way to put it. Insane three red cards in the second half. Williams played well in goal for South Africa but the rest of the team sucked. Mora got in and had some chances. I hope the refs will not be as strict in the future because that was kinda ridiculous on the Mexican red card. This group is going to be fun! So so so so so much more drama to come. It’s only game one! Long way to go, let’s get ready for game two in a couple hours. Mexico wins!

You could hate on the first half with little chances and no goals. Son had so many chances to score and completely put this game on ice. But Czechias goalie played strong and kept them in it. Czechia played their brand of football. sit back and defend then ramp everything up and try to get a goal. they had the hight advantage in this one being up to 5 inches taller than almost everyone on South Korea. SK played good, I was happy with how they went after loose balls and fight against a bigger and stronger. SK goalie made some game winning saves for sure. great game lets see more of this!

Congrats to Canada for getting their first ever World Cup point! They certainly could have gotten a couple more but Bosnias defense was outstanding. The center backs blocked everything in front definitely saving them the game and holding onto the draw. Canada had so so so many chances to score but Bosnia would not let it happen. Balls were being deflected of the bar I mean it was truly impressive how many blocked shots there were. 3 of the 4 Bosnia defenders all got 8.0+ on their performance according to FotMob. Canada was struggling on winning physical battles and all air battles. This Bosnia team proved that they are here to stay and want to leave their mark on the 2026 Word Cup. Great atmosphere from the Canadians. We are just getting started with the World Cup so let’s keep it going!

OK everyone listen up. this game should have been 8-1. Very poor passing in the second half and so many missed chances. Yes I know we absolutely belted this poor Paraguay national team but I don't care. We should not have allowed that goal. back to the passing, that was really bad in the second half. Sometimes you gotta be selfish and SHOOT THE DAMN BALL. If we played Belgium tomorrow we would lose 5-2 again. AND the score was really 1-3 because there was a damn own goal. Its Bullshit how we are going to think that we are ready for these big teams. we cant hit a wide open net IN THE WOLRD CUP! I'm sooo sooo sooo sooo sooo happy with the three points. that sooo sooo sooo huge but this felt like It could have been 0-6. again everyone lets be delusional! Just like Sublime said, "Love is, its what I got" lets love our team and country. come on America baby! USA USA USA USA USA USA! the next games are only going to be harder so get ready everyone!

What a freaking weird game. Qatar had one of the worst attacks I’ve seen since the 2022 World Cup by the same damn team. If I’m Switzerland this is utterly humiliating. They were DOMINATING the entire game. Chance after chance after chance for Switzerland and they never got it done. Truly incredible. I never thought this was going to tie. I mean Qatar is ASS! ASS! I’m not even going to try to spell Qatars goalies name but that man was absolutely incredible. 10000000% he is player of the game. Big save after big save, he was turning everything aside. Against all odds, Qatar scored in the 95th minute to tie this game up one to one. Imagine if that penalty was offside and Qatar won this game… I’d pass out. 3 more games to go let’s keep it moving!

I should have gone with my gut. Deep down inside of me I knew Australia was going to win. Turkey took way way to many shot outside the box. They probably took 10 long shots. They did have their chances but they never went down. The Australian goal keeper played great and definitely kept his team in the game. Some clutch goal scoring both Australia to put the game away late in the match. I watched soccer for 10 hours and 56 minutes yesterday. I can’t wait to do it again today. It’s the World Cup everyone.

A very fair draw. Both teams had their chances. Mohammad Salah birthday was today and he gets a birthday assist. Belgium probably could’ve won for the same time could’ve lost. Egypt is way way better than I expected them to be. Definitely got to make that adjustment in my pickems. I could be wrong, but I think Egypt has tied every game they’ve played in the World Cup. So like 7 or 8 games. Both teams get a well deserved point. Lukaku Belgium’s all time leading scorer helped create an own goal. Emam Ashour had a great goal. Kevin de Bruyne almost had a game winning goal but it hit the post. Both goalies were very strong. This group is wide open. Two games two draws. Let’s see if we can get a winner next.

I really enjoyed this game. Saudi Arabia came out firing in the first half. I was almost caught off guard by how well Saudi played in the first half. But that half was all Uruguay. They had like 10 corners in the last 15 minutes. Saudis defense held strong but oh my fucking god Mr Owais have yourself a freaking day my man. He absolutely BALLED out. He was definitely the player of the game. He had some ginormous saves late in the match. This was definitely the game of his life, I’ve never heard of this man before this game. The goal tenders have been fantastic these past three games today. Three games three ties on the lovely World Cup Monday. I’m taking the draw against Mew Zealand and Iran.

We have the fourth draw of the day! this one was by far the most existing one. We all know what Iran is dealing with outside of football, so I'm not going to talk about that. They played great for not playing in a game since February. They went down two times and climbed back to tie the game. big point for Iran. New Zealand came in as the worst team going off of FIFA rankings ranked at 85th in the world. they have also played poor teams getting to the world cup. Wood had another great game getting two assists. Tim Payne did not do well having a match of 6.3 on fotmob. Ill be looking for hat tricks in the next couple matches. I was impressed with both teams and how they played. I finally got a pick right today hopefully I can get back on track. I should be tied for second now, lets hang on and get this badge baby. day 5 of the world cup has come to an end. see you tomorrow everyone.

Without mendy this could have been a blow out. France played a meh first half but that second half was great. I watched this with some friends, they had no clue what was going on. I had to explain everything to them. A very enjoyable game. Glad we got a winner and it was not a draw like the past couple games.

Props to Jordan, they played so much better than I anticipated. Austria had some banger goals especially the one in the first half. Jordan scared me at first when they were kinda in control of the game for a while. This could have been 1-5 but a big save from Jordan’s goalie and a goal taken away because of a handball. I enjoyed this game, something about it ending at 2 am just made it cooler to watch. Austria had higher expectations than Jorden to go deeper in the tournament.

After the first 10 minutes it was all Portugal but as the game went on Congo kept responding and got their VERY FIRST World Cup goal. Absolutely ZERO reason Ronaldo should have been on for 90+ minutes, I would have not even started him and if I put him on it would be in the 80th minute. Portugal is better without him and it’s not even close. A huge point for the Congo, Wan-Bissaka was incredible in this game. I remember him playing for Man U and I loved having him there, now he plays for westham in the championship. This game was incredible, I would have lost my shit if Bruno Fernandez scored that shot.

Back to back banger games! This was the highest scoring game so far of the tournament. England took the lead very early off of a Harry Kane penalty. Croatia responded in the 36th minute tying the contest at one a piece. Harry Kane would score another goal off of a Declan Rice corner kick but Croatia responded right before half time once again, tying it up. But England came out firing, not even two minutes in Jude Bellingham scored to give England the lead and they never looked back. I think with the result of this game, England has won the group. Harry Kane was fantastic scoring two goals and blocking shots, he really did it all today. England might have one of the best offenses in the tournament. There’s a chance it might actually be becoming home everyone. Pickford had a decent game, his arms are so short. I pick my pick right so we might be back, I need Panama to LOCK in and beat Ghana then I’m right back in it.

Let me contain myself… deep breaths, everyone. Ok being realistic this game was just not good in my opinion. Sloppy play all around. Neither team can figure out what to do offensively and just look like they were guessing in the midfield. I still think Panama is a better team, Ghana didn’t necessarily play great but neither team did. Panama could not get a single cross together. I loved the Ghana fans they looked like they were a great bunch to be around. Panama fans are left depressed and devastated. The biggest chance for Panama was in the third minute. My picks are in trouble, I needed this one. Hopefully we can bounce back, I never had Ghana winning so I’m not that upset but still.

Czechia’s gotta score more than one goal. Your lead is not safe when it’s 1-0. South Africa is a good team but they don’t play well together as a group. Czechia’s gotta be disappointed with this result, they needed the three points and now they are going to have to beat Mexico to have a chance at advancing. South Africa will have to take down a great South Korean squad to possibly advance to the knockouts. I did not think this game would be a draw, I’m kinda surprised. I had Czechia but they did not really feel like scoring today I watched this off my phone, bad experience, lots of lag and freezing. Onto the next.

Disappointing game, I really expected this to be a banger. It should have been ended 0-0 but that weird dropped ball by the South Korean goalie made it 1-0. The Koreans had a huge chance in the 87th minute but somehow that shot did not go in. Mexico officially makes it to the knockouts! South Korea will not be far behind. All they have to do is beat South Africa, that’ll be an easy win for them. This game was kinda boring in my opinion.

Morocco scored within two minutes and that was all the scoring. Scotland had some chances late in the game but it feels like they kinda gave up in added time and starting flopping looking for calls. The Scottish fans will be very disappointed with this loss. They are going to go against Brazil to have a chance of making it through. If they can beat Brazil they are home free, if they draw then it will be close if they get though, if they lose they are most likely out. Morocco takes the lead in the group and will probably top the group. They will definitely beat Haiti no problem. Just goes to show how important that first game was against Brazil. Hopefully Scotland can get through I really enjoy watching them. I went for a shot picking draw solely off of vibes. If I can finish in the top ten that’ll be awesome for me.

I was hoping Haiti would score a goal last game or this game, I really really hope they net one against Morocco. That would be awesome. I’m happy for Placide. That dude waited for years to make it to the World Cup, he got here on his last season before hanging it up. Brazil needs to beat Scotland in order to be sure to claim a spot in the knockouts.

Well Turkey embarrassed themselves with this one. I had them topping this group before the tournament started and now I don’t know if they will score a goal. Extremely frustrating if your Turkey fan. Paraguay gets a much needed win to keep their tournament hopes alive. Julio Enciso was the player of the game assisting the game winning goal and had a match average of 8.6. Galarza scored the only goal in the second minute. The Atlanta United man Miguel Almiron got a red card but it did not stop Paraguay from winning. I still expected Turkey to win, it was a close game in the end. I went 2-4 on picks yesterday I think. Im down to 34th 😭 I used to be 6th at one point and tied for first after the first three days.

Very entertaining 0-0 draw. Despite 23 shots Belgium still can’t score a goal. It’s been around 400 minutes since we last saw a Belgium goal that was not an own goal. I really underestimated Iran, huge props to them. They have to deal with so much off pitch drama. Belgium really dominated this game though. They controlled possession and kept having shots even down a man, I think Belgium could have won if they did not get a red card but who really knows. They still had chances without him. It’s crazy Kavin De Bruyne is a couple weeks away from 35. He grew up so fast 🥹 I knew this game was going to draw but I picked Belgium this morning for god knows what reason.

I watched the last couple minutes on my phone at a baseball game then watched the highlights later on. I was shocked Cape Verde managed to draw this game. After going up 1-0 Uruguay scored two goals right before the half and I thought that would be it. The experience and skill would take over and Cape Verde would be in trouble. But that simply did not happen. Verde came out and scored to tie it up in the 60th minute. After that Uruguay did everything they could to try to score. They had so many opportunities but none of them would go in. Crazy game until the final whistle. I had draw but I decided to go back to Uruguay and I’m not upset with that pick.

Some late chances from Iraq but they would ultimately not matter. Would I go again to a World Cup game? Yes absolutely, this was an incredible experience I’ll never forget.

Jorden got started with a first half goal that they held onto until half time. Algeria dominated possession and basically every first half stat other than the most important stat the score. Jorden is now 0-2 but they have put up fights in all their matches. Unfortunately they are going up against Argentina for their last group stage game and they will not be an easy game. Algeria gets a much needed win. They will play Austria next, that game will be very interesting and important. I’m really excited to watch that one. My group J picks are still alive!

He sent that 100,000,000 miles over the bar with a chance to win. Shoutout to the Ghana goalkeeper because he just got a new fan. (Me I’m his new fan) kinda disappointing from England, they should win this. Croatias defense might have a terrible defense. I’m happy for Ghana this should guarantee a trip to the knockouts. On one side of the table huge draw and the other side, very disappointing draw. I had England all the way.

Fun little game to get me through the middle of the day. Panama has officially been eliminated from the World Cup after they play England. Croatia looks disappointed to be completely honest. A second half goal is really what saved Croatia from possible elimination. If they drew in not sure if they would have made it through. Ghana looks good. Shoutout to the Croatia goalie, he absolutely saved the game for the Croatians. Made huge save after huge save. Big game coming up. Ghana-Croatia. I had Croatia all the way. Would have been a national embarrassment if they lost this game. God help the Congo draw. My picks need this.

Switzerland tops the group with Canada close behind! Not a disappointing performance from Canada, nothing wrong with second place. I feel asleep at the end of the first half and woke up in the 60th minute so I missed both Switzerland goals. Canada got one back late and made it interesting but they could not get that last goal they needed. Good goalkeeping from the Switzerland keeper. I went back and worth on who to pick but I ultimately went back to Switzerland, I felt that they would come in ready. I thought this would be a 3-2 game but 2-1 it is.

I feel asleep and missed the Qatar goal. I only saw one goal and I it was the first Bosnia goal. BOSNIA TO THE KNOCKOUTS!! Another disappointing World Cup from Qatar. These guys sucked! They did not deserve to be in the next round or even deserve to draw against Switzerland. I still don’t know how they did that. I had Bosnia the whole way, if they lost I’d be pissed not for my picks but for the country. I hope they can do good in the knockouts. Good luck to them!

I was absolutely glued to my TV throughout the entire match. Right after that chance from Congo in the first minutes it was only a matter of time before Colombia scored. They scored 3 or 4 goals but they were all taken away because of offsides. After the Colombia goal in the 76th minute Congo went on an all out attack trying to get a goal. They had one real shot on goal and fully thought it was going in but a fantastic save by Vargas. I was disappointed that this game ended without DR Congo getting any points. But this was a great game. So many chances turned aside by the RD Congo goalkeeper, he made some great stops. I took a risk and went for draw, I was right most of the game. But, I was wrong and fall back down to 21st place. Not ideal but we will bounce back. Hopefully Congo can beat Uzbekistan. I’ll be watching for that!

Before I say anything else the fight and grit Haiti showed in this game and this World Cup was absolutely incredible. I was inspired just watching them hang with Morocco. The Haiti goalkeeper can rest knowing he made it to the World Cup and did his best with his national.
Morocco wins a thriller! They definitely were on upset alert from this Haiti national team. I had Morocco all the way.

Mexico defends their home field and takes down Czechia and stays 3-0 in group play, they top group A. Czechia is out of the world cup and will not be going to the knockouts. Mexico scored three goals in the second half. I wish Czechia did better and made it out of the group they are a very fun team to watch. I Had Mexico topping group A and I had them winning this game. good picks

South Africa MOVES ON TO THE KNOCKOUT! that was not on my bingo card this year! What a turn of events from their first game against Mexico to kick off the tournament. South Korea is living a nightmare, this was their biggest fear. possibly getting grouped. Son was terrible ok, lets be honest. he was very disappointing, south Korea needed more from him. I had south Korea winning this game, Im shocked they lost. south africa was just better. 5/6 today. pretty good

Man I should have picked Ecuador! I had them until 10 minutes until kickoff then I switched. Germany scored like 2 minutes into the game the. Ecuador tied it 7 minutes later. Then another goal came in the 77th minute for Ecuador and that was that. Unfortunately I’ve been wildly busy today and did not watch either of the group E finale games. I’ll be able to watch the USA tho. Hopefully Germany can lock in for the Knockout rounds.

Shoutout to Tunisia for scoring two goals this World Cup. I seriously did not see them doing that. The Netherlands breezed through this game with ease. They scored 2 goals in 10 minutes then let off the gas and cruised to a calm victory in the end. They will advance. Tunisia on the other had is eliminated. They should be proud they made it this far. They need more offensive players and a completely new defensive system. I had Netherlands all the way easy pick.

Sweden force a draw! I was simply not expecting this from Sweden at all. I know I say shoutout a lot but shoutout to those four Swedish guys who I met on an elevator in Philadelphia, I’m sure they enjoyed this much more than I did. Japan still looks like a very strong team, they had chances to win but at the end it was not to be. Both teams should advance to the knockouts. I had Japan, I kinda wanted to pick draw but I felt like Japan would get it done. They obviously did not, no biggie I got this.

Being 100% honest I could not care less that we lost. I kinda expected us to. We started the bench and subbed in some of the starters in late in the second half. I liked how when Matt Tuner got the ball he’d immediately run and throw it to someone to spark the counter attack. Christian Pulisic (I hope I spelt his name correctly) made a big impact whenever he got put in. I thought he scored that ball he shot but obviously it was wide. Listen, we got fucked on the counter attack, I know that’s a harsh way to but it but it’s true. That lost goal that the US gave up is completely unacceptable. You gotta get some kinda hit on the ball and get it the hell outa there. Again, I’m not upset we lost. I’m actually happy we did so we can learn from it while we still can before we won’t the have chance to lose again. I had Turkey for days but my American pride took over and picked freedom. Very very bad day for my picks. We will rebound. Go America! Bosnia, get ready. 🇺🇸-🇧🇦

God why did I pick Australia! Neither team wanted to win. They wanted to cruise to a draw and go to the knockouts. Which at the end of the day I respect. I mean you’ve done the hard work, just draw and move on. But it makes for a terrible game for the fans. This was the worst game of the tournament. I’d rather watch Germany win 7-1 again than watch this. I’m not upset at no goals that’s fine. It’s the fact nobody was trying. Very odd game but this won’t happen again because we are done with group D and we are heading to the knockouts. I had Australia for some dumb reason. I forgot both teams could just draw and the game would end with both teams happy. Very bad day for my picks I gotta be better tomorrow.

Disappointing from Norway but I expected this result without their main guys starting. France is a powerhouse, hats off to Dembele for I hat trick in around 30 minutes. Very impressive. I still think France is the team to beat, I don’t see them losing. Norway has really impressed my so far. I say that as they lose 4-1 😂. I had France all day and I’ll pick them to win every game they play.

I feel for Iraq and their fans, getting destroyed on ALL of your games and not even scoring a goal in sad. @FlameRaptorRaven made a Did You Know about them and he summed it up pretty well. Go check it out. Senegal gets a much needed win and gets some of their goal differential back. Senegal is such a good team, it sucks they were put in such a difficult group. Hopefully they have a good knockouts if they make I honestly don’t know if they even can I gotta check the standings. I had Senegal all day easy pick, I’m still really high on them.

Yes I listened to this game and I had no freaking clue what was happening in the last 10 minutes. That was straight chaos. Iran won then they didn’t then they hit the cross bar like twice after being .001 inches offside. Huge props to Iran they have a great team, it sucks they never picked up a win. Egypt is very lucky to escape this game with a point. Very exciting game to listen to, I’d never really pick to listen to a soccer game again but it was fun. I had draw until the last minute when I switched to Egypt for god knows what reason. I’m 13th now on the leaderboard so that’s cool.

They actually played pretty good except this game, I’m happy for them. Unfortunately they are going home tho. They goals they scored was to little to late. I’m not sure how I feel about Belgium in the knockouts. I feel like they could lose really fast and that would be it again or they could go on a little run. I had Belgium all day, they were always gonna score and beat New Zealand in my eyes. Easy pick.

Uruguay seemed to be playing for a draw but when you do that you have a pretty big chance of losing off of one little mistake and that’s exactly what happened. I feel for the Uruguay goalkeeper, that’s a straight cookie you gotta save my brother. But mistakes happen we are all human. Spain is not looking to convincing to win the championship like they have been talked about. Yea they are still incredibly talented and probably will still make the finals or semifinals I don’t see them winning. As yall probably know im huge kn France, they’d lose to France. I had Spain all the way, looking back picking draw probably would have been better but who knows. Glad it worked out.

Going into this game I was so positive that this game would end 0-0. I was absolutely certain, and somehow I had right. Cabo Verde goes through to the knockout stages! They are the third smallest nation to ever advance I think, it’s something like that I’m not entirely sure. Very tough game for Saudi as they are eliminated from the tournament after this draw. Looking back they had to hold on to that game against Uruguay but they gave up a goal. I’m not even sure if Uruguay will make it out earthier. Another clean sheet for our man Vozinha. He had a 7.7 on FotMob and made three saves. Again I had draw all day, easy pick. Go with your gut everyone because if not I’d probably be 40th because I over think literally everything.

A sloppy game in MetLife Stadium goes to England. Panama held England to no goals throughout the first half but Bellingham and Kane scored in the 62 and 67th minute to put England over the hump. It’s coming home again, start the parade! This could have been a lot worse if Panama wasn’t pretty solid at defense. Unfortunately the Panama National team has been eliminated from the knockout rounds. Pickford and his short arms get a clean sheet. I had England and everyone else did too. Number 41 correct!

Croatia advances to the knockouts! Ghana already had gotten their ticket to the next round because of the work they’ve previously done. After Ghana scored I thought for sure this would end in a draw. But, Croatia had other plans. Then they took the lead in the 86th ish minute. Kinda bummed I wanted my pick to be correct but it’s ok. I’ll be fine 🫠🫠🫠
Ghana just ran outa gas towards the end there. Kinda disappointing for the Ghana fans since they were so close to a draw. Again I had draw, so close but so far. That would have been a huge win for me if I got it right. Starting to run out of time with over half the tournament gone. Hopefully I can string some picks together.

Holy absolute shit what a game! Austria got started early with a quick goal then Algeria started to apply the pressure. One shot hit the post, that would have been crazy if that went in. Then they tied it at one and went to half. Then both sides scored to tie it at 2-2 then complete HELL broke loose in the 90+ minute with two goals that tied it back up at 3-3! Game of the tournament so far. I got that freaking achievement LETS GOOOO!!! I did not think I was going to get it but the draw worked out! Huge day for me.

Absolutely not shortage of action in this 0-0 draw. Both teams had soooo many chances to break the deadlock but it was not to be. Bruno came soooo close with that shot in the box, he smashed the thing right at the goalie! If he put it anywhere else that would be a certain goal. Take Cristiano Ronaldo out of the game when after the 75th minute. There is absolutely zero need for him to play all 90 minutes and some. In the knockouts he probably will continue to play the entire game because portugal’s manager is to scared to take him out. Colombia takes group K! Congrats to them!

I mean that was fantastic! Jordan’s stay at the World Cup has come to an end. At least they stayed semi competitive. Argentina no goes on to play Cape Verde in the round of 32.

THE CONGO ADVANCES TO THE WORLD CUP KNOCKOUT ROUNDS!!!!!!! After going down 1-0 almost immediately they had to lock back in and chase the game for like 70 minutes. I was doubting towards the end if they could get it down. Missed chance after missed chance. But one, just one penalty was all they needed. Then the Congo take over happened. Some brilliant goals from Wissa and a goal to take the lead in the 78th minute from Mayele. Uzbekistan has been eliminated from the World Cup. Congrats to them for scoring their first couple goals. The DR Congo has to play England… I’m not excited for that game to be honest. That might be a shit show but I hope they can get it done. Let’s go Congo!

OHH CANADA! 🇨🇦 The Canadians take the first game of the round of 32 and stun South Africa in the 90+1 minute. They had been knocking all game and finished it off with a bottom corner strike. I feel horrible for the South Africans. They have come such a long way since that Mexico game. Really disappointing result for them. Williams showed so much emotion throughout the tournament making great saves along the way. Sucks they are going home. But Canada not! A magical story if you compare their 2022 team to this years team. No points in 22 and the last 16 in 26!

God damn I wish I could have watched the second half! I’m in the smoky mountains rafting and rolling around in the river water.
Japan took an early lead and put Brazil on the ropes. I watched the highlights and game recaps, all that fun stuff so I have an understanding of how it went. That former 🥺 Man U man scored to tie it up then just like that in the 95+ 5 Japans tournament was over. Very sad that their road has ended there. Both teams are very good. I personally think Japan is better than the 18th they are ranked. I was back on forth with Japan and Brazil but at the least couple hours I switched and stayed with Brazil. I’m fully in this fight for the badge. Lock in everyone let’s go win.

Morocco survives! They controlled, no they basically dominated this game with 70% possession and lots of chances at goal. They gave up a counter attack goal in like the 70th minute to go down 1-0 but in the 90+1 we saw a absolutely fantastic header go right into the net then saw a cold stare right into the crowed. The Morocco supporters were clapping and singing all game, they were fantastic. The Netherlands were not themselves in this game. They played out of formation, lacked the ball, just overall lacked control. Speaking of control that ref had absolutely no control over this game. I was not impressed with his work at all. When the game went into penalties it seemed like the Netherlands were more confident. But, Morocco took. Penalty and it was saved but the Netherlands goalie kicked it in to his own goal on accident. I felt and feel so sick for that man. He was fantastic all game and for their tournament to basically end like that is awful. Fantastic game my personal favorite.

France came to play, they dominated Sweden never letting them have a real chance to win. France could have won by 6 with how many chances they had. Olise had two assists and almost the one of the greatest World Cup goals ever seen but the post did not allow it. Mbappe or the dictator scored another two goals. This France attack is nothing short of spectacular. This is one of the best teams we’ve seen in a while, especially of this tournament. Again this is the best team in the tournament. Spain and Argentina don’t stand a chance. Those Swedish dudes I met in that elevator have to been torn apart by this defeat. Easy pick I’ll take France over any team.
