Crazy things happen in football, see Costa Rica beating Italy and Uruguay and The Netherlands getting 9 points in 3 games with 10 goals scored and 3 against, 2 of which were very dubious penalties.

Crazy things can happen, sure, but I don't really see Portugal as much of a risk right now. A 5-point swing is enough to be a difficult task at least, especially since Ghana has plenty to play for too.

Oh, they'll beat Ghana by 4.


I mean, they should, but this Portugal team has some real issues to work through. The anger, the complete lack of teamwork to the extent that they keep running into one another... Fortunately, Pepe can play again, and his cool-headed leadership is sure to lead the team to victory.

Hey, Thomas Muler is a douche. You know who wouldn't headbutt Muller? Hitler.

Something like this. They haven't looked up to snuff, a blow-out victory would mean they really managed to pull things together in the last game. Ghana seems to be playing reasonably well also. Not that I couldn't Portugal winning, but winning like 2-1 seems more like what Portugal has been up to lately, as opposed to something like 5-1.

Oranje look great. Who do they likely get in Rd 16, I haven't really been paying attention. Mexico?

Most likely, but whoever comes out on top of the Mexico v. Croatia game (Mexico is through with a tie), unless you see Brazil melting down against Cameroon.

Mexico, Croatia or Brazil, depending on the results in Group A. Most likely is Croatia I think as I think they'll beat Mexico and Brazil will beat Cameroon.

Edit: The Dutch success is also looked at with a mix of disdain, snide remarks and happiness. The whole reactive/counter football is against our nature, we all want every single team ever to play like Spain or Barcelona at their best, defense through a good offense and keeping possession all the time.

Totaalvoetbal is fascistoïde. Also terribly boring for most spectators.

Croatia set pieces look like ****. On the other hand, they'll probably take 20 corners this game.

If it's going poorly later, Marquez will take a blade out of his headband and shiv someone. He's a pro.

I'm surprised more of them don't cut themselves like the WWE.

Damn that was a close shot.

You underestimae the ***** Dutch people have for totaalvoetbal/tiki taka. It's sacrilege to play 5-3-2 rather than 4-3-3, just the thought that fast passing and careful football aren't the main goal of the team is an insult to the Dutch football loving mind.



Also, I may have to come back on my Mexico vs Croatia prediction.

I dunno, I saw a picture of the US game and we had Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Teddy Roosevelt. I think Italy had some knights, but I was too pissed during that game to focus.

They are incapable of moving on to the next round but because it's a group phase every team has to play against every other team in the group for 3 matches each.

Partly this is to eliminate luck, partly to make sure everybody gets to play at least 3 times and the weaker teams don't just travel to the world cup for 90 minutes of play.
