Nice match coming up in 5'....Germany vs Mexico

Germany's defense was shaky against Austria and they eventually lost 2-1 (friendly match couple weeks ago). Let's see if they improved

Germany 0-1 Mexico
World champions lose opener against a surprisingly tough Mexico...
Germany have lost their opening match at a World Cup for only the second time, the last time was in 1982 against Algeria. They went on to reach the final that year....

Brazil 1-1 Switzerland
A surprise? Not really... The Swiss have a strong team and could go far in this tournament...

 

[GILSAN]

The "Big 4"... Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Spain had a hard time to win their first game. France as one of the favourites also struggled even though they won.

Belgium the FIFA #3 ranked team plays what appears to be an easy game against Panama tomorrow...

That's why I Love The Beautiful Game!

Gary Lineker (England): Football is a simple game. 22 men chase a ball around for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.

If we as a species were as easily injured as soccer players pretend to be, we would have died out a long time ago.

They get paid a lot of money to pretend they are pussies, whenever it's convenient...

The top dogs have failed to win so far....Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain........only France managed to take the full 3points after a difficult win.
