Klose is a monster, I remember when he had fun against Saudi Arabia in 2002 at the Sapporo Dome IIRC.

Also, he doesn't have a lot of competition on the Mannschaft, that's good for him and bad for the team, it's the only weak link I can think of on Germany.

The back line is far from impressive, they could have easily conceded 2 to 3 goals yesterday if Armenia had they habetter finishers. better teams will not be as forgiving.

I think Boatang will go better in center of defense along with Mert. Lahm and Durm  on the flanks . The later is a risk choice but he got what it takes.

Not seeing the Lahm as DM experiment panning out well.

This is why I was waiting for the contest.

Contest? It's a tournament not a beauty pageant

CR7 would disagree..

Ah.. I thought it was an Americanism

Yeah I was referring to why I was waiting to make my pics for the tournament. Because there is literally always a good team that loses a huge player right before it starts.

Soccer is for the kids that weren't good enough to make the Football or Baseball teams.  On a side note: Any stadiums burn down yet?

Soccer

haha

Here we go with the futile debate...

Nah I'm just having a laugh, no harm. I'll leave the mass debating for others ;)

Important Ronaldo update:

I think it is only fair that we will be posting results and comments as they happen live. Anyone recording the matches or would like to remain oblivious to the results might want to ignore the thread.

Now then, lets get the show under way

The 2014 WC theme song (by Pitbull & Jlo) is so weak compared to 2010's Wavin' Flag by K'naan.

 

The chant will always be "ole ole ole ole" and NOT "ole ole ole ola" :D

I heartily endorse this comment and/or product.

And so, 3 weeks of short sleep begin today.

As for today's game, I think Croatia can give Brazil a run for their money.

football every night........

 

yaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssss!

Morning games for me. 4, 7, 10am kick offs.  Could be a few mornings late in to work...

Bring it on....6am for me for the opening first match, nice and early!

Kick off : 4:00 pm EST

Ugh. Going to be in a car. May have to use Justin.tv

Holly!!

An unconvincing Brazil wins on a bad call, that's how I would summarize the game.

Not bad for an opener though.

Looks like the bribe was large enough. :)

Good stuff ... Big one tomorrow. Gonna have to record that one and probably miss the other two. Damn work.

Brazil got a free pass to the round of 8, where I think they'll be eliminated.

They played poorly, nothing like the Brazil of previous World Cups. And a questionable referee. Sad

One thing, had Brazil not won yesterday, most of sauromosis' contest entries would've been busted, as Brazil would have had to - theoretically - play Spain in the round of 16.
