    I can respect their talent, but I can never respect their play.
    Can’t say the same for Landon Donovan though...

      This is going to be one fun World Cup. Who is going to beat Spain? That's the question.

        I wonder what you could have got betting Germany, Brazil, Argentina & Spain would combine for 3 points after their combined 4 games? 20-1?

          4 games. 4 favorites.

          90-1 minimum. Too many things had to happen for you to win.

        Did anybody watch Peru vs Denmark? I missed that one. How did the teams look?

          Open game. Peru looked good moving forward, just couldn’t execute in the final third.

          Both teams deserve a result, but that’s not how football works fortunately and unfortunately. That’s part of what makes it the beautiful game.

        I expect Colombia vs Japan to be a really good Group play matchup. Colombia is much improved and Japan has been very fun to watch the last several Cups.

            And the red card in the 4th minute!

                  I'm not sure any team plays tougher than the Japanese. They get knocked around and don't whine like babies. Maybe a little complaint here and there but they don't back down from tackles and generally just don't *****. Very organized as well. Disciplined team.

                    It's amazing. How a country plays soccer is often times a pretty good reflection of their culture. See: Germany, Brazil, England

                      Almost without fail. Very odd dynamic for sure.

                      The Poles have their hands full today as well trailing Senegal 1-nil early in the Segundo tiempo. Current world rankings have Poland 8 and Senegal 27 so this would be a very surprising result should it hold.

                    It's the Senegalese, 2 nil! Could get chippy towards the end.

                      That Senegal v Poland game had a fun ending!

                        The ref handled that situation poorly. Niang should not have been allowed on then.

                        Having said that, fair play to him and Senegal for capitalizing on the situation. It was a well executed goal.

                          As much as I am not a fan of Liverpool, as I support United, I really do like Sane and Salah and hope they do well.

                          If I could add one player to United right now, it would be the Egyptian Messi!
