Yeah, didn't see France Denmark, but I heard that they were just playing kick the can, and not really wanting to make a big deal. Games take a lot of them, so they basically just wanted to take the bye (or just avoid having to play Argentina, some how.) Argentina is pretty vulnerable, IMO.

The early games look more consequential tomorrow, after that not so much, maybe Brazil. I'd like to see Colombia to get in.

At the half, group F... no scores.

Mexico and Germany are still in. I think Sweden had the better chances, but Memo Ochoa has been outstanding. It didn't look all that exciting with Germany-Korea.

Germany done, 2-0, empty net goal by Korea.

So, Sweden wins the group, on the head-to-head victory over Mexico. What a group.


Worst loss by Germany in Russia since Stalingrad.

That makes three straight WC champs to not advance to the Group of 16. I think some of it was poor defense, but there isn't much fire power. Maybe Argentina will capitalize, as Germany has been their biggest bane in the WC in the Messi era.

So the matchups:

Brazil v. Mexico
Sweden v. Switzerland

Mexico does weird things after big losses, but I think they will be beaten soundly by Brazil. SWESWI is a toss up to me.


Ticos are going out with class... 2-2 vs. Switzerland
