World Cup 2018

Quite right, Skully.

Kroos has been for so long a talisman of the Germany team. He's there tonight when they need him with one of the best free kicks I've ever seen. There's been quite a few great goals to choose from already during this World Cup to be fair and there's another one.

There's obviously still faults they need to iron out. The center backs, Boateng and Rudiger were hopeless at times. There's still problems there with the shape and the apparent discontent in and around the squad and the training camp. However this may go a long way to galvanising them and they'll probably have the lift they need to get their campaign going. You can never write off the Germans. Still work for them to do, but for me their ability to snatch a result out of the fire still makes them good enough for at least a run to the semi-finals.

That's it then. Germany back from the brink. I can see them going all the way now. Korea looked a different team today and were perhaps unlucky not to get something out of the Mexico game. But I still expect the Germans to steamroller them next week.

Phew......looks like my works sweepstake team (Argentina) may sneak into the knockout round..... Fingers Crossed.

Not watched too much if I’m honest but what I have seen hasn’t been that exciting. Too many defensive teams or to much possession based football with not real speed. So far I reckon there’s no real favourite, pretty much anyone of the top nations could win it.

all i can say is - MEIN GOTT!!

jammern Bastarde!

Another example of poor game management by Sweden their player should have taken ball to the corner, instead he takes a shot straight into Neuers hands allowing him to clear upfield which leads to free kick and Germany‘s winning goal
