They're a very slow team, both in style/pace and athleticism

They tied Canadia, got crushed by the Swiss, and beat Qatar (who went 0-1-2). US should advance here. I hope easily, but I suspect we will make it harder than it needs to be...

They are going to park the bus bigtime and pray for a counter or kicks.

Who you got in each match up? My best guess...

  • Germany over Paraguay
  • France over over Sweden
This creates a monster match up in the next round! France advances.
  • South Africa over Canada
  • Netherlands over Morocco
Pretty easy path for Netherlands to advance.
  • Portugal over Croatia
  • Spain over Austria
Pretty easy path for Spain to advance.
  • USA over B&H
  • Belgium over Senegal
USA! USA! USA! should advance.
  • Brazil over Japan
  • Norway over Ivory Coast
I'll take Norway to row into the next round.
  • Mexico over Ecuador
  • England over DR Congo
Another monster match up! Mexico probably moves on (sadly).
  • Argentina over Cape Verde (bye bye Cinderella!)
  • Egypt over Australia
Argentina cake walk.
  • Switzerland over Algeria
  • Colombia over Ghana
Colombia most likely advance.

Should be a fun week of incredible football!

Mexico gets to play in Azteca at altitude 3 games in a row. I would hardly call that getting screwed. Assuming England win against Congo (hardly a given how they have played) they will have 4 days to acclimate.

I don't know about ESPN but FIFA is simple and doesn't require guessing goals so easier for casual fans to fill out.

Loving the videos with the ex-coaches. Guess Jurgen didn't get the invite.

Because they're a bunch of hosers, eh?

Go Bafana Bafana!

That being said, I've got America's Hat winning 2-1.

They're both insufferable, but Mexico is actually decent at soccer while Canada is over-hyped. I view MX the same way I do tu - root for whoever their opponent is, expect to see atrocious fan behavior and relentless whining when the result doesn't go their way.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Yokel's anthem reviews
I know that South Africa's anthem is well liked by some, but I find the combination of two different tunes musically incoherent.

"O Canada" is not a particularly good song, but I have it defeating South Africa to move on to the round of 16!

Give South African goalie a raise
My gummy-bear died. My unicorn ran away. My imaginary friend got kidnapped. The voices in my head wont talk to me.
I've got a red bull. So I got that going for me.
