Bet that Russian minister wishes he kept quiet now, Ronaldo haters will also be fuming after Maradona and Pele preference towards him as a player.

Our media predicts that Hummels will replace him

So I guess that's death for Poland then.

Gonna beat them so bad that we'll call ourselves Prussia again.

We'll see, we'll see. Right now our coach has a bigger problem to solve - how to respectfully greet Loew in the beginning of the game without shaking his hand. Cause, you know...

So, my predictions. Despite my full love towards Hungary and the fact that they have 4 players from our league, I'm affraid...

Austria 1:0 Hungary
Portugal 0:1 Iceland

The second one is a risky one, but I think Portugal is ephemeral, I have no trust in them, while I consider Iceland to be a very focused team that knows what its strenghts are and executes. They aren't trying to do things they know they can't do, but they excel at what they know the can do. I think that one of their counters is going to be lethal, while Portugal will dominate the whole game, but won't do much.

Didn't he even think England would win it? So yeah... that's pretty fitting

Nah, he went with France in order to not look too biased. He has England in the final though.

I also have England in the final, but I wanted to go with a crazily shocking surprise.

Tomorrow is finally the day that I will watch a game of the Austrian football team again. I think the last match I watched of them was in Germany; it was a qualifying game and they lost 6-2 or so. That was years ago. Anyway, I am quite sure that Hungary is the team that Austria has the most wins against in its history. That bodes well.

What do you mean tomorrow? The Austrian match is today, right now.

And what do you mean "finally" and "last time"? Are you watching them live in France, or do you almost never watch Austria national team on TV??
