That's not how someone who wants to be world champion should play.

Champions win, and Germany won.  It is hard to not see them at least make the semi finals now.

Stupid Portugal, you were supposed to play 1-1. Good riddance.

To be fair, the Ghanian keeper wrapped up the ball, put on a bow, and delivered it to Ronaldo.


It was awesome.

They were dominating a team that is several levels below them. This game showed nothing. The only good thing I take from this is that it probably won't be as bad in the next game, seeing how infuriated Löw was.

It showed that Germany does not slip. Spain slipped, Italy slipped, Germany did not.  That sort of consistency is remarkable to never implode or have a bad World Cup.  The fact you ar einfuriated by how you win should show how high the standard is for Germany.



Thanks Ronaldo for securing me 3 points. Congrats to the US for making it to the second round, this surely wasn't Portugal's tournament. 6 points total, that's as much as yesterday already.

I think Belgium has little to fear, but they probably wouldn't want to risk a loss. Russia should be able to advance. Good luck Belgium!

Sticking to funky names of countries

Portugalia 2:1 Ghana
Stany Zjednoczone 1:3 Niemcy
Algieria 2:1 Rosja
Korea Południowa 0:3 Belgia

it's like every language has a different name for our country ... weird


But our is easily the cuttiest and funniest. We pretty much call you "The Speachless"  

Now we have two games in which Europe faces off Asia. I'm supporting Europe - go Belgium, go Algeria!! 



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

Will US 100% play Belgium no matter what?


No. There is a 90% chance we play them, and 10% we play Algeria.

Russia's the one in Europe... And Algeria is in Africa .



Pretty sure that was harder to miss than to score for Mertens
