They remind me of a certain Dagny Brynjarsdottir. Dangerous, tall, and strong.
Interesting, I'll perhaps have to watch some club soccer one of these days.
Post-WC I always tell myself I'll get into it but then football (americano) starts and I forget.
Glad you're rooting for Mexico then.
Sorry, Fiji. Too many missed chances...
I think the announcer said that Peru is the shortest team and Denmark is the tallest of all entrants.
I'm hoping the Super Eagles break my streak.Glad you're rooting for Mexico then.
My hopes for Mexico against Germany aren't very high :/
The Croatia/Nigeria match should certainly be highly entertaining.
I don’t have anything pertinent to say other than I love the World Cup so much!
4 matches today. I’ve been in heaven.

And they've all been dandies. Worth getting up at 6 am on a Saturday. I don't normally do that except to play golf.
Anyone catch Landon Donovan backing Mexico, and the former and current USMNT players ripping him a new one? I'm kind of glad Jurgen left him off the 2014 roster now (although he would've scored the goal Wondo shanked...).
My losing streak continues with Costa Rica losing to Serbia. So much for the pura vida.
Penciling in Germany over Mexico.. Brazil should finally end my skid this afternoon.

Impressed with Mexico's style so far... let a few good opportunities slip by but finally converted one.
So hypothetically, say Germany were to get knocked out or fail to qualify for whatever reason. Would Germans root for Brazil or Argentina to win it all over say Belgium or Portugal?
My assumption is that there would be some continental pride that would reluctantly push them to begrudgingly root for a European team.

I see it like I do college teams. I am never rooting for ScUM or FU. Never. I may be ok with Canada or some other CONCACAF team, but I’m never cheering for México.
Not a fan of Mexico winning, not good at all. Its the equivalent of rooting for UF and then winning a big one.
The Germans have had an affinity for Brazil and Argentina in the past....just sayin'
That's true... unintentionally set that up in my hypothetical
So neither Argentina, Germany, nor Brazil win their first match....Wow.
If there are many things in life more fun than moments like this, I’d love to know what they are...
All 3 were out-coached and out-desired. They thought they could just roll their jerseys out there and they'd get the 3 points.
