my sweepstake Sweden, well not without any chance i guess, 50/50 as for h2h against mexico

Germany will be 1st in the group for sure :hehe:


Korea well, they are good but they haven't got the Hiddink effect now

[Calderyon]

No question i my mind, Germany will sweep the group and quite easily finish 1st. Mexico, Sweden and Korea Rep. battle for the second place. In the end Mexico will gain two victories against both of them and finish 2nd. Sweden and Korea will tie their game and will both finish with 1 point each.

[Nicky91]

Good Luck to Die Mannschaft today :cheer: :cheer:

[JerseyWins]

Niiiiiice Mexico, win this vs. Germany! :clap1:

[GiRTh]

Four days into the tournament and already had enough of Phil Neville. Did anyone see yesterday when Didier Drogba and Alex Scott debunked a point he was making only for Neville to reply - I still think I'm right' :facepalm: and just now he was talking seriously about Mezut Ozil scoring directly from a free kick - Never done that for Arsenal in his five years there and I'd argue Ozil is not even much of a goal threat anyway. How did they let Neville manage one of the national teams?

[GiRTh]

Gary Lineker just said Germany won the World cup in 1998 - Did they have a play off with France cuz I distinctly remember France winning with Zidane scoring two in the final. BBC need to sort the punditry out.

[Vladimir]

and just now he was talking seriously about Mezut Ozil scoring directly from a free kick - Never done that for Arsenal in his five years there and I'd argue Ozil is not even much of a goal threat anyway.

Serbian commentator did that as well :joker:

Didn't expect Germany to struggle with Mexico this much but can't say I'm not slightly enjoying this!

[Nicky91]

Lozano :clap1: :clap1: our bro from psv, we are proud of you man

[GiRTh]

1008376583185420289

Agreed. Thought he hadn't scored for Arsenal from a free kick so I stand corrected but I'm now racking my brain trying to remember when it was . Do these pundits actually watch these players? :conf::huh:

[Nicky91]

Neville :joker:

Posting this to show more evidence Neville is a tw&t and the other pundits are much better.

Gary Neville I feel has more knowledge on matters of Football.

I know that he did badly at Valencia, but it takes more than just tactical knowledge to manage a Football team.

[Nicky91]

13 sweden vs south Korea starts

[James]

It's Mark Lawrenson I find annoying. He's so sarcastic - about most foreign players anyway.

[Crimson Dynamo]

The Germany result was bad news for Sweden as the Bosh now must win that game

[bots]

i have found the pundits and co commentators atrocious on both channels, There was a time when people used to take pundits comments seriously, certainly not now. I would also say that the women have provided the most professional insights

[Nicky91]

german commentator was quite funny yesterday tbh how he was panicking and stressing

[Calderyon]

Germany losing to Mexico. :shocked:

[Calderyon]

Sweden vs South Korea 0-0 on the 42nd minute.

[Nicky91]

not bad from south Korea i think

[Calderyon]

Sweden is more in control of this game.

[Ross.]

Come on Sweden :clap1:

[Denver]

South Korea deserve better

[Crimson Dynamo]

good pen

[Nicky91]

sweden playing well, but Korea also is good


a nice warm up match for the 2 main event matches of the day let's say :dance:

[Calderyon]

Sweden 1-0 via PK at 65th. Granqvist the scorer.

[Shaun]

Korea haven't been any good since 2002, they're only here because every other Asian country is terrible smh

[Nicky91]

Korea haven't been any good since 2002, they're only here because every other Asian country is terrible smh

they really miss ''the hiddink effect''

[Calderyon]

Korea haven't been any good since 2002, they're only here because every other Asian country is terrible smh

And even then most of the success was through very dodgy refereeing.

[Denver]

The Koreans of the South were robbed

[Shaun]

Crap game.

[Calderyon]

Should have been a tie, but Sweden were more active than Koreans so...

[Cherie]

Mexico beating Germany :flutter:

During the 1994 World Cup we were on holiday in Cyprus when Mexico were playing someone and some English man shouted out come on Jackie Charlton thinking it was Ireland playing, this is my go to story when Mexico plays

[Nicky91]

today we get south Korea vs Mexico, and in the evening Germany vs Sweden

[Nicky91]

South Korea vs Mexico has begun, penalty for mexico now

[Nicky91]

1-0 Mexico penalty by Vela :cheer:

[Nicky91]

2-1 now for mexico against south korea

[Jack_]

:cheer2:

[Shaun]

Bit embarrassing this.

The holders' curse continues, I guess.

[MTVN]

C'mon!!!!

[Alf]

It's all Frau Merkels fault.

[Alf]

Roy Keane is the best pundit of the World cup. He just makes you want to listen to what he has to say.

The ITV team are so much better than the BBC.

[MTVN]

Germans going home!!!!

[Alf]

Germans going home!!!!Have you learnt not to speak too soon?

[MTVN]

Have you learnt not to speak too soon?

Please, they're not gonna get a winner with ten men

[MTVN]

Oh **** what a save

[Alf]

You absolute jinx MTVN


Don't forget to switch over to BBC2 after this for England vs New Zealand.

[GiRTh]

You were saying? Poor Sweden. Held out for so long.

[MTVN]

Oh **** **** ****

[MTVN]

Fuuuucccckkkkk

[Jack_]

Oh dear

Poor England

[Shaun]

Brilliant game

[MTVN]

This World Cup has been amazing for drama

[AnnieK]

Germany so lucky then.....felt sorry for sweden

[Cherie]

fantastic game, well done to the Germans, feel so sorry for Sweden, so close

[James]

Roy Keane is the best pundit of the World cup. He just makes you want to listen to what he has to say.

The ITV team are so much better than the BBC.

:conf: He's miserable.

[Cherie]

:conf: He's miserable.

Roy is a God :nono: who else whould get away with saying he wanted to pull the head of Carlos Quieroz when he was at United :laugh:

[Vladimir]

Germany :love: What a game!

[Alf]

:conf: He's miserable.I like miserable.

The other day he said that when Carlos Queiroz was at Manchester United, that he should have ripped his head off.

[Nicky91]

Lucky Germany now :notimpressed: how awful for sweden, losing against 10 man

[bots]

We haven't had any shocks in terms of qualifications for the knockouts really yet, and this group is the last chance for there to be a shock

[James]

Group F possible outcomes.

[Shaun]

Sweden winning :omgno: bye-bye Germany?

[Alf]

There's an old saying in football "Never write off the Germans"

[Nicky91]

Sweden :clap1:

[Calderyon]

Sweden 2-0 at 62th via PK.

[Calderyon]

Now if Germany wins, Mexico could be going out.

[James]

Commentators are writing off Germany already.

Long way to go in this match though.

[Headie]

Here for a shock

[Nicky91]

Germany out :eek: wow what a shock that would be

[James]

I can almost guarantee that Germany will score.

[Alf]

Sweden 2-0 at 62th via PK.Bloody hell! that's ruined my prediction, why couldn't they just stick at 1?

I'll have to go check what score James did now.

[AnnieK]

Germany will score in around the 89th minute....i'd put money on it

[Alf]

He did 1-0 same as me.

[Jack_]

This is infuriating to watch, it's like the Sweden match all over again cause you know what's coming

[Shaun]

It's almost criminal really that Mexico could be out if Germany scrape a 1-0 win :(

Head-to-head rule should be the #1 distinction. If Mexico beat them, they go through :hmph:

[bots]

3-0 for Sweden now :laugh:

[Shaun]

That said, Korea are a shambles so it's inevitable. Can't stay on their feet.

[Nicky91]

Go Sweden :cheer:

[Alf]

Muller will get the winner.

[Shaun]

For god's sake Son :oh: that was a golden chance

[Vanessa]

Not looking good for Germany :shocked:

[Ross.]

So **** for Mexico when Germany inevitably get the last minute goal :(

[Jack_]

inb4 both Germany and Brazil go through

[Crimson Dynamo]

The germans bombed my Granny

I demand justice from this game

[Alf]

inb4 both Germany and Brazil go throughAdd Italy to that. Those 3 have won 13 of the 20 World cups between them.

[Nicky91]

The germans bombed my Granny

I demand justice from this game

:omgno: and yes the german-england rivalry is quite fierce agreed

[AnnieK]

Germany will get a free kick in the dying seconds and score.....

[Jack_]

Serious deja vu here

Any minute now

[AnnieK]

How much injury time they put on? Can't watch in work and nothing updating quick enough

[bots]

6 mins additional time

[Jack_]

Let's just take it one step at the time. :laugh:

[Nicky91]

Too much confidence has been a downfall for many.

[Ross.]

Sweden :love: Mexico :love:

Been a brilliant World Cup so far

[Nicky91]

They do not.

oh maybe finland can be world champions, or Netherlands :joker: :joker: :joker:

[Calderyon]

Germany has been shockingly bad. This thing going from a reigning World Champion to being eliminated on the Group Stage is incredible and one of the worst collapses ever in WC history.

At least Brazil made it to the semifinals and finished 4th after winning World Cup.

[Calderyon]

oh maybe finland can be world champions, or Netherlands :joker: :joker: :joker:

Finland will probably never make it to the WC though.

[Denver]

Didn't they go out at the Quarters?

4 of the last 5 winners went out in the groups Stage

[Vladimir]

Mexico :love:

I didn't blink during the second half of both matches (watched them simultaneously) :laugh:

The second goal for Korea was hilarious but couldn't help but feel bad for Neuer :(

[Denver]

Mexico :love:

I didn't blink during the second half of both matches (watched them simultaneously) :laugh:

The second goal for Korea was hilarious but couldn't help but feel bad for Neuer :(

He had himself to blame bigheaded idiot

[Calderyon]

Didn't they go out at the Quarters?

4 of the last 5 winners went out in the groups Stage

No they defeated Chile and Colombia in the knock outs and after that lost 7-1 to Germany in the semis and 3-0 to Netherlands in the bronze match.

[Nicky91]

No they defeated Chile and Colombia in the knock outs and after that lost 7-1 to Germany in the semis and 3-0 to Netherlands in the bronze match.

Netherlands won bronze :eek: haven't seen that match, oh yeah that's right i was watching a movie back then

[Denver]

No they defeated Chile and Colombia in the knock outs and after that lost 7-1 to Germany in the semis and 3-0 to Netherlands in the bronze match.

But Spain won the 2010 World cup

[Calderyon]

Oh yeah that is correct.

It was 2002 Brazil, 2006 Italy, 2010 Spain and 2014 Germany.

I was wrong. Apologies.

They should not get too cocky.

[Mystic Mock]

won't happen, england are a million times better than every other remaining country now :smug:

I love your optimism Nicky.

Southgate has done a good job so far, but I feel like this tournament is more about rebuilding the squad and giving the team some credibility again after some shocking performances in recent tournaments, rather than winning the World Cup which definitely seems like an over-achievement if it were to happen.

[bots]

In your face Hitler

i think the funniest comment I have seen so far is ..... don't mention ZE VAR :laugh:
