World cup 2014

So it begins......

Huge pressure on Brazil tonight. Anything less than a win and the pressure will increase. They should top the group. Tonight is by far their toughest game on paper.

Fascinating game so far. Croatia started brilliantly. Then they wilted in the heat. Oscar did brilliantly for the goal.

Hulk and Fred have been awful. I'd move Hulk up front and bring on Willian.

Brazil should win it. The conditions are as good as a goal to them.

Penalty my arse. Awful decision. Croatia deserved a draw.

Neymar and Oscar were superb. Modric as well.

If Jo is fit, he should start up front against Mexico.

3 games today: 

 

Mexico vs Cameroon - Even enough contest, Mexico should shade it. Whoever loses may as well pack their bags. 

 

Spain vs Netherlands - A repeat of the 2010 final, except this time the Dutch won't boot Spain up and down the pitch. The Dutch are looking toward the 2018 WC and not much is expected of them, but they have some fine players and will cause Spain problems. 

 

Chile vs Australia - Vidal is injured for Chile and he's hugely important to them. They still have Sanchez so should stroll past the Aussies. This is the weakest Aussie times in years.

Oh dear. 2 good goals ruled out for offside for Mexico. Same linesman. Officials ruining the tournament already.

[Dripsey3]

Penalty to Mexico? Nope. Daylight robbery.

[Dripsey3]

Mexico take a well deserved lead. Conditions are horrible. Heavy rain.

Chile got their expected 3 points but the Aussies pushed them all the way. Chile are shocking at the back. Spain will beat them but goal difference could decide the group which isn't good for Spain.

England's group just got more interesting. Great win for Costa Rica. No way they beat England or Italy though. Uruguay are a different team when Suarez plays. They could easily get 6 points.

I'm rooting for Costa Rica but I think Holland will win the World Cup.

Some people think I've mad, though when in control they cruise. If they go behind, under their manager they have the ability to get back into any game. It will be a test if they allow 3 past them, though I don't think the standard or entertainments been very good.
