Japan were wrong path 
can not shoot as many flight centers 
against a team that his greatest strength is defense

So sad that Japan didn't win... They started to push to late and should have done something else. they had 1-2 great chances but it wasn't meant to be I guess. Greece so annoying to watch play seriously... Hope they will not qualify no matter what happens to Japan!

Would be so awesome to see Japan qualifying but it's going to be difficult now.

Sad about England too... I would like them to go far but not sure what they are doing. Suarez is sadly that awesome...

was busy last night so i couldnt come on for predictions. but what a match last night. colombia was actually pretty great, even drogba's presence couldnt lift them enough. and i've rarely been happier to see suarez scoring (i felt his goal celebrations were pretty over the top though, he looked like he was about to cry after both goals. can't fault him though). although it was pretty gutting as a liverpool fan to watch gerrard look like that after the match. respect to suarez for comforting him after the match. and also respect to the uruguay left back, a real warrior for insisting on playing even after suffering a concussion

as for japan, there's nothing much i can say. i hate greece with a vengeance after they won euro 2004 against portugal using defensive tactics and this match more or less justified my disdain for them. i guess japan will be out of the WC, i don't see them beating colombia considering how they beat ivory coast and greece, which is a waste because they actually have a pretty decent squad IMO.

tonight's predictions
italy-costa rica 2-0
switzerland-france 1-2
honduras-ecuador 0-3

Yeah the way Greece plays... Don't like it and it's boring.

For today I have basically the same predictions as you :
italy-costa rica 3-0
switzerland-france 0-2
honduras-ecuador 0-3

Let's see! Go France!!!!!!!  .hora. .hora. 

it is min 53 now the score is
Italy 0-1 Costa Rica  

EDIT:
end of the game Italy 0-1 Costa Rica

 .clap.

referee helped A LOT costa rica. and i'm not talking because i'm biased, he didn't see stuff, he gave things that he shoudn't... we had good referee for the last matches but now, what a mess

italy 0 - costa rica 1
italy should start to get ready and go home...

OMG is Switzerland 0-2 France....Two goals for France in 2 mins . First scores Olivier Giroud in min 17 then Blaise Matuidi in min 18....Great game by now....


EDIT 1:
It should be 3-0 . Karim Benzema had a huge chance to score from penalty in min 33, but Diego Benaglio stops the shot. Then Yohan Cabaye shoots in the bar from 6 metres


EDIT 2:
It`s 3-0 in min 40 . Mathieu Valbuena scores for France. I think the game is over now.

France!!!!!! :D Huge 1st half!  :cheer: And the missed penalty + bar loool...

About Italy I didn't watch carefully but I didn't see any huge mistake, the referee even missed a penalty for Costa Rica IMHO. Congrats Costa Rica qualified, wow huge surprise!  .clap.

EDIT: France!! France!! France!! France!!  .clap. 5-2 wow (almost 6 lol what the hell referee?!)

although today he has not won Germany together with France and Belgium
I find the more serious candidates from Europe to win the cup

The Germany game was entertaining, Ghana had a big chance for the 3-1 but didn't made it...

Iran should have scored a point, sad for them to lose like that in the last minute, they deserved better and played good.

Bosnia is out :/ Huge mistake by the referee, their goal wasn't offside and it could have changed the game so much! Nigeria played good too and in the end it was close.

Glad that Iran and Nigeria woke up and showed their skill

I watched portugal-usa today portugal is done for, CR7 just stood on the field and watch the whole game first row.
England was a dissapointment mess all my bets, Rooney was so bad as expected for a manU player.

World war 3 is coming this Thursday(?) USA vs Germany.

lol that ManUtd comment out of nowhere... Surely Rooney is the only man on the field for England? They played all bad as a team. Portugal did the same.

Yesterday's game were great except the Belgium game. Seriously disappointed by their play, I expected so much more from them. Well they won yes but it's was a poor display IMO.

Algeria did a great job and played well! South Korea made the worst 1st half of this WC I think. sleeping, not doing anything at all, they deserve that lose but at least their 2nd half was decent.

USA... They surely don't have the best players and all but what a spirit on the field... I was actually really sad for USA when Portugal scored at the last minute. I hope they qualify and they keep on playing like that.

Today's stupid predictions:
Australia-Spain: 2-1 A win for Australia would be great, Spain is done anyway
Chile-Netherlands: 2-2 Interesting game with these teams!
Cameroon-Brazil: 0-3 Easy win for Brazil unless something really happens in the Cameroon team...
Mexico-Croatia: 2-2 Great game too I hope

seems that today you only successful to the easy win Brazil

to me I would have loved that chanced to Chile and Holland 2-2
but we have been defeated, Chile now has to play against Brazil

lol I'm actually bad at predictions, it's just a funny thing to do xD I don't do any research, look at team stats, players stats, records, etc. ^^

Yeah bad for Chile, Brazil played a bit better yesterday, they will be very hard to defeat... Honestly Brazil didn't impress me so far, I had that image in my mind where Brazil was a monster beast and huge favorite but I think it's a team you can defeat, it's not impossible at all.

But they are home... and they are still good with very good players. It will be hard to defeat them soon but I think a good team after the Ro16 can do it. Croatia wasn't that great if we look at the final results, Cameroon was really bad, and Mexico the other team qualified could get a draw so it's not like Brazil destroyed that group. So I imagine a big team could seriously have a go at Brazil in the Ro8, maybe even Chile if they play really good in defense. Or suddenly Brazil will play even better and then... good luck xD

For today's game:
England-Costa Rica: 2:0
Greece-Ivory Coast: 0:2
Italy-Uruguay: 1-1
Japan-Colombia: 2-1

Go Japan!!! SCANDAL cheered for you at OJH you have to win this!!!! Do not disappoint our girls  .knuckles. .rage. 

italy is out of the world cup after a...strange match? 0-1 for uruguay, referee did some mistake, players did too of course, but it's unbelieveble they did NOTHING about suarez. that guy should be out of any competition.

costa rica passed since they did a 0-0 with england

min 45 is Japan 1-1 Colombia
GANBARE NIPPON !!!
We need only one goal

Suarez will surely be banned for a game or more. This guy is talented but so stupid.

Italy well... the way they played the 2 last games was a shame seriously, they deserve to be out, playing bad and playing the 0-0. Not sure about the red card in this game though... England and Italy out, who would have bet on that before the WC?!

Anyway, right now Japan is out but if they score 1 goal and nothing changes in the other game they would be qualified! There is still hope!! Go Japan!  .hora. .shout. 

NOOOOOOO NOOOO
is Japan 1-2 Colombia  .waaa.

EDIT 1:
min 60 it should be red card for colombia...
Okazaki has blood on face
stupid ref..
EDIT 2:
noo noo
Greece 1-1 cote d'ivoire min74
now we need 3 goals  .omg.


EDIT 3:
nooo nooo noooo noooo noo
Japan 1-3 Colombia .fustrated.

EDIT 4:
NOOOOOOOO
Japan 1-4 Colombia
 .waaa.

EDIT 5
End of game
Japan 1-4 Clombia
Zaccheroni  you destroyed our team . GO FAR AWAY .knuckles.

Damn Japan got destroyed in the end. Didn't see the game (they showed the other on the channel I get) but I guess they took too many risks... Sad for them but they didn't play better

Greece played much better than expected (3 posts/bars in this game) so it's a bit deserved even if I don't like their team too much.

All my predictions wrong lol reminds me why I should never bet money   

Japan, we are always support you together with Scandal .clap.

Today, go FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE!!!! Need the #1 spot because most likely Argentina will end up #1 if there is no surprise... Well actually if Argentina ends up #2 then it means they are not really that good anyway. But we need to win to maintain the confidence and have no doubts going into Ro16!

France-Ecuador: 3-0
Switzerland-Honduras: 2-0
Argentina-Nigeria: 2-1
Iran-Bosnia: 1-0

I cant take it anymore, watch the great goal Karim Benzema  .cool. 
Squad starting eleven Frence for today, my opinion Lloris; Debuchy, Varane, Sakho, Evra; Sagna; Valbuena, Matuidi, Pogba, Benzema; Giroud.

Evra will most likely get a rest, replaced by Digne and Varane by Koscielny.

Also it seems Schneiderlin will be part of our midfield and Giroud will be replaced by Griezmann.

Not official but it's the latest info I heard. Coach wants some rotation to keep everyone involved and give some rest to some players.
