The World Cup thread

Defending Champions return today - I'm sure they'll be champions once again. Brazil against Switzerland too, I highly admire Switzerland. They can go on a run I think, they have a good chance to beat the overrated Brazil.

I have a weird feeling Germany will get beat by the runner up from group E (Serbia, Switzerland or Costa Rica)
 
Indeed, Mexico look very impressive. Their goal was a brilliant bit of skill and team play - well deserved.
Will have to see if Germany can bring it up another level in the 2nd half. But if that's all they have, then Mexico will be tough for anyone to beat. Their counterattack looks very quick and could have been more lethal than it has been so far.
 
Stacks of Acting by Brazil's Diving team. Don't need to watch Poldark later! Hopefully the Swiss will climb off the aeroplane eventually and try to attract some of the commentators ejaculatory gush away from Brazil!
