I mean yea. Who would have seen then struggling against the Swiss? I'm speechless.

The Swiss are playing better tbh o.O

Mistake to play Neymar. He's still in bad shape

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 3:13 pm Yeah Brazil will start running again until they get 2-1. Then they will go back to sleep.

And I will score 3 points.

I'd rather sooner see Swiss score

Brazil is being reaaaaaaly pragmatic here.

Well things are going to get exciting now

BuckarooBanzai wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 3:07 pm Switzerland can't score, they're cursed with never having decent strikers.

You jinxed our predictions damn you!

Holy shit.

Damn.

I agree which I why I said it was a good thing in the end.

I predicted 3-0 here and I just realized I predicted 4-0 on the fifa website lol.

(which in retrospect was a good thing)

I don't hate Neymar. But he did break my heart when he left Barcelona.

Yea I suppose. I just also feel he forgot to grow up.

I think Neymar is autistic tbh. Or just abnormally spoiled. He doesn't seem "humble".

Same tbh. A lot more.

Angry cos it's tru

My Barca boy

Fucking coutinho yeasssssss amazing

If Argentina don't make it far, I'm rooting for Mexico all the way.

Updated. Sorry! xx

Oh phew. I missed it yes. I apologize. Great!

Quick! Send me prediction for Brazil Swiss

I changed my mind.

3-0

Let's go

Ok changing to 2-0 for Brazil for sure

Thinking of changing to 2-0 cos of neymar injury

I've never been happier so far in this tournament. If Argentina don't win this WC let it go to Mexico!

That Mexican defence is as sexy as their offence

Ooooffff klose almost equalized it.

At this point I don't give a shit about my prediction. I want Mexico to win this game.

Wtf. That should have been a PK for Mexico

Yea but I meant the Americas anyway Mexico have put me to shame. Holy hell they're amazing.

mostly because the central american/south american countries have underwhelmed me so far tbh (peru ily)

SO NERVOUS ABOUT GERMANY x MEXICO

i'm so hesitant about that 1 goal i think mexico can score with this German side. i'm changing to 3-0 for germany.

congrats, DDL. you're in the lead. for now.

only wolbre and DDL got 3 points on that one.

still waiting on [mention]BuckarooBanzai[/mention] for the next two games please log in!

you are my new nemesis

blegh, bland game but nice goal from serbia.

now time for an equalizer pls, costa.

looks like a 0-0 sorta game.

sorry Chout, I can't give you points for the first game since it's ~30mins in. I'll record the other 2 of course.

I have everyone's predictions except [mention]BuckarooBanzai[/mention] and [mention]Choutas[/mention]. There's still about 30mins to go for the first game. Hope they make it on time.

Today's player predictions:

wolbre

Brazil vs. Switzerland (17/6) 3-0

Choutas

Germany 4-0 Mexico
Brazil 2-1 Switzerland

everyone seems in agreement that Germany and Brazil are the clear winners in their games, but the Costa Rica x Serbia game has mixed predictions. a third are predicting a draw, a third a Serbia win and a third a Costa Rica win. So that one will be interesting for the leader board.

I know. my brother's gf is Mexican and bought him an official Mexico one to wear ($95 US) lol. He will never wear it, I mean. What a waste of money. They'll probably break up today.

yea I translated some comments and figured that's what he's about.

he's right tbh.

oh wow [mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention] just seen this

I have a feeling the Brazil game can see either 2 goals or like 5

He was Tweety before hahah

Damn. Gotta say the after makeover was a huge success

pshhhht if we're talking birds, suri was the best mascot

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 6:50 pm That said, my country is having record levels of apathy this year. A lot less people are rooting for Brazil and many are even rooting against. The 7-1 didnt help, the political situation of the country doesn't either, and nobody wants to wear the yellow t-shirt because it was appropriated by the extreme right-wing movements. Nowadays if you see someone with a Brazil shirt they are probably protesting for a military coup.

that makes me very sad. When you think of Brazil (or when I think of Brazil), the first thing I think of is their football culture. It's a beautiful thing.

who are people rooting for if not for Brazil?

my goal is to get a few solid football fans so I can have a thread where I can talk about la liga and the premier league and be engaged you're my target, DDL. yes you are.

[mention]melatonii[/mention] despite my awful performance today, I'm still winning you

look at you, seeming like you care about football. I thought you didn't care.
