Saudi Arabia is an awful team... Holy crap! Russia played as an adult team against a U-17 team.

Saudi Arabia is an awful team... Holy crap! Russia played as an adult team against a U-17 team.

At least we got to see two very nice goals, which was more than I had expected from this match.

We're on a good run of mascots lately... this aggressive-looking canary is quite bizarre, but I like it.

Clear Men 7 made an atonishing debut.


Now, I'm waiting for Little Lion Messi against Iceland.

Knockout stage predictions, anyone?

France 1 - 2 Argentina (France may well turn up and start playing to their potential. I still believe in Messi, though.)
Uruguay 1 - 0 Portugal (I see Portugal being found out against Uruguay, though you can't count Cristiano out.)
Spain 2 -1 Russia (Spain should muddle through this tie.)
Croatia 2 - 0 Denmark (Sorry BJ, but I don't see Croatia having trouble here)
Brazil 1 - 0 Mexico (I see either we getting an early goal and Mexico collapse, or a tough game. Here I'll stick with the latter.)
Belgium 3 - 0 Japan (As much as I'd enjoy seeing Japan make a deep run, Belgium should make short work of them.)
Sweden 0 - 1 Switzerland (A ferociously close tie. I feel individual skill from the Swiss will tip the balance.)
Colombia 2 - 0 England (I predict England to disappoint in typical fashion against a fine Colombia side. One question mark is how well will James be come Tuesday.)

Argentina has all-stars ahead, but behind it leaves many things to be desired...
