I have never really followed MLS, but the fact that Mexico registered seismic activity on the Richter scale when their team scored against Germany is one of the best explanations of why I love the world cup. Every game matters so goddamn much. 

Wow. It's great how the World Cup always brings surprises. Argentina, Brazil... now Columbia loses to Japen with 2-1.
South America takes a beating.

The way this world cup is going i feel like the major big teams will get a early exit and we will have a underdog winner.

I watched the portugal game this weekend and it was crazy good.

Iceland was a big surprise to be sincere but German will win it

I wish the US were in it, but since they're not, I'm not sure who to root for..either Brazil or England..

I agree with your assessment, JoeDough. The line between favorite and underdog seems slim.

I'm not sure if it's a product of increasing parity or something in the nature of the sport itself. In a game like basketball, the worst that can happen is that there's a 3 pointer. In soccer, any one play can radically shift the entire game, and there are relatively fewer scoring plays. 

To be honest, this is what makes it a little boring for me to follow all the time, but so exciting when the stakes are high like they are in the World Cup.

I'm so glad they finally introduced VAR into games. Listening to a few English pundits complain about it, I think them out of all people should know whats it like to have a major decision go against them. They should be glad its introduced before any other controversy happens. 

Another day of matches. Not the most thrilling ones, but the Belgium and Germany matches should be fun to watch!
The belgium - england game will be the most exciting game in that group.

dude, do yall saw how Messi face look like when they lost against Croatia

its also like messi vs rakitic

Alright folks th world cup has been underway for a while now well the group matches anways and I would like to know what everyones thoughts were. What was the most memorable moment for you with the team your rooting for. If I had to select two the only thing I think about when I watch Portugal play is thank god for Ronaldo, I also enjoyed watching Argentina get spanked 3-0. Oh and lastly Thank God Germany is still in it, Ty Kroos. :P

I love the games so far. No "big" team seems to be strong enough and this might be an excellent opportunity for a new team to win it.

Agree with FoeDough and also put in Mexico there who have great potential which can go all the way if everything goes their way whcih I hope.
