I thought Iran actually had the best chance to go through of the Asian sides when the draw was done in April, but these results are awesome. Saudi Arabia - down 0-1, win 2-1 vs Argentina Japan - down 0-1, win 2-1 vs Germany Japan - down 0-1, win 2-1 vs Spain South Korea - down 0-1, win 2-1 vs Portugal Quite a pattern! Just messaged the Croatian coach and told him to be up 1-0 at halftime | ||

Not an incredible one I think it’s a toss up between Poland and Serbia for most consistently underwhelming European sides these days. They almost invariably qualify and then never do anything of much note. No real standout performance or deep run, they just kinda qualify, aren’t good, aren’t terrible. They don’t really have a huge underdog angle to work off either Just a bit ‘meh’ Exciting evening’s action so far in other news! Lovey play from Son for the winner | ||

Portugal - losing to SK and beating Uruguay by 2 goals SK- beating Portugal Ghana - losing only by 2 goals Uruguay eliminated all 3 of them in the knock out (2010 for SK, Ghana and 2018 for Portugal). Wow! Also, there seems to be a lot of teams with 4 points eliminated this WC (Ecuador, Mexico, Tunisia, Germany, Belgium, Uruguay) More so than the past WCs. | ||

The players you put in the defense are the ones that have been playing a lot this wc and are simply not good enough though. They would have to improve a lot. And Brandt should not play a role in anyones plans for the future... Brandt has had a fantastic year so far and has been one of the few consistently good players for BVB. As for the defense, people love blaming the defense for these national teams, but the reality is that the best defense is a good offense when you are constantly facing teams that park the bus. Your offense needs to produce to relieve pressure off of your defense, which will inevitably succumb to counterattacking football if you can't score, but if you put 2 balls in the back of the net before 30 minutes, the opposing team is going to have a lot tougher time rallying to give you a shock defeat, both logistically and psychologically. If Germany's offense hadn't been so inept, they could've been up by several goals before halftime against Japan. If that was the case, you'd be hard-pressed to argue that Japan would have scored their counterattacking goals in the same way, and even if they did, they still would've lost. | ||

After their free kick? Please. That was just awful defending. Thanks to süle and "schlotti". | ||
