Japan vs Senegal was a great match yesterday. Blue Samurai came from behind twice for a 2-2 draw. Honda as a sub getting the equalizer. 

Colombia vs Poland was brutal. 

Next Group H matches are everything.

Belgium looks strong. Lotsa talent.

Belgium and England will be not the game I was hoping on Thursday. Due to next round draw it looks like finishing second is a better result. See what happens.

Panama vs England was a bloodbath, was great to see the Panama fans having a great time anyway since it's the first WC they have played in.

Ugly couple of days.  It was better at the start when the temperatures weren't high.

Russia hasn't put up such a strong defense since Stalingrad.

They have so much mojo behind them with the Olympic issue and having their good name dragged through the US media in such a scandalous manner for almost two years (lol). They'll probably even win.

Japan was a team I was pulling for. What an effort. Up 2-0! And then...

Oh well, Belgium will be crushed shortly by Brazil.

First game was good.  Neymar should take a walker out on the field with him.

Second game was better, and definitely could have went either way.  Great excitement.

I'm going to call it the other way around. Brazil hasn't had a hard team to play yet. Like the last WC when germany shit kicked them 7-1. Going to be a good game

Germany beating Brazil on home turf 7-1 was the worst professional loss I have ever seen. This world cup is fantastic. I think this is the year some team from the blue wins it. Russia should not of beaten Spain....Germany is out. As is Portuagal. Japan losing shows its lack of fortitude, which I would expect from Belgium. I think the next few games are going to be very interesting....if you think Brazil is going to walk away with it I think you are going to be surprised. My bet is either England, or perhaps Russia; don't discount home field advantage. Look at France for that.

Uruguay!

If Cavani is fit. Looks like he is injured, going to go with France.

This pic made me laugh. Also surprised Suarez hasn't bit anyone yet.

First Panama, then Colombia. England has had some rough games this WC. Lots of yellow cards. Top side of the quarters looks harder then the bottom draw. I think any team from the top could win the whole thing.

Thread killer

Yeah, it's an unbalanced bracket.
