Go Germany!

Of course, the question is Neuer's fitness.

Sane is a pure winger, and Low tried to use him in a CF or CAM role with poor results.

Germany isn’t going to get in a shootout with teams like Brazil and Spain, even with Sane, so their best bet is to get the players that best fit the system. Die Mannschaft Autobus will be firmly parked in the back third vs top teams. Vs teams like Mexico and Panama they will name the score.

Neuer...if there was ever a model for a Nazi propaganda poster...he’d be a hell of a TE.

I always thought of him as a thin version of Bob's Big Boy.

Whoa, amazing day on the eve on the 2018 World Cup. The US bid for 2026. YES!!!!! The United bid also includes sights in Mexico and Canada.

Then Spain changes coaches on the eve of the WC?

I had Spain winning it all...not now. Too much distraction. Brazil gonna take it all now I think.

WC 2026 expanded to 48 teams...one step away from participation trophies.

I like a Germany repeat.

Go Senegal!

Possible...but since Low dissed Sane, I can't pull for the Krauts.

It all gets going in about 13 hours, live coverage starts on FOX  TV at 9:00 am.

first match Saudi Arabia vs the host nation Russia  

the  CBS predictor says, host country gets off on the right foot  scoring a goal in each half  to take 3 points in group A.   

Possible...but since Low dissed Sane, I can't pull for the Krauts.

Because the entire World Cup should be run for the benefit of Man Sh!tty players.

My first appointment is at noon....I guess my morning is booked.

There is a lot of sports on FOX tomorrow,  world cup in the am,  a little 3 hour window for your meeting, I'm not sure if your interested BK,  then the US open  at 3:30 pm

I never pull for the Germans, but reality.

Lucky SOB. I hope Saudi park the bus and hold Russia to a nil nil draw.

No, because he was outstanding in the Confederations Cup and should have been on the squad. But being the provincial twat he is, Low decided he was going to go with a white Bundesliga player instead.

1 st goal of 2018  World Cup

a fine header to the far post by # 8 of the home team.. Saudi's goalkeeper was close, just couldn't get there

another one for the homers,  # 6 buries one into the back of the net, goalkeeper didn't have a chance on that one...

half time Russia 2   Saudis  0

The first match turns into a rout    final score

Russia  5

Saudi   0

What happens when the home team gets the worst squad in the tourney. Apparently, the Saudi bus wasn't big enough and BK got to watch 5 goals. Boooo!

Let the hate flow through you....

You're welcome to Gündoğan, however.

Missed it. I misread the time!

Damn job.

They have TVs in Utah. Can’t think of a better time to retire.

One of my business clients takes the whole month off during the World Cup. Just shuts down the business. It is the busiest time of year for him too.

Three more matches on tap today,  one already in the books,

Uraguay  scored in the 89th minute to beat Egypt.....1-0

2nd  match is going on now,  at the 65 minute mark Morocco tied with Iran 0-0

and lastly  at 1: 00,  heavyweights  Spain  vs  superstar Christaino Ronoldo led Portugal    

how will the tourney favorites respond to their new coach????

Some ending to the Morocco-Iran game.

I'm at work. Portugal and Spain will be awesome too.

It is!

There really is nothing like watching soccer played at the highest level. It’s Chess with a ball.

Stop rubbing it in. 

Ronaldo is almost 36 and still dominates the best teams on earth. Amazing!

He’s no Messi. 

Both amazing players. Nothing between them. Okay, Messi is less of a douche.

That’s pretty much the division for me between the two. Ronaldo is a blatant douche. Messi is a douche the way Steve Smith was for Carolina. A douche but well buried beneath his ability to force you to easily find bigger douches while diverting your suspicions with talent. 

Ronaldo is a drama queen ala LeBron.

Great analogy on Mesi with Steve Smith.

Even Viking fans are less of a douche than Ronaldo. 

OK, maybe I wouldn't go that far....

Did you see that kid from Morocco head one into his own net, and then the guy from Iran raised his arms like he made the goal.  Even though the game ended in a tie Spain sure looks smooooooooooooth  short crisp passes, wear the other team down and then bam attack....very fun to watch,  alot like the Packers offense with a healthy  #12.   They sure get started early, day 3 under way 8o am another superstar on the field Lionel Messi  Argentina vs Iceland, lets see if height advantage helps,  Iceland has 10 of 11 players over 6 foot.
