World cup 2018 thread!

[Sallstrom]

I can't believe we're three days into the World Cup and I haven't seen a word on Reef2reef about it!
So, what do you think. Who's gonna win? Which are the best players? What's your team?

No one? ;Bucktooth

Okey. I'm exited anyway, today both Brazil and Germay enters the tournament!

Best player hands down is Christiano Renaldo. That last goal was incredible. Im Portuguese but think either Germany or England is going to take it

 

[Hazenight]

Great games, so far

 

[Sallstrom]

First real big sensation, Mexico beat Germany! Any my Sweden is in the same group ;Nailbiting

What's that about Germany taking what?

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Mexico was surprising. They were able to execute to the end. Surprising

Really like those games, underdogs who beats the favourites. Was a great game yesterday where Iceland got 1-1 against Argentina. The Iceland players are fighting like crazy.

I will go for Portugal, my country ... Let's see.

Also a surprise. I thought Brazil started well. Always a pleasure watching Brazil when they are playing well. But Switzerland has proved to be hard to beat in the last world and euro cups.
I think it's harder to get easy wins nowadays for the favourites. The other teams getting closer.

But for me as a former player I just love to watch the best players, therefore I really like to see teams like Brazil and Germany when they play their best games. So I'm a bit disappointed so far. Also thought Argentina would do better. Ronaldo in Portugal has been the only superstar who has delivered so far

Of course I hope Sweden will do well, but we don't have the best generation players right now. Hopefully we'll do a good game against South Korea tomorrow and start the tournament with three points

I been happy with the games I seen so far. Very good games and hard battles going on. Hard to tell who going all the way but I like the looks of Portugal, German, and Mexico so far

I'm German to the core and my oldest brother and sister were born in Hamburg.

But... I've always loved to watch Neymar...

For me it's too soon to get fully into the World Cup.

Been up very early to watch the games; fell asleep during the first half of Arg vs Ice to this time I have not seen both goals.
Today’s upset, Ger vs Mx is surprising but get this; Mexico has a tendency to play great against big teams and then somehow they manage to mess up vs not so “complicated” rivals. They can play some of the best games of the tournament. There’s always a first time for many things and in football at a WC level, Mexico got its first win against Germany and Germany its first defeat vs Mexico.
I still think Germany will take the top honor at the last match.
I’ve rooted for Germany for a long time, I like the way they play football; that’s my type of game and I’m not German.
France vs Australia to my taste was a bit boring but the others were good; although not an exact upset but sure felt like it, Iceland and just a while ago, Brasil vs Switzerland might turn tables for the penta-campeao’s aspirations.
I’m glad technology found its way into football, history shows there was a need for it but I think cameras are still needed right at the goal posts.

Mexico!!! [emoji1166][emoji1166][emoji1166]

Bad start so far IMO. Im Brazilian, so Im very dissapointed. I dont think Brazil will take it, but I at least expected them to do much better. The beginning of the cup is very tough as great teams lose and go home before they can get everyone on the same page.

Iceland, Switzerland played great. Germany losing was a surprise, but expect them to change pace over the next games.

Portugal and Mexico are doing great, I wish Portugal wins this time, they really deserve it.
If Mexico won I would be happy too

Also lived in Hamburg, Altona.

Hamburg-Altona is where my family is from.

I like to go to the port, eat some fresh fisch from the street vendors (+ a cold beer), and watch the ships come in. There is an awesome coffee shop near the old port (where the haunted dungeon is). Love that city and don't get to visit as much as I'd like.

Go Germany. Mexico game was a disappointment, but it ain't over till its over.
