General discussion or spam...
![]() OK, why not spamming everything related to the World Cup that isn't part of our little competitions in one place ? In good CDZ tradition, let's keep the spam here ! ![]() Germany 2-1 Costa Rica [half time] Sehr gut !!! I predicted 2-1 for Germany, and I have Klose (2nd scorer) as my McDo captain at the FIFA Fantasy Football. ![]() Now, Costa Rica isn't solid in defense at all, especially on the right side, but Germany's defense can be beaten as well, and I don't think that Lehmann is a very good goal keeper (he still managed to reach the C1 final this year). I'm not surprised by all those goals ; this is the first match, and the WC ball seems to advantage the forwards. Maybe the first German goal wouldn't have been scored with another ball ?

It certainly moves in the air a lot having watched Germany's fourth goal.

If the centre of the German defense keeps playing like this, then they're fucked... Those two tall guys are about as mobile as mountains. Any fast offense will kill them.

Hard to say anything decent about this openingmatch. 6 goals was ok. Germany will win the group.

@KR:I dont agree, not convinced that germany will win this group after tonight.
Germany: better than I expected but as noted before, their defense was crap. Costa Rica: I thought/hoped they would do better. After tonight they're the no1 candidate to end in 4th place in this group Poland: Ok, bit worse than I expected. Ecuador: Surprised me. I knew they were much better than 4 years ago, but I didnt expect them to be this good. I think they were in control of the match against Poland for 75% of the game. Last 25% Poland outplayed them but their defense is great. And of course that keepers guardian angel putting 2 shots on the goalpoles helped quite a bit as well. From what I've seen I think Poland and Ecaudor have the best chances to reach the 2nd round.

I am often a pessimist regarding Germany's football, but here I have to agree with KR. We will win the group - if not with 9 points, we will get 7. We may not be as good in the game itself anymore, but we still rule the draw
