    Another one is Spain v Russia, just in order to see the russians being destroyed.

      France v Argentina would be a fun matchup. I'm still not sure who the best team out of Europe is. Belgium is looking really strong so far. Spain v Russia would be a pretty big mismatch on paper....

        Yeah, I missed the European Worldcup qualifiers and only watched the teams in the Euros and the Confederations cup. I'm really dissapointed with the Germany team, I was expecting much more as they always are contenders but also because they showed really good perfomance in the Confederations cup. So far personally I think its between Spain and Belgium.
        As I said before, I just want to see Russia get trashed because I think they don't deserve to be a Worldcup host.
        What sudamerican side do you think has perfomed best?
        (Sorry for the english btw)

          Honestly, no one from the Americas has looked that great besides Mexico. I think Brazil could be the best team, but they need to show up against Serbia and Costa Rica. Colombia was disappointing in their opener. Peru is already done. Uruguay has looked okay against inferior teams (not that you can blame them for having an easy group).

            Thanks! Yes. I agree with what you say. I hope that despite that being extremely shit Argentina get to the next phase only because I want Messi to get another chance to shine. Also, I want Brazil...

            Yes. I agree with what you say. I hope that despite that being extremely shit Argentina get to the next phase only because I want Messi to get another chance to shine. Also, I want Brazil and Colombia to step up to their game just to not let the Europeans dominate this World Cup. They already did this in the last edition.

    Personally, I would love to see either Mexico or Germany match up against Brazil. Germany v Brazil would have obvious tension due to the 7-0 Germany win in Brazil.

    EDIT: Also, I linked the 538 predictions page so you can play around with who you think is going to win each group stage game and look at the bracket.
