Exactly. I love underdog stories but not at the expense of brazil v. Germany. To be fair ,also want Argentina to turn it around and play France. Now imagine those two matches in ro16
Day 10: Belgium vs Tunisia, South Korea vs Mexico and Germany vs Sweden

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Some passion at last, now don't fizzle out again.
Germans going down like sacks of turds at every touch.
I thought Albin Ekdal was a Turkish name.
Then Sweden play Mexico in their last game with both needing a draw to suit their objective.
Nah Brazil will beat Serbia. Too risky them just playing for a draw as Serbia would get confidence and Brazil would be knocked out by a defeat.
He’s done well - you can’t blame the manager when half of the squad has aged mentally & physically. Müller is a shadow of himself, Ozil has gotten even lazier since the last time he played for Arsenal.
The German team needs help from the up & coming talents. A lot of the old guards should be retired by now. I think there’s a dearth of talents to fill in the gap.
Lindelof has the remarkable ability to be anonymous at CB, rarely see him impact the game or be the defender making the key stop. Maybe he is just reading the game, but it always feels watching him he is looking to avoid making a mistake first and has no real aggression in his play.
Goal not his fault, but why is thinking handball when he is 8 yards off the ball, time to react, don't tuck your hands and limit your mobility. Makes no difference in that play in all likelihood but the thought process concerns me.

Could be good.... but "Germany eliminated after two games" has a certain ring to it?
Sweden must weather this storm. This is a critical phase of the match. They will get at least 1 more chance to score. If Germany score now then Sweden won't get back into it.
Forsberg has mucked up two quality counter attacking opportunities.
Yes I love seeing underdog stories but ultimately world cups are defined by classic knock out matches and those two potential games you mentioned could well be epics.
Sweden are an excellent tactical team but them playing Brazil just wouldn't be a great spectacle.
Did you manage to tame that obsession? Or did you meet a bad one?
Wonder if Brazil would be happy or sad to see Germany eliminated before having the chance to meet them again.
Draw would be a decent result for Sweden, they'd need a point vs an already-qualified Mexico to get through. A dodgy result for Germany for that same reason.
Werner is so fast. Now if we had another super fast player...
And gently kicking a ball around for a game 0-0 and putting Germany out would be the ultimate irony?
Doesn't really have a presence as a CB. I'm not sure if he's a CB in a back 2 - maybe in a back 3 in the right set up.
Even if Brazil win, the Swiss have Costa Rica in their last game.
Can rack up the goals .
If they lose and Germany win? Goal difference?
Kiss of death from Dixon 
Sweden 
What is the next generation of German talent like because they are going to need them to step up in the not too distant future.
The Swedish blonde...
Yes.
Would be football karma for this

Yes, but the current difference is Sweden on +1 and Germany on -1, so even the smallest goal swing would level that up.
That blonde swede...
Germany would probably go through as it's only two goal swing.
In that case Germany only needs to win against SK and Sweden’s result is irrelevant. Sweden would need to win while Germany lose.
Sane, Goretzka, Sule, Brandt, Tah and Werner. + Kimmich.
Pundits are right, Boateng is a lazy fecker
Has Boateng forgotten which position he plays?
I swear Messi tracks back better than he has in this game.

Yip, that's what I meant.
Still remember watching it and my Dad swearing even more than he normally did watching Germany.
I still believe, Sweden.
That one on the right was
And people want Boateng...
The feck is boateng playing at?
Ter Stegen -- Kimmich, Sule, Tah, P.Max -- Weigl, Goretzka, Sane, Brandt, RW -- Werner
Good spotThat blonde swede...
