Just the first game of interest to me

I think Germany to beat Portugal, Nigeria to beat Iran and Ghana and the USA to draw.

 

[jared]

No city players today?


Portugal got a chance although I think it will be a draw. They are quite strong in midfield and with Ronaldo, the counterattack would be lethal if Germany gets caught out. Plus I dun fancy Germany's defence. the bayern champ league semi tells us , their defence can be destroyed either on set pieces or rapid counterattack.

My last attempt at predicting the scores didn't go too well.
However.
Germany 3Portugal 2
Iran 1 Nigeria 3
Ghana 1 USA 1

No William Carvalho in Portugal's starting lineup and Almeida starting upfront. Very worrying.

Can't watch the Germany v Portugal game, I play football 5 til 6 at Platt Lane each Monday so by the time and done and home it'll be over. Still, at least I get to watch the game of the tournament later, Nigeria v Iran!

Germany look to be playing the worlds slowest back 3, with Boateng as a wingback? Very strange looking lineup.

Got to be a wind up, Shirley? I'd tell you to grab a seat for the Iran vs Nigeria match but I imagine you'll only need the edge of it!..

Have you got the line-up please.
