Just the first game of interest to me

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!..

You can have my seat and don't call me shirley

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

Have you got the line-up please.

Apparently it's actually a back four with Howedes and Boateng in the fullback positions and Lahm in midfield, with no Schweinsteiger. Seems bizarre to play CB's at fullback, with the worlds best FB in midfield, while so many great midfielders are on the bench

Nani has hardly played a game this season yet still starts for Portugal. Baffling.

 

[Mayor West]

Really looking forward to this one.

 

[BigOscar]

He's actually looked really sharp in the latest friendlies, and the options are a bit slim otherwise with Quaresma left at home.

There are baffling elements for both starting elevens.

"Deutschland, Deutschland, uber alles"

see the modern day Reich chancellor isn't too concerned about the Eurozone as she's happy to attend.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Who is the Drug Cartel patriarch on the Portuguese squad?
