    So far Spain look the most dangerous and despite getting 3 goals against, their balance between defence and attack looked good. Brazil again looked to have a good balance and a very potent attack. The Germans need to adjust the formation and not be so arrogant and this loss may well mean they change.

    Nothing decideed yet and despite the results so far these 3 will come close.

    not sure i'm a big fan of Brazil yet, They didn't look like they could control a game and a solid but unimaginative swiss side caused they problems!

    France will always be there or there abouts because they look solid and unimaginative.

    Spain for me if they can get over their lack of a manager are my faves.

    I'm going to stick with Germany to win it despite that loss.

    I’m going for either Argentina or Spain, deciding to be indecisive.

    Still think the Germans will be there or thereabouts. Whatever people say about their team, they’re virtually always there in the final mix.

    Plus Sane didn't get picked because he's not a team player, the other pros were getting pissed off with him. Lowe made the correct decision in omitting him.

    Can't stand Brazil, they have an air of 'we are Brazil...watch this' before stumbling to a draw v the Swiss. Can't wait for Brazil to get KO'd and fir me to laugh my cock off at Neymar crying.

    Didn't know about him being a bit of a twat I just thought they looked at Draxler and Brandt and made a call.

    Sweden 0-0 South Korea

    At last some enterprising stuff from South Korea. Ki Sung-yueng is the catalyst spraying the ball wide but nothing is doing when Son Heung-min falls in the Sweden penalty area under a challenge from Ludwig Augustinsson.

    That was never a penalty. Get up!
