it's got to be said of the four/five "favourites" we have seen so far none have been very convincing, Spain, Argentina and Germany look very vulnerable at the back, France were poor generally and Portugal are one Ronaldo injury away from oblivion. Brazil won't be fearing anyone (if they ever did anyway)
Neither should England fear anyone from what I've seen so far
3 players left up at all times against Hummels and Boateng, interesting strategy, Germany need to drop Khedira deeper or drop the fullbacks to even the odds. They were calling Kimmich the best full back in the world earlier, he's been pants so far
It'll be interesting to see what happens if Mexico hold on.
The winners of Brazil's group face the second place team in Germany's group... if Mexico top the group and Germans came second, we could have Brazil v Germany round of 16.
The winner of that match would face the winner of England's group in the quarter final, if they got through the round of 16. While second place in England's group would face Mexico or Serbia or similar.

Just interviewed Southgate, and he said he's only one of four people to have played for and managed England. Who are the others? I'm guessing Hoddle and Keegan. Who else?

what do you do now if you're Mexico? Sit back invite the pressure and hit on the break? Or keep on going for it and leaving men up? Iceland they ain't, so you got to imagine they will keep things open?

Lahm is a huge miss for Germany I must say.
Alf Ramsey?
It can't only be 4
