Brazil 2-1-0 (+5) 7

Mexico 2-1-0 (+3) 7

Croatia 1-0-2 (EV) 3
Cameroon 0-0-1 (-5) 0

 

While I would love to see this group get interesting I do not expect anything less than an easy road for Brazil.  I expect them to roll with all nine points and then roll into the quarters.  Even the battle for second does not interest me much.  The winner likely gets Spain in the Round of 16 and even if Chile or the Dutch comes out on top in Group B I do not see any of these teams making much noise.  Should either Croatia or Mexico earn a point against Brazil they have a huge advantage, although I do not see either happening.  For my prediction I will go with Croatia finishing second before falling easily to Spain.

Perhaps it's my hatred for Neymar, but I actually think Croatia has a very decent shot to draw against Brazil IF the host country doesn't get a couple of political calls. Croatia is home to the best midfield combo in the world, and with Mandzukic up top trying to show out for prospective clubs can definitely give Brazil trouble.

My prediction is that Croatia goes up early. Brazil has a lot of weight on them and they will come out tense. Croatia has a solid attack with Modric, Rakitic, and Mandzukic. However, I think the second half is all Brazil. Brazil by a goal.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
