Default World Cup GDT: June 16th

Do you guys want me to keep doing these?

==============================

Monday June 16th

10:00 AM Germany (2) vs. Portugal (4) (Group Go)
1:00 PM Iran (43) vs. Nigeria (44) (Group Flames)
4:00 PM Ghana (37) vs. USA (13) (Group Go)

Numbers in brackets are FIFA rankings.

Games should be good day with only the USA a clear favorite in its match.

Finally, Germany starts playing.

Game today should mostly settle who goes first and second in this group, but you never know.

So, German fans. What's your thoughts or what's the reaction over there on Beckenbauer getting banned?

I think they will finally be a draw today.

I'm nervous about this game, Germany is going to try Spain's 'false-nine' nonsense.

Here's to Germany blowing out Portugal. Also, hope for an Iranian win for Whitecap's Beitashour.

As for the US, obviously they need to win against Ghana and draw/win against Portugal as their viable path.

Going to enjoy the day of soccer at AO headquarters with a bunch of crazy Americans!

.....................Neuer
Boateng - Mertesacker - Hummels - Howedes
........Lahm - Khedira
.....Ozil - Kroos - Gotze
............ Muller

Not a fan of this lineup. Would much rather see Ozil in the middle, Gotze/Muller on the right and Podolski/Schurrle on the left. And of course the best RB in the world actually play his position

EDIT: In Loew we trust!

Is Muller really a false 9?

He isn't your traditional 9 but he has great movement and was the golden boot winner at the 2010 world cup.

Playing Lahm out of position is probably one of my biggest annoyances this season.

Drop one of Boateng or Howedes, move Lahm back and play Schweinsteiger.

i don't see how Germany can attack with that lineup.. Ronaldo will run rampant down the left.
