The only team I was truly impressed with at all was Germany. Brazil is good but they almost lost/tied to N. Korea in their opening match. England isn't as good as they think they are, and the U.S. defense is a joke. If the U.S. does advance they will be stopped cold in the round of 16 by Germany. Mesut ?zil is easily one of the best players in this World Cup and at the age of 21 the Germans has quite a few years to watch him progress. Spain is definitely not going to win, the odds are against them at this point with that loss to the Swiss.
I feel that the German team, though young, is the most complete and well rounded team in the tournament. Can't wait to see them in action tomorrow morning bright and early at 7:30! :glare:
