Leading teams can't win.

The game Germany vs. Serbia finished just now. Germany lost...
I'm cheering for England and Denmark, but actually I also like Germany. After England was beaten in the last World Cup, I cheered for Germany and they placed 3rd! Many players from the last World Cup are playing this time, so I feel familiarity with the Germany team.

Although they won the first game, which was versus Australia, 4-0, in this time, they lost.
In the latter half, although Germany had a lot of chance to get scores, Lukas Podolski missed shots. He even missed a penalty kick. I can't believe! I'm sure everyone couldn't believe.

In this World Cup, strong teams can't win except for Brazil and Argentina, so far.
France ended in a scoreless tie in their first game, and surprisingly, in their second game versus Mexico, they lost!!
Spain also lost their first game versus Switzerland!!
England, Italy and Portugal ended in a tie in their first game.

I hope England can win the next game. They have to win!

Mexico over France did not surprise me too much. This is a team that got here via a handball . . .

And Mexico is pretty solid otherwise. . .

And Spain always gets upset. Maybe they are forever cursed because of the Spanish Inquisition.

Haha! Funny!!
By the way, the US ended in a tie against Slovenia, right? The game was very exciting and the US played very well, especially in the latter half!!

Thanks. Yeah, we have to win our next game though, if we are to go through to the next round.

Based on the results thus far its pretty apparent that South America is the strongest soccer continent...

Yes, the countries in South America got a good result so far, while European countries can't show a good performance.
