Nigeria was spent at the end.
They went into prevent defense late and got burned.

I am not a big fan of France but neither Nigeria nor Argentina is a serious threat to France. As sour as I was with Argentina I had them advance out of the group. But they severely underperformed in all 3 games.That’s true. I still hope for Argentina because I think they pose the greater challenge for France.

Senegal's warm up routine reminds me of the movie "Titans".
Rudy had multiple breaks of the nasal bone. They hope he might be able to play next game with a mask - if there is another game.Germany benched Mueller for today’s game. I have to say it is much deserved. He has been bad . . . But I watch enough Bayern games to know this guy can be a spark off the bench so maybe it will help him going forward.
Goretska gets the start as does Sule. Sule is a glove fit for Boateng so this is nothing.
Glad Yogi is getting a look at a Goretska. I have seen enough of Draxler . . . .good player but I honestly would rather Ozil in as we see today. Draxler has not found his footing on this team yet.
Khedira is in . . . .would rather Rudy but he may still be recovering. Hopefully Sami can give us some positive football today.
We need a 2-0 win just to leave tiebreakers out of any equation.
Safe to say Reus/Werner/Kroos are the untouchables in the front 6 . . . .need to figure out the other 3 guys heading into the hopeful knockout rounds.
