FIFA Commentating

Disclaimer: I am merely a 16.5 year old with no expertise on football. Cheers mate!

HEY FRIENDS,
SOO it started with a kick, and an own goal ( :( ) and so far, one thing 2014 has taught me is that the world cup IS HELLA UNPREDICTABLE :P

The only match I have so far been able to correctly predict was the opener! Damn :/
I am uber excited for next stage, although I am totally dismayed about England and Spain!
The thing is, most people would've assumed that a defending title-holder would reach at least knock out stage, but no such luck with Espana.

First, I wanna revisit some of my favourite matches so far. (Top 5)
1. England vs Italy                
2. Australia vs Netherlands  
3. Switzerland vs France
4. Brazil vs Mexico
5. Uruguay vs England

Who do I predict shall win?
Well before the draw between Germany and Ghana, and the last minute goal from Messi, my eyes were set on Germany and Argentina. Now, I reckon Germany still have it, Belgium may have a shot, Netherlands are quite there, and Brazil if they hasten a little.

Who do I want to win?
If you haven't already gathered, I am huge with the Portuguese, that is Brazil and Portugal. Also, during 2010, Germany vs Argentina (4-0) , I fell in love with Deutschland!

Players that have been good thus far
- Luis Suarez
- Thomas Muller
- Robin Van Persie
- Argen Robben
- Guillermo Ochoa
- Alexis Sanchez
- Karim Benzema
- Tim Cahill
- Eden Hazard
- Alireza Haghigni
- Daniel Sturridge
- Neymar Junior :D
- Oscar

There are heaps more that I cannot remember off the top of my mind, but these guys were brilliant, even if some of there teams were not quite top-notch.

Predictions for next set of matches?
Belgium vs Russia -  Belgium win, 3:1
Korea Republic vs Algeria- draw 1:1
US vs Portugal- Portugal**: 2-1

**Hopefully Ronaldo will be able to play!
