THE GROUPS

Here they are, the groups. Here is my thoughts, group by group

GROUP A

Group of the host nation Russia, group of Uruguay. They will both go to the next round. Saudiarabia, is way to weak to be in the Cup this year. Egypt has the amazing Salah, but it is not enough. 

Salah (Liverpool), with mild injury first game - on the bench

GROUP B

Well, what do we have here. Both Marocco and Iran is not half bad, got focus and individual skills on a high level. But then there is Portugal. There is Spain. No doubt, they are top two. 

GROUP C

I got a hunch, it is France year. I had it a long time. With that, I mean to say - they are by far favourites to get the whole shablam, the works. The team is young, strong, complete on all positions. Griezmann grew a blond mane - what can go wrong? Pogba is all there, a little more mature.

But anything can happen, it always, always does.

 As far as Australia goes, I wish them all the luck in the world. I have my beloved friends, who even refuses to see them play. Come on, there could always be a glimmer - moment, Cahill is still with us! 

But lovely Socceroos, will end dead last. Peru got heart, will and who knows? 

But basically: My friends Denmark will get to the next stage with France. Boring footie or not. GO DENMARK! Era FIDUSER!!

Yumsie Yumsie - World Cup! Je suis une Baguette!

And then there is young Padowan , Kylian Mbappe 

GROUP D

Argentina! Croatia! ICELANDS! Nigeria! Everyone's favourite cuddelballs of Lava and underdogness, Iceland sure did not get an easy group, no not at all.
The easiest tip would of course be Argentina, Croatia will go ahead.
Then there is my big burning heart, that I share with the success story of the islanders I love.
Therefor, I can't. Or rather wont give a theory. Nigeria can always be strong, have so much to win as a nation in chaos.
 Could this be the group of a new world order?  How much would i grief if Argentina failed?
It is the World Cup - what a group.

Then there was the first game proving just that. A 1 - 1 draw.

GROUP E

Brazil, Brazil, Brazil oh - oh. E campeo? Always betted favourites. Carries a huge burden by last Cup's collapse. So many stars, the Neymar Jr guy. The rest. The Samba. Let us see. Switzerland is a strong team, Shaqiri and all.
Sebia will have it extreamly tough - and do anyone expect a new summer sensation of Costa Rica, rica rica? Who knows. Here's hope asnd wishes for a spectacular ride.
But Brasil and Switzerland, walkes out top two. Oder?

Turning up like this spagetti monster, jinxed it all first game agains the Swiss. 1 - 1 was a fact


GROUP F
SWEDEN SVERIGES SCHWEDEN's group, foremost. Well, also the German World Champions from last tiem around. Mexico and South Korea.
Let me just say it shortly. Germany must. With the team, with it all - from my heart, do it for me and all of us who loves you so one more time around.
Then from will power, Sweden will trickle through.
South Korea, nah. Mexico - I do not want to think of them. They can always, they might. So I decide to not think about them. Hope all the scandals and bizarr behaviour will shake them. Germany and Sweden makes it to the next tages.

Granen - the gran. It was not grand - but it was 3 points. The Gran is therefor GRANDE!

GROUP G
Belgium is no longer the hyped up youngsters with stars in their eyes and skillz in their system ( and legs). They now enter the World Cup as a medal favourite, nothing less. So let's see! Of course, Panama  - little Panama wouldn't stand any chance. Tunisia could not meassure up. England got the Kane, lower expectations then ever - wich could mean the can surprise us truly. Hmm, that itself, might leadc to expectations. Nevermind: Belgium and England will move on.

Well , The Kanester celebrates breaking Tunisia by a squeeqe with two strikes in premiere game 2 - 1

GROUP H

Lewandowski's Polen, will they make a whoop? Senegal - would they dance for an advance? Can Japan surprise and go the way the in the past proven many times around? Then there is Colombia, with the amazing success last time around, the James and the Salsa. Colombia and Senegal. Wait Japan and Polen. No, I have no beliefe in Poland this time around. Or my wild guess now: Japan and Senegal will take it further. I did watch round one writing this last guess. Meaning: I am not wiser. My hope wants Colombia and Senegal to advance. It is footie.
That is why I love it so.
