Day 5: Messssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

pic cred- Shamir

YAAAAA MESSSSIIIII! It was not the best game by the best team in the world but the job got done! You can only improve from here! Messi getting that goal was probably the best thing that could have happened to him. With 3 players on Messi all the time, Aguero, Di Maria, Higuain and Rodriguez really need to step up and finish plays and give room so the master can play! For now, basking in this glory for sure!!

Yesterday I went 3/3 with calling two games down to its score! (Zakir had 2/3 right) Switzerland game was really entertaining and France looks really good. They might surprise the world by going deep in this tournament, Benzema looks like he means serious business!

Today's games continue the trend of the past days... super exciting matchups, these are sooooo difficult to call!
> Germany and Portugal has to be one of the most interesting matchups in this group! We haven't seen a tie yet in the World Cup and I would think that this would very well be a tie game, I give Germany a slight bit of a margin as this would be their 100th WC game (Zakir says Germany)
> Nigeria should be able to take this one over Iran. (Zakir says Iran takes this :( )
> Although Ghana is one of the strongest African teams and has beat USA before, twice, USA wins this narrowly. Klinsman as a coach should make a big difference on this squad. I do see a possible tie for this one as well. (Zakir says Ghana!!!)

VAMOS, VAMOS, ARGENTINA!!!

16 days to go!!!!!!
