Day 6: The Rising Sun, The Lions, The Pharaohs .... and the Russians!

What a day for the #nathooligans! Both Zizi and Zak called out the win for japan but off with the rest. I was totally off on all my picks today. Group H was a wild card but is shaping up to be very interesting. Oh Colombia! Love the Colombians, definitely the nicest people I have met in my trip to Brazil in 2014. Very unfortunate with the red card and they could have pulled out a tie even with one person short. I think they can still win the next two games, they just seem so strong with Flacao and J. Rodriguez. Finally an African team wins! The Lions of Teranga pulled a very important win to give them a very good chance to get through the group. Now.... Russia.. did anyone think they will have scores 8 goals in two games?!?! The most anticipated return of Mo Salah ended up with a very sloppy turn out by the Pharoahs. Salah looked a bit rusty but more careful than anything else so as to not hurt his shoulder. May be it was a bad idea to make him sit the first game which was quite winnable. The Russians are definitely surprising everyone with the way they are representing as the host nation. On to the next set of games...
Zak: Portugal wins 3-0, Uruguay wins 5-0, Spain wins 3-2
Zizi: Portugal wins 2-1, Saudirido wins 3-1, Iran wins 3-0
Farz: Portugal wins 2-1, Uruguay wins 3-0, Spain wins 2-0
