Slovakia vs Austria
Local Derby match between two teams destined for glory this summer!
Oh, and by "glory", I mean making it to the next round by finishing 3rd
in their groups.
England vs Brasil and Germany vs France have S America and Europe's
greatest teams ever vs England and France. I can say greatest if you go
by World or Euro or Copa America trophies and if you went further by
giving out points for 2nd or 3rd and final standings, probably Brazil
and Germany would be ahead in that as well-I could be wrong about S
america if you give a lot of weight to Copa americas.
But, no one will be surprised if Both Brasil and Germany lose today.
Niether team is what they used to be. I would say things look better for Brasil in that they have some decent young players coming up, Germany
has one player. All the other players J-Nag is picking are journeymen players in their late 20s or old players, who are still good, but older,
like in their mid 30s. In my mind they didn't pick the old guy I would
have picked in Hummells. I dont think I would pick Muller or even Kroos anymore, though I have less problem with Kroos.
Brasil is missing a lot of players for this one, but the English love
the idea of winning a match vs Brasil almost as much as winning a match
vs Germany.
So what is the deal with Neymar, he kinda went into a semi retirement
about 10 years ago, he only plays in matches or cups where there is
drinking and sex and parties and I get that, but you cant always have
that. And it just isnt the time for it now, when all these old, top
Brasil players are getting charged with rape. I think little Robinho is
the latest guy?
Meanwhile France are the current top team in Europe, yet they still play
with an old guy up front, granted he looks marvelous, but it just tells
you, that maybe having old guys isnt such a bad thing, I am assuming
Giroud is playing.
For England they are probably 2nd or 3rd favourites this summer along
with Portugal, so a win would definitely have an uplifting affect on the team, not to mention having the media declare them de facto EURO 24 champions.
For a Derby match Slovakia vs Austria have only met 5 times? That cant
be true?

Arrested yesterday, will serve in Brasil the sentence he was given in

It is not really a rivalry, though maybe Werner will tell me otherwise.
I would say Germany and then Hungary, Swiss, Dutch, Italians maybe
France would be bigger games for the Austrians.
But anyhow, a good win vs a team that only lost by one goal, twice, to projected EURO 24 winners Portugal in qualifying.
The record breaking goal that only took 6 seconds-which is a record-by Baumgartner was kinda Maradonaesque, in that he went through 3 or 4
players from the centre circle to goal, though the shot was longer
distance, but I thought he looked good in this game and the team looked
more a unit. So even though they are in a tough group ( and we dont even
know the 4th team), I think they will do better than the last coupe of
EM catastrophes.
England vs Brasil and Germany vs France have S America and Europe's
greatest teams ever vs England and France. I can say greatest if you

Kroos.
I thought Kroos was very good today.
But England 0 vs 1 Brasil, was the early match and England looked good
for about 10 mins, but then Brasil had the better chances and probably deserved to win 1-0. Yes the were missing Harrykane and Trippier and
walker went off early, it was still a pretty good England squad vs a
brand new brasil team, with new players and new coaches and new shoes. Apparently if I believe the commentator the new Brasil Head Coach has managed 20 teams in Brazil in the last 24 years? Which means he must be good, like those numbers are better than Felix's.
AS much as the English press love to declare England winner when they
beat a team better than Denmark, they also love to shit on them too. So
you know that Southgate will be fired, England will go out in the group
stage and now all English players do not have the skill level of a 14
year old Brasilian.
I was going to ask what went wrong with Germany after 2014/2016, but
it seems now they're beating France in Lyon?
I want to say France are playing games in order to give the Germans a
false sense of security, they were giving the ball away in their own
half so easily, I will say Germany moved the ball better and controlled
the pace more than what we have seen from them recently, but it may have
more to do with France being bad. I mean maybe the France cycle is over
and it is Italy's turn to be good, I cant keep up with all the cycles
and how they change.
But yes germany actually looked better than they have in years, I am
gonna say it, and it is along running joke, but Leroy Sane and Emre Can
were NOT playing today and look at the result. But seriously, Rudiger
and Tah si an intereseting defensive pairing, I like Kimmich as a wing
back, Mittlestadt was good until he almost own goaled at the end, the Journeymen call ups all did well enough, maybe J-Nag will develop some magical tactics that will over come the lack of quality.. Having said
that Wirtz is a top player.
Brasil is missing a lot of players for this one, but the English love

One of the above is not like the others.
Hungary, sure, always fun to break out the old joke, Switzerland OK, but
more on club level. Italy, France, Netherlands - nah, never been in the
same ballpark.
Interestingly enough, I’d add Sweden to the list instead.
Ok, I can see Germany, Hungary and Switzerland. But why Sweden?
I remember you once mentioned the qualifiers to WC'1974, but then surely there have been other close matches between these two before or since?

I can think of one historic Austria match in Sweden... Not against
