Brazil united it's people yesterday with an opening 3-1 win over Croatia, but they will have to improve their game of they want to lift the cup. Controversial refereeing and a lackluster, slow performance from the Brazilians made for a shaky kick off to this World Cup. Golden boy, Neymar Jr., netted two goals to begin his first World Cup campaign in style.
Match Day 2 will provide three exciting games: MEXvsCAM, NEDvsESP, and CHIvsAUS. The highlight of this day is obviously the 2010 final rematch of NEDvsESP in Group B. These European powerhouses will meet again in an important game that may be key in deciding who advances from this challenging group. Diego Costa makes his first World Cup appearance for the reigning champions with questions surrounding how he will mesh with their offense.
Chile has the look of a dark horse team that could make a run through this tournament. Their hopes rest on the shoulders of Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal.
Today's Games:
Mexico vs. Cameroon, Natal 9:00 PST.
Spain vs. Netherlands, Salvador 12:00 PST.
Chiles vs. Australia, Cuiaba 15:00 PST.
My Picks:
Mexico
Spain
Chile
