Thanks for pointing that out for us. 🙄
My pleasure.

My point was that you can be the best team in the world going forward and score 5 great goals but if your defence is poor and lets in 6 then its a waste.

The best teams don't always win. The most organised often do.

I agree. The Germans are famous for efficiency and good organisation, and how many times have they won? More than a lot of teams who are very good going forward. Mind you this time round their back four look slightly lost.

I think the African nations will test the defence of some teams, but they don't really have a hope of winning.

Every World Cup people say how the African teams are going to be a big force in world football.
It never seems to quite work out for them, although I expect it will one day.
There often seems to be a plucky no-hoper who goes further than expected though, whether it's Cameroun, Senegal or South Korea.

If Ivory Coast had been drawn in one of the other groups, I think they would have had done well. It's pretty sucky being drawn against Argentina and the Netherlands, compared to the draw that Togo received for instance.

Ivory Coast v Argentina is one of the games so far where both teams were pretty impressive.
