Love those cloud shapes as the sun starts to set, MFI.
It sure was a crazy group play round. As you noted, Germany (#2) is out, the highest ranked team ever to be out after group play phase. Also out are #7 Canada and #8 Brazil. USA (#1) barely advanced and looks likely to make a quick departure. On a positive note, these teams overachieved to advance: #72 Morocco (the lowest ranked team ever to advance and I believe one of a few teams - or maybe the only team - to advance is its first World Cup), #54 South Africa, #43 Jamaica, and #40 Nigeria.
I haven't yet made my predictions on the remaining games; will probably do that later tonight or early tomorrow.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
