1 The prevailing claim among some football commentators around the world is that the Germans did benefit from the entry of foreigners in large numbers into the national teams, which brought about a more aggressive and daring football, one that erases the robotic image;
But on the other hand, in the games, something in the German DNA is cracked, because Germany is not defensive enough.
Indeed, the Mannschaft is having many difficulties, and no one in Germany is any longer sure that the team will go all the way.

It is impossible to explain (in a rational way) what caused the second and third generations of Moroccans in Belgium to celebrate the historic victory in the group stage by burning cars and confrontations with the police, in the country where they live.

What's going on with the Canadians?
It will be fascinating to follow Canadian soccer when the World Cup games will be hosted by the country in four years.
Guts say the Americans may be making tremendous professional progress, but the Canadians remind us how the game should really be played.
