2014 World Cup: Group A

Brazil 2-1-0 (+5) 7

Mexico 2-1-0 (+3) 7

Croatia 1-0-2 (EV) 3
Cameroon 0-0-1 (-5) 0

 

While I would love to see this group get interesting I do not expect anything less than an easy road for Brazil.  I expect them to roll with all nine points and then roll into the quarters.  Even the battle for second does not interest me much.  The winner likely gets Spain in the Round of 16 and even if Chile or the Dutch comes out on top in Group B I do not see any of these teams making much noise.  Should either Croatia or Mexico earn a point against Brazil they have a huge advantage, although I do not see either happening.  For my prediction I will go with Croatia finishing second before falling easily to Spain.

Perhaps it's my hatred for Neymar, but I actually think Croatia has a very decent shot to draw against Brazil IF the host country doesn't get a couple of political calls. Croatia is home to the best midfield combo in the world, and with Mandzukic up top trying to show out for prospective clubs can definitely give Brazil trouble.

My prediction is that Croatia goes up early. Brazil has a lot of weight on them and they will come out tense. Croatia has a solid attack with Modric, Rakitic, and Mandzukic. However, I think the second half is all Brazil. Brazil by a goal.

      Another, Another Bryce Breakdown

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      That's neither on Ickey nor Bryce, that's a coverage sack. There were plenty of examples where he drifted into pressure or didn't move in the right direction, but on this play we sent two men out deep and Max Protected with both TEs and the RB staying back to block. Both receivers were completely covered down the field with zero checkdown options and the pass rush got home. Bryce took a deep drop back due to the PA and to let the receivers get deeper. That was the play design This sack isn't "Clearly on the QB". There were plenty of examples where Bryce drifts in the pocket or bailed toward pressure last season (open up a random clip from the Jags game for examples), but this is not one of them. Blame Frank and his dumbass playcalling/design for sending two slow receivers who don't get open well on deep routes with no other options on this one.

      Some things look horrible but you had the position covered. Some things look horrible because they really were.

      Well this one is more like it, 28-3 Falcons in the 3rd before I just stopped.  Sorry.  Bryce lovers: watch the Chicago game not this one. Bet the farm on Bryce.
