Ecuador look very tasty going forward

And they're goint to be able to keep pace well into the game since they live and train at altitude. This is looking like the first (minor) upset of the cup.

gggggggggooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllOk I know enough...

Equador will win this group, Poland second Germany third.

My reasoning.. Equador are very good on the counter, Poland are very strong at the back. I don't think Germany will score heavy against Poland and Poland will score against them easy enough.. Equador are strong enough at the back to keep out germany, and are excelent at the counter...

Poland woke up in the final minutes..

No luck for Poland in this game.

How do you people know all this stuff?
What channel is that?

 

[Anttech]

I live in Europe, most channels have the football.. To be exact I watched the Poland game on kanaal twee and the German game on BBC...

Sorry u arent able to watch it.. Go down to your nearest pub :)

In the US the games are on ESPN 2

Poland were very bad, i thought. Disorganized and without ideas, but credit to Ecuador's defense.
I don't believe Poland will beat Germany, even if Germany's defense is weaker than that which Ecuador put out today, since Poland play a similar style to Germany. On the other hand i wouldn't be surprised to see Ecuador upset Germany.
I'm watching the games on ESPN2 and Univision. Univision is actually playing every single match (ESPN2 isn't playing England-Paraguay but Univision is), but you have to be willing to put up with all the hysteria.

Honestly Equador beating Germany would be an upset. Most pundits here believe this is the worst German team for a long time, they don't deseve those 3 Stars!

IMO Poland were very well organsised at the back, I know this seems ironic because 2 goals were scored against them, but this (Equador) is the country that came third to Argentina and Brasil in the south American Group Zone. They even stuffed Argentina 2:0 in June Last Year.

Poland are beter defensively than DE, but probably lack a bit up front. However as we saw in the closing minutes they can attack. Poland have it right at the back Germany dont, this is why I see them beating Germany.

OK, I could not stay awake to watch Poland and Equador but the results were exactly what I had expected!
