The Greatest World Cup Preview in the History of the World: Group D
Again no intro, just a soccer video instead:
That video was called the best of soccer, so if its not the best of soccer then I was duped by false advertising. My apologies. It does have a sweet Euro tune to it though.
Group D
MEXICO
FIFA Ranking: 4
Elo Ranking: 15
Why I like Mexico: Have you seen this group? Angola asked me to play for them and I don’t even own shoes. Rumour has it that its a good place to vacation too.
Why I don’t like Mexico: They are always overrated and choke it out in these things. I once had a bad experience with tequila.
Outlook: Advancing
IRAN
FIFA Ranking: 23
Elo Ranking: 17
Why I like Iran: My old hairdresser was from Iran, and since he left I haven’t found anyone good to replace him. Please come back to me Iranian haridresser.
Why I don’t like Iran: The hairdressers brother once charged me $20 to screw on my license plate, bastard.
Outlook: They’ll beat Angola!! But that’s it.
ANGOLA
FIFA Ranking: 57
Elo Ranking: 61
Why I like Angola: Umm, well that’s a pretty cool flag they have. They’ve done nothing to offend me.
Why I don’t like Angola: They’ve been in this World Cup thing a few times, and never win. Give it up Angola.
Outlook: Same old.
PORTUGAL
FIFA Ranking: 7
Elo Ranking: 9
Why I like Portugal: I know some Portuguesse people. They seem to like me. Also because their word for chicken is frangos.
Why I don’t like Portugal: When they lose all their fans automatically become Brazilian. Pick one team and stick with it. Drives me crazy.
Outlook: Mexico should win this pool, but Portugal will advance.
