Did Nike just use a Photoshop template and change the colors and crest?

I'm STOKED for the World Cup! I wish it came around more often than every four years. Gotta be cheering for America even though we're in the group of death haha.

Second generation American here. Family from Germany, so naturally, I root for die Mannschaft. I'm honestly a bit worried about them as they didn't look totally dominant against Chile, but then again, we were missing a lot of key players. I reckon Germany and Portugal make it out of the group, with the USA not winning a single match (drawing with Ghana).

The only team I'm truly worried about the Germans playing is Brazil. I feel as though Spain is getting too old to compete and they have too much pressure to win again, so they will fall flat in the round of 16 (my guess). France and the Netherlands are in the same boat as far as I'm concerned. Good talent, yet lack the killer instinct. Portugal is nothing without Ronaldo, so not worried there. Lahm will have his number all day. Argentina/Uruguay are also lumped together, as they both have relatively weak defenses. The attacking prowess of Gotze/Reus/Gomez/Kroos/Klose will be too much. Not to mention Germany has a far superior midfield. That leaves Brazil, which has the home field advantage. They will be playing at a higher level, but I feel as though pressure will bog them down (especially being led by Neymar... -.- )


So that's my prediction. Germany has maybe 10 years of good solid football ahead of them, so its reasonable to assume they will have a good chance at winning. Last I checked, Germany was at 5/1, with Brazil at 8/3, the only team ahead of them.

Hopefully this years is good too. Though unfortunately, don't think anything will ever again match how good 2010s was in terms of viewing experience for me. Not talking about the game itself, but the way I watched it(during various classes at school,and even had my own "private viewing party" in the schools auditorium with a 200 inch projection screen. Attended by all of like 10 people(only ones in my class who wanted to join in) and crashed by the school principal and vice principal(who both just stayed and watched it with us lol))
