Soccer 2 the MAX

On this World Cup edition of Soccer 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer and Erik Watkins discuss three days worth of action, as the second round of group games come to a close.

Who's in a better position Brazil or Germany after their close calls with stoppage time miracles. CONCACAF sees two of their teams eliminated, while Mexico will most likely top their group. What does it say about the confederation as a whole?

North African teams are officially eliminated. So it is all down to Nigeria and Senegal to keep the dream alive. But could Nigeria have kept it alive for Lionel Messi and company to take the second spot? And who gets out of Group H after Colombia's goal filled against Poland.

Finally, who had the better showing England or Belgium? And does it really matter where they end up? Or should England try to come out topping the whole thing? Plus, birthday shenanigans for Erik, and much more.

How did Croatia control the game? Should we question Lionel Messi's care for the squad? And could Croatia make a deep run after what they showed. Also, who looked better Denmark or France? All this and more.
