          It's not certain whether it will be France or Spain (hell, theoretically it might even be New Zealand) that finishes 2nd in group D, so losing on purpose wouldn't be so smart. Also it's not clear, which of these teams is a harder opponent now. France did manage to beat Spain...

            U know what's the most interesting part? That both teams may try 2 lose the match without even knowing who they face if they lose. That's because France faces New Zealand later and they can pick an opponent according 2 their result!
            Imagine if Greece loses intentionally 2 Russia in order 2 finish 3rd and avoid Spain only 2 find out that France lost 2 New Zealand, which sends Spain to 2nd place and against Greece in the second round.

              You have to look one step ahead.

                Oh, I forgot, second place means the U.S. in the quarter-finals, right? Still, I don't think they're going to try to lose intentionally. It's hard to predict everything, it's best to try to win every game.

                  I hope we'll try to win.I'm sure Russians won't try.We have not the performance of a great team yet,let's have at least the mentality of a great team.

                  Spain as an appetizer and USA as the main plate!

                    I don't think the problem is Spain but the USA. We can beat Spain if we really want to, but USA is another thing, I don't think we can do the same thing we did 4 years ago, that's past, things have changed, USA is full of young players with talent, the chances for us to beat USA are low, like 1%

                    but again, as someone said earlier to my post and I agree, we just have to play and win, as for who comes to our way, well that's not something we should decide.

                    We can beat Russia, their team is mediocre, Greece can handle such teams

                      The litany against fear is an incantation used by the Bene Gesserit

                      I must not fear.
                      Fear is the mind-killer.
                      Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
                      I will face my fear.
                      I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
                      And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
                      Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
                      Only I will remain.

                        If New Zealand beats France and Spain beats Canada, 3 teams are 3-2. Spain has +11 in goal average, France has +6 before the game (so, they won't finish 2nd if they lose) and New Zealand has -17 (needs to win by 29 to be 2nd, +12 to be 3rd). On that case, Greece and Russia have all the interest to win this game.

                          You are very confident Anyway, I share your opinion, a team with Greece hopes should play always to win and not thinking in the opponent in the eights and then in the quarters.
