To me, all these predictions are a little specious. I mean, the randomness of who will win each match is what makes the tournament great. In my opinion, it could be any one of these teams that goes on to lose to Germany in the final.

It is a trick corner, the commentator is right, people try it in the 10-15 year old leagues and they fail then, why would it work in the World Cup?

by design, supposed to lull the defense/keeper into thinking that he was just leaving the ball off for someone else to take the corner while someone races onto it and bends a ball in to unmarked players. Oldest trick in the book, but it has worked in the past.

But it is a horrible play and only works maybe <0.1% of the time.
For a team of this caliber to try it is beyond me, I would punch a teammate if he tried that.
