As a German, I will be donning my Germany kit, decking out my car and house with flags and shit and rooting for the Deutscher Fussball Bund.

DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES.

Oh, man....Marco Reus getting injured is a major blow for us. The toughest game is on Monday against Portugal. I really hope Loew has an appropriate plan in place for the game because Portugal has the deadliest counter-attack in the tournament in my opinion. They thrived off of it at the Euro.

This year's world cup will be fun to watch because I don't think there's a true favorite, anyone can win it. It'd be nice to see Brazil win it on their own turf but they'll have to go through some pretty tough competition to do it. I doubt Spain will have the same success they did four years ago and the US team looks a little too young and inexperienced to do much against Germany and Portugal to get out of the group stages.

John Oliver's bang-on take of FIFA is exactly the reason I hate it and yet still watch it.

I was in a German Pub in London when Reus went down and I swear you could see tears in people's eyes as the realization that he would miss the World Cup came to their heads. Luckily we have a plethora of players that can assume the left position like Podolski, Schurrle and Draxler to name a few.

With the leadership of Lahm and Schweinsteiger, and the guidance of Low combined with the striking power of Ozil, Gotze and Klose, and the stopping abilities of Neuer, we are definitely strong contenders this year. I look forward to seeing them clash with equally strong teams.

Incredible game, the Dutch were definitely looking for revenge after the 2010 World Cup defeat. Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben's goals were fantastic, including this one so cleverly referred to as the Flying Dutchman.

Will be interesting to see which two teams will progress.

Wow, Spain's system is having problems. They will bring back the False 9 in their next match so expect them to rebound. As for The Netherlands, I guess Van Der Vaart not playing is the best thing that happened to them.

Van Persie was all but written off after a disappoiting season due to injury and shite Man Utd team but this highlights the fact that he wants to play till at least 42.... on this evidence alone.....

Mueller kicked some Ronaldo butt today! Germany yerrrr

I still wasn't very content with our performance. The scoreline is fooling alot of people. We got lucky that the reff was barraging Portugal with soft calls. I feel for their fans a bit. When that happens to you in game, you self destruct. That's what happened to Portugal. They held up against us pretty well with 10 men, possession was pretty even and they outshot us by one. They will come out guns blazing against the US. I still expect them to make it through.

I wholeheartedly agree. However, I would like to give a little more credit to the German team. I feel that we perform better under pressure and the fact that we seemed to have all the time and all the space in the world following Pepe being sent off was a bit overwhelming. We also need to work a little on our finishing. Gotze missed a few good opportunities but that's expected of a young player.

The possibility of Hummels being out with an injury will hopefully put Lahm back in his right-back position and leave a spot for Schweinsteiger in the middle. With those two leading, I fear we would be unstoppable. Still, it gave me great pleasure to see Ronaldo so distraught after what Real Madrid did to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

I had the chance to watch Belgium vs Algeria match and it was awesome!

Here's a couple pics at the stadium:

Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who?

I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
