1. Podium: Michael H. vs. Daniele: 60% vs. 41% -> 42% vs. 58%

I am 0.09 points behind. I think Michael's Cycle 1 players are done (unless Lloris gets a farewell match?), so I need two puny Thomas Muller caps (1/16 = 0.0625 each) to climb into first place. 4 caps and Neymar dropping out of the NT for good and I
might even catch Jesus.

Good to see that Dorival was clear-headed enough not to pick absymal Casemiro.

First Pogba, then Casemiro...Old Trafford, the Theatre of milivella's Dreams...

Thomas Müller (Daniele 1)

Are you happy with this selection?

I need Muller to score two points to overtake MH, 4 to overtake Jesus (Neymar will eventually be back, but I'll take the temporary second place...). Come on, you Mannschaft!

Let's ignore all the rest of the 25-man squad...

How can one not be happy with Kante on the team? He is the epitome, the platonic ideal of happiness!

And Higuain, Drenthe, Anderson, Goetze... I definitely have a type.

Long live pre-tournament friendlies where all players get a few minutes
to maintain their match rhythm!

Second place in Cycle 1 sixteen years after it started, you'll never
sing that!
