Apart from the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia, all the other games have shown us a great rivalry among the competing teams. Until now there is no big teams and small ones, no easy games either. No one would have thought that Germany would lose their first match against Mexico, or Brazil couldn't win for the first time since 1970 their opening game in the world cup.
Is it due to the prudence of these teams in the first round of the competiton or this is the time for them to change their classic tactics ? Anyway, the rest of the competition will answer my question, but first, let me know in the comments what do you think about the reason of this competitiveness shown by all teams.
