Yes you can.

Under "World," click "NT Matches"

Sense of humour check, one, two, one, two

He meant you can't find it in the World Cup list

your predictions were good, you only got wrong the 2 games that had surprising results. Australia completely destroyed the USA by over 30 points, and Argentina beat Germany in a high pace game thanks to a very efficient full court press defense. Spain won easily but I also think Nigeria Crunch Timed Australia on round 1.

Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I guess the NT coaches decided who will be their rivals for his options to each position on the table...

Will germany Crunch time Vs Spain?
or will do it USA?

yeah, definitely pretty crazy game.. both teams on run and gun, plus argentina's pressure, combined to create a very high pace.. unbelievable amount of points.. and the game took much longer than the others to end..

it is worth mentioning also canada's good performance against italy. They stayed close throughout most of the game.. I was watching that game more than my own game..

Crunch time is a terrible tactical choice in the group stage imo. Team should only use it when it's their last chance to qualify. Going into knock-out stages with low enthusiasm is nearly suicide.

depends i think, first if you get easier teams later (third/fourth game) a ct in the first or second match isnt that bad option, if you tie the rest till next stage there is still a good chance to get a high enough enthusiasm. 2 wins might be enough to go to next round.
