Are we watching a Rabbit World Cup? After the opening games for all teams they are leading the Strikers and Managers tables with 3 wins and 11 goals compared to 1 goal for the pigs and zero wins for Goat, Dragon, Pig and Tiger Managers.

June 17, 2026 the big Oxen day

A full day of the Oxen Matrix with participation in all 4 games and twice Ox vs. Horse. Portugal vs. DR Congo presenting Ox Roberto Mart�nez vs. Dragon S�bastien Desabre, and England vs. Croatia with Ox Thomas Tuchel against Horse Zlatko Dalic and his super Ox Luka Modric. Snake Joško Gvardiol and Goat Andrej Kramaric. And from all four only Thomas Tuchel could win his game while Roberto Martinez looked as poor as Spanish Ox La Fuente a few days ago against Cabo Verde.

After that Ghana vs. Panama saw a win for Snake Carlos Queiroz against Ox Thomas Christiansen and Uzbekistan vs. Colombia with a loss for Ox Fabio Cannavaro against Horse N�stor Lorenzo from Colombia.

June 16, 2026

Amazing to see Rabbit Managers and strikers at peak lavel alongside the recovering Goat year born players.

June 15, 2026

Amazing to see Rabbit Managers and strikers at peak lavel alongside the recovering Goat year born players.

Spain vs. Cabo Verde was featuring Ox Luis de la Fuente vs. Rooster Pedro Leitão Brito and how many goals will the Spanish site score had been the question? But reality shows, why Managers with the Astro Code of the Ox have not yet won a single World Cup.

Same question may apply with Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay, which was another 1:1 draw. And the first Goat year born Manager with Marcelo Bielsa with top Tiger Federico Valverde against the second underdog Rooster of the day with Georgios Donis.

And then there is Belgium vs. Egypt ended 1:1 with Dragon Rudi Garcia against Horse Hossam Hassan with Monkey Mohamad Salah. And also Iran vs. New Zealand saw a 1:1

June 14, 2026

After the expected false start for Brazil we saw Germany demolishing Curacao with Rabbit Julian Nagelsmann vs. Pig Dick Advocaat, who is the eldest World Cup manager of all times.

And at Ivory Coast vs we saw Rat Emerse Fa� winning against Monkey year born Sebastián Beccacecegr. No surprise, they had won against France a few weeks ago. Interesting was the unexpected draw at Netherlands v.s. Japan with Rabbit Ronald Koeman vs. Monkey Hajime Moriyasu. This may raise hopes for Monkey Didier Dechamps and a second title win. Sweden vs. Tunisia brought another big Rabbit win by Graham Potter against another Pig year born manager on the lower side of the fortune and talent scale with Sabri Lamouchi. June 13, 2026

Scotland vs. Haiti saw Rabbit Stephen Clarke with Dog Andy Robertson winning closely against Rat S�bastien Mign� with Dog Duckens Nazon.

Switzerland vs. Qatar saw another Tiger Manager with Murat Yakin failing against Spanish Horse Julen Lopetegui while Monkey Granit Xhaka was playing his 4rth World Cup. Congratulations.

And after that came the first explosive match with Brazil vs. Morocco with Pig Carlo Ancelotti on a very difficult mission.

And after that we saw Australia vs. Turkey saw the third Tiger drama with Vincenzo Montella losing against Ox Tony Popovic, what points at a bad spell for the Tiger Managers and giving hopes to England with Ox Tuchel..

USA vs. Paraguay was a clear call since Managers with the Astro-Code of the Rat like Mauricio Pochettino have won the most World Cups and Tiger Christian Pulisic is his top gun on the pitch when meeting Monkey Julio Enciso under manager Tiger Gustavo Alfaro.

In particular the traditionally difficult connection between Tigers and Monkeys has left Team Paraguay in tears. And amazing to learn, that 4 goals were scored by strikers with the Astro Code of the Snake.

June 12, 2026

As predicted the Mexican squad did win the opener and Dragon Hugo Broos could not present a competive team. Next one was Czechia vs. South Korea with Rooster manager Hong Myung-bo and top gun Monkey Son Heung-min and Bayern Munich Rat Kim Min-jae against Rabbit manager Miroslav Koubek and Pig Patrik Schick.

Rabbits are doing fine in these days, but South Korea had a compact and speedy team with loads of experience. In fact, it was a tight match with a better end for the Rooster manager.

Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina presents an Ox manager with Jesse Marsch vs. Pig Sergej Barbarez and both teams are at similar levels, with a slight advantage for the European site.

June 11, 2026

The first match is Mexico vs. South Africa. What means Dragon Hugo Broos vs. Dog Javier Aguirre, and that there is not the slightest doubt about a nice win for Mexico. Dogs are dominating Football in these months and the Mexican Squad will be a strong upsetter to defeat.

Bafana Bafana is led by Dragon Lyle Foster from Burnley, but how will he handle the Latino passion driven by Dog Intelligence as shown by Arteta, Enrique, Guardiola etc.? Not to mention Fulhams`s Goat year born offensive genius Raúl Jiménez.

June 9, 2026

We are closing in on the final countdown towards the first matches with an outlock on the Brazilian Squad, which is trying to break the curse of the Astro Code of the Pig, under which Carlos Ancelotti would be the first manager in history to win a World Cup.

Argentina, France and Spain seem seeded for the finals only a few days before kick-off while Brazil, Germany, England are rated closely behind, trailed by the Netherlands.

So far none of those teams has delivered any good news during test matches, though Germany looked slightly better, than the othe teams afterttwo slow victories against Finland and team USA under top coach Mauricio Pochettino, what shows, that Nagelsmann has found a harmonious foundation to get far.

On the contrary, a lot of hopes were shattered in England, where Thomas Tuchel had surprised with leaving out a bunch of national heroes.

Operating under the Astro Code of the Ox, he is not shy of anything, and perhaps he might crown himself like the other German top Ox Alexander Zverev at the French Open.

Time to look back at all the winners and the fact, that in almost every year of the Horse Germany has reached the final.

2026 Who will it be?
2022 Horse Lionel Scaloni Argentina
2018 Monkey Didier Deschamps France
2014 Rat Juergen Loew Germany
2010 Tiger Vicente del Bosque Spain
