Think that could hurt them. Think he could be the difference between quarter and semi. Not that I think they'd beat Germany but without him their chance is much smaller to even get there. Bosnia could beat them now.

That horrendously unfair play award sounds exactly like something I'd win. I don't care about the rest since there's no way I'll win them.

I hope you realize how this is going to pan out. If you win, Taylor is going to keep half of the winning money for himself as some sort of investment.

It's not a joke really. He's better than Maxwell, but he's not better than Marcelo. So Scolari took the guy that always wins stuff and that has performed for the national team, rather than the guy that goes hiding. Maxwell is better going forward as well, which we require from our fullbacks. I do think overall that Luis is a better defender, but man do Maxwell have something about him when it comes to winning

Sounds like X Factor. Although it kind of is that type of thing that they show pre-audition.

Wouldn't it be nice to be in that f***ing group Underrating that group? All those four teams are stronger or equal to you. US best hope would've been the Belgium or Argentina group.

:lol:

Globo the largest Brazilian media outlet and tv channel have done a 5minute documentary on all the Brazilian players a the World Cup lifes. I don't think there's one that hasn't lost a sibling or parent. Absolutely devastating stories basically every single one of them. You forget what most people go through in life, but to see how some of them have beaten the odds is amazing. Would love to see these from every team, just to understand what many footballers have gone through to reach the top.

Cesc out for sure then? Or where will he fit into the team?

You're such an idiot

Cabaye is up to date, with all the updates and patches and shit.

Only way Paulinho comes out is through injury. Both Hernanes and Ramires disappointed against Panama. The only changes except for injuries being discussed in Brazil and that Scolari has hinted at being a possibility is Maicon and Willian coming on for Dani and Oscar. I do think he'll play the same, but Oscar has been extremely poor in training while Willian has apparently impressed and been the best. Brazil looked much more fluid with him, Neymar and Hulk also as it gives Neymar the freedom to drift inside as Willian is as mobile as him.

Oh absolutely, that's why I think he should play in a system that gives him space

So is Iniesta and Xavi. That's not his problem, his problem has been trying to accomodate him into a system that doesn't fit his ability. Play him behind a striker with movement and he'll be excellent.

Not sure if it was Taylor, but someone said he's just another Ramires, he's basically the exact opposite to Ramires.

Think its a good move if you actually get someone who is suited to your midfield. Problem with Fabregas is he doesn't really have a position. The way Celta Vigo played I can really see him fit into the same system playing behind the striker. Iniesta will probably have to move further down into Xavi's role though which is an absolute shame.

No.

Lies, he had only one.

What's the money on Dzeko? There's a huge chance he only plays 3 games in the World Cup, must be better bets there. Has a s*** group though, should possibly rack up 3-4 goals in the group stage. It it would give me 3-4 £5 free bets in the group stage, where most of the fun is to be had. Think Bosnia will advance as well. Iran rarely concedes goals and Nigeria are probably in the same bracket in terms of quality. I do think they'll advance but don't expect them to score that many.

TaydickJ_01. Have I told you that you're wrong?
