  1. /Flip I'd switch Messi and Ronaldo, and would pretty much put Suarez up there before Neymar based purely on ability at the moment, but I guess the fact that he's been suspended and all for a while probably doesn't make him look very good.
  2. Messi is still a better player
  3. Algeria through. Real disappointment that.
  4. Actually African teams have decent chance if they get their harder games in Manaus or Fortaleza. It's 32-34 degrees average, with a humidity beyond reasonable. It's unbearable to play football in since the shirts, shorts, socks all get soaked after 5 minutes. Compare that to say Berlin where weather in June is 22 degrees in june or say Porto Alegre where some games will be played and the temperature is aorund 19-20 degrees in average. Such a big country that I think temperature and weather will play a big role.
  5. They're a very decent team. Think they should depending on group be making at least quarterfinals. I'd expect quarterfinals to be four SA teams and for European teams depending on the group draw.

    The ones to watch

    Sounds like Adu/Altidore. To an extent. When I think of Altidore he seems like a beast who is trying really hard to be a footballer. Campion is very much a footballer. Good touch, wants the ball at his feet, good movement. That's partly why I've picked him out. Been looking at a lot of college soccer recently and most of them are decent athletes but lack the fundamental skills. This guy has them. 5 minutes of youtube clip tells me this guy won't ever make it in a decent league.
  7. I think Sweden will qualify. I hope so.
  8. "They" says the Swede. ? I'm still Brazilian at blood and passport.
  9. Wonder what he'll say when they lose.
  10. I think it's adidas, but someone on here saying it's FIFA while other teams still have two coloured kits. So yeah, no one knows, but yours is horrendous.
  11. At least they got that so important away goal.
  12. Impossible to try and counter attack or put pressure in that altitude as well. Unbelievably shit tactics from the off. Never stood a chance anyways.
  13. So glad the Oceania group doens't get a direct spot. Horrible to watch this New Zealand team.
  14. Seen 5 minutes, and I've seen enough to say Mexico will go through in an easy manner. New Zealand parking the bus completely, won't hold, and whenever Mexico get a goal they can rely on a counter-attack and New Zealand won't hold on.

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    I do agree...Just rather he play than Shola or Cisse atm. Shola has been kinda useful there so far. I mean it's really a toss-up but i'd rather start Shola and bring the other two later on. Shola been useful? There's no way a guy who can't control a ball and slows up play every single time has been useful there.
  16. Only way Jordan wins this is if they keep hitting the ball with those tackles Fucking hell been some close to reckless challenges already if they hadn't hit the ball first every time.
