Ecuador is one of those altitude-aided teams, correct? If so, I don't see much coming from them. Actually, I've just checked. They were undefeated at Quito (the highest capital city in the world) and didn't win any matches elsewhere during qualifying. I think decent sides will expose them at sea level.

Is Guadeloupe an official member of FIFA? The French players with that heritage could combine forces to create a quite formidable side of French rejects, with Distin included.

This will finish 0-0.

I don't know. They have a squad full of overpaid, overrated, and underperforming players with vast experience in England and foreign imports who haven't been given time to adapt, will have had a bad experience (the manager they came for was sacked within a month), and will probably want to leave the league. I can see a lot of personnel change and dysfunction.

I didn't think he was spectacular today. Just steady as he has been in every appearance this season. Amazingly, the other United did not put much direct pressure on our centrebacks at all during the match. Unsure if this says more about Newcastle or Manchester.

The past is the past. I've not been particularly fond of this manager at points during his tenure, but in the present day, he is doing a good job and has been for some time. It isn't just results, either.

The only problem is that he can't play on the right. Never mind protection. Sissoko and Debuchy have been a force and a real partnership going forward.

Four points above Man U in December. This must be fiction.

I am not saying a word until this is over.

I wouldn't want to lose Debuchy for any extended period. He's been the best player on the pitch of all 22 in the match.

Now he wants to attack?!

Shola will help defending the box, if nothing else.

No one even jumped!

We consistently are beaten in the air on set pieces. It is a bit of a problem. Williamson is big, but doesn't really help it.

Dangerous play by Nani. Should have seen a card at least.

Cabaye and Sissoko rubbish all match, and then they combine for that. Sign of class attacking players. Terrible from Evra, btw.

Don't think he's been especially bad, tbh. Our midfield isn't holding up at all right now. The team is being dominated in that area. Should have been a penalty on Anita, imo.

Rubbish from Colo, but RVP was offside, imo.

Minnow, ffs. No one feels pity for your struggles. Win the matches or don't. Why the anger? Sorry, the word annoyed me. Talk to the 180 or so teams that will be at home. South Korea as minnows. A team that has qualified eight consecutive times and made a semi-final. You should be favoured to exit from your group and should have a decent chance of the quarterfinals. You should not act surprised if you accomplish it and should feel disappointment if the result is anything less.

Minnow, ffs. No one feels pity for your struggles. Win the matches or don't.

No chance of starting. Barring injury, the front three will be Moses- Emenike- Ideye/Musa It seems he might actually go. Keshi seems to want a target man as an option and he likes Shola's leadership. The guy has also played well when given the chance, tbh.

Good draw. I'm tired of Argentina, though. We've qualified five times and have had them in our group four times! It's enough The first match against Iran has to be a victory. Nothing less will be satisfactory. I like our chance of qualifying this time. We've deservedly earned a poor reputation after abject performances in 2002 and 2010, but this was more a sign of the decay in our football. Squads picked seemingly at random, infighting, incompetence from our officials. We even managed to sack the same coach before both tournaments. Keshi isn't perfect, but he has us playing like a team and there is a real spirit within the side. This should be an improvement at the least. Group G is absurdly difficult. The best team from Concacaf, the most highly regarded team from CAF, the second ranked team in the world, and the second best player on the planet. I cannot remember a tougher one in the 32 team format.

Sorry. Better you go through than Ghana, anyway, if Portugal decide not to show up. You have my well wishes.

There is no reason to think Liverpool and Spurs can't finish above a Manchester United side that has won 40 percent of its matches thus far.

Pogba was a massive loss for them. Outside of Carrick, their centre of midfield is exceptionally average and inadequate.
