Deuce Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'd like to play some interesting teams, maybe Colombia, Mexico and people like that. Exotic like. Same. Of course, being a WC, the U.S. is destined to draw Ghana in the group or knockout stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Iran won't concede many goals. They topped the group with Korea, and are going to be Greece-like defensively with Queiroz as their manager. Anyone remembers Portugal in the last World Cup? Tight as a virgin Asian vagina (no racist pun intended) I think Australia is the weakest team at the WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 There's always one duffer group in terms of quality but usually ends up being the best group as the teams are even e.g. Switzerland, Honduras, Korea, Iceland on paper would be lousy but it'd hard fought you'd imagine.

Kaizero Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I dont know whether I'd rather have a mix of great and poor groups, or a uniform quality across all 8. I suspect we'll get the former but either way, I'm so excited about this World Cup. The last 'proper' one in a long time. World Cup is always proper no matter where it's played. It's the fuckign World Cup, biggest sporting event in the world. Once every four years, I don't care if it's played in Siberia, Alaska, Fiji or w/e. It's great and the best thing about the sport. Yep. Nah. 2010 was almost ruined by the fucking vuvuzelas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfull stadiums with locals standing outside after being priced out. Was almost farcical the entire event. Think Russia might be okay. But their stupid laws make me angry they got it.

Yorkie Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'd be well chuffed with this for the England. http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/999/17uz.png I know that graphic is only one of a million permutations, but fuck. That has got me so excited. Surely it's going to be special, isn't it? Really, really hope it's better than 2010, I seem to remember it being totally unremarkable. England were abysmal. Lots of defensive tactics. The vuvuzelas. The pots look absolutely crazy, there should be some fantastic groups. Portugal, Netherlands and Italy all in pot 4? Mental, that.

That isn't true i just can't stand the likes of Terry and Cole as people..... its one of the reasons i watch the U21s more than i do the full team. I still care and hope we do well every time but i'm not going to pretend i like and support certain players because they were born in the same country as me.

No. It was just not as fun to watch while the play was in cold weather. Especially when it's the bright and sunny where I was.
