Vrsaljko will play there, probably Čorluka. Srna will play right, there is no doubt about it.

 

Are you watching this or? :D

 

Alright, thought Srna was more versatile than Vrsjalko. You must have a better left-back than Pranjic though?

 

Was going to go to the game had Brazil not played earlier since I'm in Salvador. Saw bits of the first half, but like most friendlies there's just a lack of intensity and excitement. :thup:

Yes, Strinić from Dnipro, but he is injured. Croatia have problem with left back from early 2000s, since Jarni retirement.

Yeah, but I meant there must be someone who is not injured that is better than Pranjic.

Apparently we are the heaviest team. With no Yakubu or Shittu this time, I'm generally surprised and fully blame the Geordie Hercules.

 

Also, stunned that Ghana have managed not to be the shortest team.

 

edit: Population growth as well! Semifinalists for Traffic death and murder rate.

While we're on the subject of Chile, some of you might enjoy this tactical breakdown of Jorge Sampaoli.

Haven't clicked the the link but if the article doesn't contain the phrase 'tactically dangerous lunatic' I'm not interested.

 

The word you're looking for is "Bielsaista" and yes, it's there.

Reus confirmed to miss the World Cup.

Doubt Germany have a chance of winning it now

 

?

 

Reus is a very important player but just like if Messi, Neymar or Iniesta would break these teams have depth. Reus is injured and they can play Podolski/Klose/Schurrle/Draxler, which says a lot. At least in my opinion while they've definitely lost a key player I still think they are one of the top 4 favourites.

I don't think any of those players are nearly as good as Reus although I haven't seen Draxler much. I just can't see them winning it

It's a bit shit that these players are picking up injuries, especially for someone like me who doesn't get to watch as much world football as I'd like.
