Dr Colossus Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Haven't been on here since the tournament started so it'll be a little out of date (and regarded irrelevant by some team's performances), but I wrote this preview of the World Cup and thought some of you might like to have a read of it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2H8M27yPB6XTnJqTXJXRHRQMDA/edit?usp=sharing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 There are vastly diminishing returns with the quality in Europe and South America. You seem to think we are getting ten more teams with Ibrahimovic on leading the line, but really you are just adding the likes of Iceland, Denmark, Slovenia, Venezuela, and Bolivia, who may be decent teams but would all struggle to get out of any group and are not markedly better than teams from other confederations. Whoa there! Lumping the Danes in with that group is a bit unfair--more than a bit unfair. They were very poor in the last qualifying campaign, but you're way off base to include the onetime European Champions and World Cup regulars in that group. Still smarting from 98 are we?

I just looked at the team that finished 2nd or 3rd in their qualifying groups for UEFA I don't have any quarrel with Denmark. Bringing up the disaster in 1998 is cold, too, especially since we haven't managed a win on this stage since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
