leffe186 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Australia is only paying $4.61 to go pointless. Not even worth the consolation coin when the inevitable happens... :'( Not looking forward to this at all . The one consolation is that they're up against two Spurs guys when they get lamped. Honestly, I'd take a point as a great result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosstef Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Key match this Saturday between Peru and Denmark. Peru is undefeated in their last 16 matches and Denmark in their last 15. Could be very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be tough for the Aussies, but you never know. I can see Peru winning this group tbh. They're a solid side. Have gotten some pretty decent results lately. I mean, France is clearly favourites, but they're a bit inconsistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedyan Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 France have a great squad. Them along with Germany and Spain have some downright ridiculous depth. So jealous. But for whatever reason, people really like Australia here. I asked around and it's mostly those who are not really into football, nobody can name a player aside from Cahill and that skinhead from Hudd. But them and Iceland will have quite a few locals' support. Go figure. Denmark are tidy, absolutely love Eriksen. Sisto is insanely popular because his last name can be translated as Titso in Russian But no Bendtner. Not fair. Peruvians are everywhere. Hordes of them. I discovered their cuisine a while ago when in Miami, loved it ever since. So many lovely girls as well. It was reported, that there were like 10k of them in and around the city center yesterday When I calmly told anyone who would listen that you shouldn't read crime reports from Lima or Bogota and dread all "those people" from Peru and Colombia coming over, because it costs a fortune to get from SA here and the people who would go are all mint and party animals - I was ridiculed. Granted, those who did not believe me are the same people who still whine about pretty much everything and don't even follow football otherwise. But who was right? A flipping party. Even our polite but very strict OB don't do anything when some Argies or Mexicans drink gigatons of beer in the parks and squares, and it is illegal to have an open container of alcohol in public. I know, I got fined like three times in three different cities Plus, the Guerreiro factor. That was so touching, like And every Lokomotiv fan I know is absolutely supporting Farfan and hoping that those other Peruvian lads they are linked with are quality and end up signing for them. Just like the Mexicans and Chileans at the Confederations Cup - these guys will charm the hell out of people and many will be on their side. On a sidenote, people loved the Chilean fans here even though they had two moronic rival club incidents between them, one involving a stabbing near Red Square. There was even an official apology from their Amabassador. And we still hoped they would win. Solano man. What a solid player he was. For a variety of reasons, Asprilla will always be my favorite NUFC player. But Solano was great. I remember wondering why they don't have a decent national team if guys like that play. Time flies.

Flip Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 France have a great squad. Them along with Germany and Spain have some downright ridiculous depth. So jealous. But for whatever reason, people really like Australia here. I asked around and it's mostly those who are not really into football, nobody can name a player aside from Cahill and that skinhead from Hudd. But them and Iceland will have quite a few locals' support. Go figure. I'm not saying this France side aren't one of the favourites and have a good squad. But the talk about their depth makes me think they might have the most overrated World Cup squad of all time. As a spectator of every PSG game Mbappé is still very raw and the difference in ability between him and Cavani & Neymar is still quite large. I'm pretty sure he'll be the best one day, but he's not anywhere near them at this moment in his career, makes some awful decisions consistently and same goes for Dembele. Their midfield has big names, but none except Kante actually belong as top 10 in their positions. Their central defense pairing is strong but doesn't come near Brazils, Spains or Germany's and their fullbacks are inexperienced or have had injury riddled seasons in Mendy, Sidibe, Hernandez and Pavard. Their goalkeeper is a wildcard as well, Lloris can have a great games but is equally susceptible to make mistakes. They have two players at the top level, in Kante and Griezemann. They're probably going to win it all now I've said this, but I get a feeling that all this hype is built from FIFA and facebook videos rather than there actual performance in their clubs this season. Although, I think Deschamps did the right thing in benching Giroud for Dembele as they looked much more dangerous with Dembele in the side than with Giroud. Too predictable when the big guy plays up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
