What a fucking group this is :drool:
This group is quite shit too. Can't get into this World Cup yet.
This group is great too. Peru. :drool:
Australia are the worst team in the tournament.
Wonder if Guerrero will make it.
Bit harsh to be banned just for drinking James’ tea.
France and Denmark not getting out of the group would be fucking hilarious.
Australia are consistently one of the worst 5 teams at every World Cup. They need to rethink Asian qualification, especially since New Zealand are essentially guaranteed a 50-50 shot at every World Cup. How's New Zealand for diversity huh FIFA?
It makes me so happy that our shit team is there again.
Asia/Africa/North America have all completely stalled, but then I guess they would as their players just don't get decent coaching ever, unless they are naturally talented/lucky enough to get picked up by European clubs.
The A League has definitely stalled.
And hugely unlikely.Quote:

Concacaf teams have been doing well in the last few cups. I don't think they deserve to lose a spot.
Don't worry mate, Mexico will always still qualify
EDIT: And lose 2nd round, but we all love that about you
Not worried about Mexico. Still, Costa Rica and the like have been doing well. Rather have them than another shit European squad.
The whole competition should be Europe and South America and capped at 16 teams.
I'd rather have a different mediocre European team each time than the same mediocre Costa Rica team every time.Quote:

South America is also full of trash.
Also, Jamaica. :cool:
At least keep it to one thread so the rest of us can enjoy the competition.Quote:

Reasonably predictable.
Peru got their captain back, which is nice.
We are going to be nowhere. Although if Peru aren't at their best, we could scrape something out of the match.
Watching the France - Italy game. The French team really is obscene. Also Dembele is unbelievably fast, holy shit.
What a calm strike that was.
We're lucky as fuck the pitch was a bog in Monday night or they'd have put double figures up (and Griezman not starting).
Australia won 4-0 today against a greyed out Czech Republic team.
Our worst defeat ever. It just keeps getting worse, you have no idea how closely i followed Patrik Schick’s season and how awful it was.
It's enough to make you Schick
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi
Peru
Denmark
~~~~~~~~
France
Australia
Sorry Ital :(
Peru top? :harold:
Sure why not.
Peru is all very romantic, but they don't really have the players do they?
Scandis almost always punch in tournament football.
:D "I'm controversial, me".
No they don't. Scandis underwhelm more than even the BalkansQuote:

Waking up at 5am to watch Australia play. That's what the WC is all about.
In any case, this Denmark team have a solid chance of finishing in 4th place. They’ll mark Eriksen out and that’s that
Plus one for the Nordics wasting time. That 2-2 they cooked up to stuff the Italians in 2004 is the best thing they have done over the past twenty years.
The same was said before the last one and it ended up being some bloke named Krohn-Deli who ran the team.Quote:

Dolberg's coming off an awful season and hardly plays for the national team. Don't think so.
Must not have watched Denmark a lot if you think they're worse than Australia.
They're better than Australia. Fwiw I predict them to finish 3rd, but their total lack of striking options + Baldy Christian never performing at tournaments means they might easily ship a couple to Australia in a frustrating game
Almost everyone is better than Australia. It's not our strongest ever team, by any stretch.
I'm optimistic that a bunch of the players have real potential, and reckon we could even nick a win on our best day against one of the non-France sides. But realistically, any points is a good outcome.
They certainly don't have any strikers anyone has heard of, no.Quote:
