That all seems pretty straight forward, Giggles, but your surprise team needs a bit of revising.

It'll be when they all don't test positive.

I always knew England were your second team.

[Jimmy Floyd]

My old man says the best two teams he has seen are Mexico and Nigeria, so I'll take that as the final (and a large helping of whatever he's been smoking).

Close the thread.

[Disco]

I'll be surprised if our defence holds up against a side with some competent attacking players, does that count?

We have definitely got full on late 90s style giddy and I for one am loving it.

[Raoul Duke]

Why are people going for Allison as top keeper? He's a) bobbins b) plays for Brazil so won't have to make any saves

I honestly didn't put much thought into it. The idea that Brazil won't concede many chances is definitely bobbins though.

What's even the point if you're not going to become delusionally optimistic after you smash Panama?

It's not a big pool. Especially as De Gea had an awful first game.

[Pleb]

Already our media is overhyping our chances of winning the whole thing.

That being said cue us being knocked out next round by Columbia
