2014 World Cup General Chat

In order of difficulty IMO: Group B, Group D, then Group G

 

[spark]

Del Bosque should just play Negredo and Diego Costa as a duo .

 

[Mika94]

Idk who's better: Uruguay or Chile, but man, it's gonna be hard for England !
Quite easy for Argentina and France.

Overall, very interesting groups, I feel that each team can qualify (well except maybe Iran, Honduras and Costa Rica). So looking forward for the WC, go go Messi !

Is anyboy actually surprised Switzerland and France have easy groups? Yeah its just a a coincidence that Blatter and Platini happen to belong to these countries respectively

 

[BarcaGirl]

Potential Argentina vs Portugal in the quarter-finals. Jesus!

Not really surprised.

 

[Mika94]

Oh yes, could anyone post the possible combinations ? Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, etc.

Group B G D are most difficult in that order. are death. If you come 2nd in group B you face Brazil. We could see Spain vs Brazil in 2nd round ffs. FIFA is really idiotic and clueless

 

[NeyMesSis]

Im swiss and I hate Blatter.. he's such an fucking asshole!!!!

 

[AnfieldEd]

Sturridge vs Suarez

IMO two good players are not enough for a team like Chile to have serious chances against the Netherlands. Though you never know with the dutch... Either they show up as furious tornado or as faint breeze. Though on paper, Spain and Netherlands should qualify easily.
Similar can be said for group G. Germany is the winner of the group, with Portugal being the very likely second. The US might possibly win over Ghana, but that's that. Don't want to crush you guys' euphoria, but unless Ronaldo, Nani etc. appear completely wasted for the match, there is no way in hell the US could hold them to a draw or even overcome them.
That's why I was so curious about the group of death remarks.
IMO the group with Italy, England and Uruguay is the only group of death in the traditional sense with at least one big team being likely to drop out, since here all three teams are equally lilkely to qualify, with Italy being the fav by a small margin though. Group C is interesting as well, since you have 4 (!) teams of similar quality. This is the actual group of death IMO.

You are underestimating Chile. They are a very good and energetic team. Beating the Dutch wouldn't be a surprise at all.

O RLY? I don't remember Blatter helping Switzerland beat Spain in the last WC.


Both, Switzerland and France didn't make it past the group stage last time. Where was the ''help''?

 

[Chainsaw]

once again Nigeria with Argentina. They'll get beaten real good this time

This is the 3rd time Nigeria falls with Argentina in world cup history.

4th time.

Good group for Argentina. But the first match is against Bosnia and a shaky start could make this match a tricky one for Argentina.

May that possibly be so, but don't be too disappointed when Chile "surprisingly" drops out.
