2014 World Cup General Chat

[Flavia]

The state of the pitch Brazil v Serbia is a disgrace.. If that's what there are going to be like there is going to be injury's and poor games.

Morumbi is not one of the wc stadiums.

[Messi_Goal]

I think this is how Messi wins the World cup with Argentina 4-2-3-1

------------------Romero------------------
--Zabaleta--Garay-------Fernández--Rojo--
------Mascherano--------Gago-------------
-Lavezzi-----------Messi-----------Di María-
--------------Agüero/Higuaín---------------

If Agüero is fit he plays, If hes not then Higuaín plays.

He's in it because I need a brazilian defender in there as they won't concede many goals and I can't have Lolz in my team

It's a shame that those talented players won't be seen on the world stage.

That gives room for new stars to arise... more focus on the likes of Neymar, Hazard, Götze, Pogba...
