Countdown

[Novo]

Let me be the first one to say, The Winners will be France and Putin's Russia will also be strong

[Shaun]

aside from whoever I get in the sweepstake, I'll arbitrarily support Switzerland

[Brother Leon]

Ronaldo or Germany will win. Go Europe.

[King Gizzard]

England, Japan and whoever I get in the sweepstake

[Calderyon]

Brazil v.s Germany/Spain in the final. Can´t see past that at the moment.

Typical other contenders: Netherlands, Italy, Argentina and Portugal. Maybe France. Even England if all goes well.

Potential Surprisers: Ghana, Japan, Ivory Coast, South Korea, Uruguay, USA, Iran and Russia.

No chance in hell: Bosnia, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Honduras and Australia

IMO.

But, of course it´s very, very early to say, before the draw and rosters are announced.


---------

Will be supporting Netherlands, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Colombia, Uruguay, Croatia and Mexico at least. And of course my very own sweep.

[Drew.]

http://i.imgur.com/DzACMx2.png http://i.imgur.com/2OEqmId.png + My sweepstake team.

[Jemal]

Nigeria Portugal and abit of england (if the media dont piss me off too much before hand) + sweepstake.

[Jemal]

Belgium will shock people tho

[BBfanUSA]

DId I say Belgium as a Dark Horse in the other thread? If I didn't I need to be slapped. Like Now.

*Gets Slapped by a Corgie*

[Kyle]

I will keep a curious eye on Japan, they've continued to impress me since they hosted the World Cup with Korea.

[Kyle]

Belgium will shock people tho

I think by the time the World Cup comes around Belgium will be tipped by many pundits to do well and will lose their dark horse status.

[Brother Leon]

England
Nigeria
Holland


Nothing else matters although CR winning would be nice too.

[Chuck]

Uruguay will win it and Belgium will be disappointing.

[Black Dagger]

Argentina
Ivory Coast
Sweepstake

:dance:

[MTVN]

I hate all of these countries

[BBfanUSA]

USA
Japan
Sweepstakes

[King Gizzard]

403522106417115136

[King Gizzard]

It's not exactly being controversial to be saying Belgium have a good chance of winning it, but I personally think they won't live up to the pressure, and generally a European team doesn't have a hope in hell

[Drew.]

403522106417115136

Bosnia making their debuts.. everyone needs to back them.

[Brother Leon]

It's not exactly being controversial to be saying Belgium have a good chance of winning it, but I personally think they won't live up to the pressure, and generally a European team doesn't have a hope in hell

I don't see why Portugal and especially Spain can't do well in the conditions. Germany are robots too who can also do well.

[Novo]

Since 1954 - Czechoslovakia reached the final in Chile, Germany and Italy reached the final in Mexico, Holland reached the final in Argentina and they have all been beaten by South American teams, bad times.

[Brother Leon]

All I want is Portugal V Argentina in the knockout stages. Would be so epic.

[Drew.]

3 people killed..

[King Gizzard]

It's only a few months away how are they not nearly finished yet

[Novo]

it was 94% done apparently

[Drew.]

Yeah I think it was almost done, a crane has fallen on it they've said

[King Gizzard]

Doesn't look that done in that pic regardless of the collapse

[Drew.]

lgZHy4LSgc0

[BBfanUSA]

This shouldn't delay anything right?

Also I'm saddened by hearing this

[BBfanUSA]

Russia is the lowest ranked European team that qualified so more than likely they'll be put into Pot 3.

[Novo]

imagine if the GOAT world cup moment ever actually happened and Russia knocked USA out, and something iconic happens like Putin runs onto the pitch and celebrates with the team

**** that is to good to be true actually

[BBfanUSA]

The Draw is this week, Dec 6th to be exact but the allocation for the pots will be today.

[Shaun]

who're the top seeds gonna be then?

*guesses*

Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Uruguay, Colombia, Italy and...er... i don't know

Switzerland and Belgium are in the top 10 rankings but I really can't see why they'd be top seeds.

[BBfanUSA]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BakpZ95CMAA_4O6.jpg:large

The pots, aw man, A Group with Iran, US, Russia in it would've been hilarious.

[Drew.]

The draw sounds too confusing.. Only European teams can have two sides in a group so we could potentially get Spain, Chile and Japan

[BBfanUSA]

Everyone's probably hoping Please be put in Switzerland's Group.

A guy elsewhere said that the Round of 16 will be just the South American and Euro teams. I beg to differ, I can easily see the US, Japan get in and Mexico and South Korea too.

[Drew.]

An african side will hopefully make it out the groups

Ivory Coast > USA

[BBfanUSA]

And Ivory Coast and Nigera and Ghana. To think that not a single CONCACAF or AFC can make (Although I do admit they're going to need a bit of help with the draw) it is a bit silly.

Also there will be a pot x, To ensure there's only 2 Euro teams per group they will be drawing one from pot 4 I think and then a Pot X from the seeded South America teams and they'll be put in the same group I think. The rest will be put into pot 1 if they're not drawn, basically the 9th Euro team will be the 8th team in the 2nd pot (With Africa/Unseeded S.American)

Fairest thing to do in my opinion.

[Alf]

Messi will never surpass Pele or Maradona in terms of greatness until he wins the World cup.

This is the best chance he'll get, on his home continent.

[BBfanUSA]

Also this is my first draw that I'm really watching and trying to understand. *HEAD EXPLODES*

[Chuck]

Messi will never surpass Pele or Maradona in terms of greatness until he wins the World cup.



Totally agree with that.

[Chuck]

and the draw is ridiculous by the way, have no idea how it works but I should fear nobody.

[King Gizzard]

Alot of luck and the help of your teammates in world cups though, and it's one off games in the latter stages so it's very much a lottery, i think Messi > both of them in terms of overall games and play

[King Gizzard]

http://i.imgur.com/xc8k75c.jpg

[Brother Leon]

It's not even winning it, he needs to at least have a good one first :laugh:

[Shaun]

the ball :love:

[BBfanUSA]

IDC about the ball design but i heard Adidas worked with non endorsement players to make sure the ball was a players' ball. Kinda nice

[Novo]

In 36 hours time we will all know who England have in their group

[Shaun]

might as well make a prediction

Colombia
Ghana
Mexico
England

might just be thinking optimistically though
worst would probably be Brazil/Chile/Japan

[BBfanUSA]

Best Case scenario for the US, They're put in a group with The Swiss, Greece, Algeria.

Worst Case scenario Brazil/Argentina, Ghana, France

[Drew.]

might as well make a prediction

Colombia
Ghana
Mexico
England

might just be thinking optimistically though
worst would probably be Brazil/Chile/Japan

Don't think we can have more than 2 South American sides in the group

[Chuck]

the Brazuca ball costs almost 100 pounds here lmao

[BBfanUSA]

Why do tops and balls cost so much :(.

[Drew.]

Rio Ferdinand to be part of BBC punditry team

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25250691

[BBfanUSA]

ESPN will be having a special dedicated to the draw here. That wasn't possible 4 years ago.

[MTVN]

A 4 hour special on 5 Live's world football phone in tomorrow night 1-5, great stuff

[Black Dagger]

Are they going to take forever to do this draw? They just talk a load of bollocks and half of them can't even open the bloody balls, get it over and done with I say.

[Drew.]

Yup, should be a good hour or two

[Brother Leon]

Prepare for the worst tbh. Got a feeling England are about to be dicked in terms of their group lol

[Alf]

Players who should definitely go to World cup (if fit)

L Baines
R Barkley
G Cahill
A Cole
S Gerrard
J Hart
P Jagielka
P Jones
A Oxlade-Chamberlain
W Rooney
A Townsend
T Walcott
D Welbeck
J Wilshire


Of the others


I don't even know who are the next best keepers.

K Walker and G Johnson are the only right backs I can name who are in with a shot.

C Smalling is likely to get a place as back up centre back, there's not much else out there.

In centre midfield, F Lampard will be turning 36 during that tournament, it would be disappointing that we have to call on a 36 year old (although Lamps wouldn't let us down), Carrick, i'm not convinced he's good enough at that level, we need a good ball winning holding midfielder in there, but not sure there's one about, was hoping Rodwell could be that man, but he's not proved it yet.

J Milner is a good footballer (but no World beater), he does give a bit of versatility and has tournament experience, so could be useful as a squad member.

Upfront we're seriously lacking at the moment, especially when you compare to the great strikers we've had such as Lineker, Shearer and Owen, and now we can choose from D Sturridge, A Carroll, J Defoe, R Lambert, none of those make me feel confident.

[Drew.]

if fit then Sturridge and Rooney are the only 2 certain strikers.. no doubt Welbeck will be going and Carroll will most likely be fit by then so Roy will have to choose between him and Lambert.

[Alf]

If Sturridge was any good then Man City and Chelsea wouldn't have got rid, he's an average Joe, Andy Cole was a better striker then Sturridge is and Cole wasn't international class.

It's gonna be left up to Rooney to get us our goals in the big games.

[Drew.]

Problem with City and Chelsea is that they had all the $$$ and instead of waiting for him to grow they got rid and wanted to buy strikers already in their peak.. Hes probably our best finisher along with Rooney.

[King Gizzard]

Fabian Delph

[Brother Leon]

Welbeck is first name on the squad sheeet after Gerrard(Captain) & Rooney(only World Class Player). Been England's best player for about 2 years....now if only he scored for his club like he does for England :p :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

Chamberlain would have to prove himself once he's fit again to even have a look in for me, and that's a big if he's fit

[King Gizzard]

Sturridge Rooney >

[Alf]

I think Hodgson will go with Rooney Welbeck and so would I.

[Drew.]

it'll either be Walcott, Townsend and Lennon or Walcott, Townsend and Ox

[Alf]

Walcott could even do a stint up top.

[Brother Leon]

Sturridge Rooney >

Rooney will swing for him by his 4th poor angle shot.

[Alf]

My team if fit

Hart
Jones, Jagielka, Cahill, Cole
Townsend, Gerrard, Wilshire, Oxlade-Chamberlain
Rooney, Welbeck

[Drew.]

replace Welbs for Sturridge

[King Gizzard]

alternatively we could just **** everything and go

Clyne Caulker Smalling Shaw

Walcott Wilshere Jones Barkley

Sturridge Rooney

[Brother Leon]

Hart

Jones
Jagielka
Cahill
Cole

Carrick
Gerrard
Wilshere

Welbeck
Rooney
Sturridge/Townsend


No other option tbh. Pls confirm

[Shaun]

Don't think we can have more than 2 South American sides in the group

FINE

Colombia, Cameroon, Mexico + England

[Chuck]

England would not qualify in that case ^^

[MTVN]

We won't qualify in any case

[King Gizzard]

Roy wants a hard group no matter what he says, gives him an excuse to play his ''do not lose'' style of football and lifts the pressure of having to qualify from the group

[King Gizzard]

and I don't get why there is trepidation of playing a South American side, when most of the south american sides are comprised of players playing in Europe, thus not giving them any type of climate advantage

[Chuck]

England to play in Manaus, please.

[Chuck]

Roy looks like a saggy penguin, omg.

[King Gizzard]

http://i.imgur.com/2QgNFRe.jpg

[Novo]

Bring on Brazil, Fred has no chance against Cahill and Jagielka

[Shaun]

:laugh:

I don't even care about our group tbh, more interested in Uruguay's

[Black Dagger]

yeah I don't care about England, #andymurray

[Novo]

**** sake that Avatar :joker:

[Shaun]

lucas are you aware negreindeer could also have the spanish for "black" as in black dagger omfg omfg omfg

[Black Dagger]

**** sake that Avatar :joker:

It's good isn't it :laugh (thanks Nathan <3)

lucas are you aware negreindeer could also have the spanish for "black" as in black dagger omfg omfg omfg

omfg omfg omfg I am aware now, it's like fate tbh.

[Alf]

and I don't get why there is trepidation of playing a South American side, when most of the south american sides are comprised of players playing in Europe, thus not giving them any type of climate advantage
History tells you different.

1930 played in Uraguay won by Uraguay
1950 played in Brazil won by Uraguay
1962 played in Chilie won by Brazil
1970 played in Mexico won by Brazil
1978 played in Argentina won by Argentina
1986 played in Mexico won by Argentina
1994 played in USA won by Brazil

So every single time it's took place in the Americas, it's been won by a South American team.

The one and only time a European team has won outside of Europe was Spain in South Africa 2010.

Brazil are the only non European team to win in Europe, Sweden 58.

[Chuck]

in Jo we trust

[Shaun]

i'd love if a totally random team like ecuador won

[Black Dagger]

Brazil can **** right off until they realise Fern is a wonderful human being and deserves his place.

[Chuck]

Not actually sure I actually know any Ecuadorian (?) player

[Chuck]

who u talking about Lucas

[Novo]

i'd love if a totally random team like ecuador won

very true, we are yet to see a World Cup surprise victory to match Greece and Denmark's European cup wins

[Black Dagger]

who u talking about Lucas

Fernandinho.

[Novo]

Useless Del La Cruz and Hurtado

[Chuck]

It's his own fault really, almost nobody watches the Ukrainian league so he was unnoticed for years.

[King Gizzard]

montero, valencia, caicedo, noboa off the top of my head

[Chuck]

A World Cup surprise victory would be good but not this time please. :nono:

[Black Dagger]

It's his own fault really, almost nobody watches the Ukrainian league so he was unnoticed for years.

Well he's not unnoticed now, and he's miles better than Paulinho :mad:

Oh well, he can play PS4 with Jovetic, Nastasic, Kolarov, Micah, Lescott, Garcia next Summer instead.

[Chuck]

Paulinho's won every title a player can win playing in Brazil though.

[Novo]

Chuck if Gingerbear had Brazilian blood in him do you think he would make the Brazil World Cup Squad?

[Chuck]

A gingerbear could be useful in my bed tbh

[Chuck]

Gingerbear would be make the Brazil/Germany/Spain World Cup Squad easily, he would probably only not make England's squad because that one is too competitive.

[Novo]

Confirmed

[Chuck]

Nathan why havent you changed my username yet

[King Gizzard]

I do not have that power

[Chuck]

bloody useless

[Chuck]

link me where I can contact someone useful please

[King Gizzard]

i have asked Josy

[King Gizzard]

well, I'm going to

[Chuck]

merci

[BBfanUSA]

A player that I would love to see at the world cup would be Freddy Montero. He's an MLS player from Colombia and is on a season loan at Sporting CP in Portugal right now. 11 goals in 11 caps

[Alf]

On now Sky sports 1 and Sky sports news

[Drew.]

will probably be about 30-45 minutes until the draw i think

[King Gizzard]

[King Gizzard]

[Shaun]

[King Gizzard]

[Brother Leon]

I'm happy bring them on

that's what happens here in every World Cup

[Black Dagger]

Super Samir sending France through to the next stage.

[King Gizzard]

we basically just need to take hardened athletes

[Drew.]

"Italy 14 June 2am UK,Amazon

Uruguay 19 June 8pm UK,Sao Paolo(biggest city).

Costa Rica 24 June 5pm UK,Belo Horizonte."

[King Gizzard]

I think we're all forgetting Bryan Oviedo, Brian Ruiz and Joel Campbell here

[Novo]

Putin megging Kompany and then playing a 1-2 with Arshavin before curling the ball into the top corner

[Drew.]

6 hours in between the evening kick offs.. that cant be right

[Chuck]

"Italy 14 June 2am UK,Amazon

Uruguay 19 June 8pm UK,Sao Paolo(biggest city).

Costa Rica 24 June 5pm UK,Belo Horizonte."

lmao

[King Gizzard]

Brazil Croatia

what a game

[Chuck]

again

[Drew.]

kick offs are usually 2-3 hours apart.. but the evening kick offs will be 6 hours, thats a long boring wait

[Brother Leon]

Hold on. Nigeria may well squeeze through there. 9 points for Argentina though lol

[Novo]

wouldn't be surprised if Suarez ended up getting injured and missing the world cup and then everyone suddenly expecting us to beat them.. would be funny if it was an English player who injured him as well

[King Gizzard]

Japan have a chance!!!

[Chuck]

6 hours to get drunk

[Lee.]

Who's England got so far?

[Chuck]

South Korea do too :suspect:

[King Gizzard]

Hopefully find somewhere to watch the game outside on a big screen, at 2am that would be amazing

[MTVN]

Roy will have a Mike Bassett moment and get caught hammered in the hotel bar after we do **** first two games

[Drew.]

Honduras will be coming 2nd.. not a bad draw for them

[King Gizzard]

Actually love this group as opposed to it being a boring easy group at a normal kick off time

[Chuck]

I wish it would start in 15 days or something. :"(
