2014 World Cup

Fuck Fellaini's goal today was bullshit too.

 

What?

I think Fellaini is one of the most overrated players in the world and a beneficiary of playing the Tim Cahill role in Moyes setup and will be found out next season.

You've missed me completely. Belgium's team isn't a group of young players with potential, most of them are in their prime right now or very close to it. I don't think they're great because they've only just won a lot of their games so far and Courtouis has by far been their best player and carried the team but to say that the hype on them is on potential and not current ability is wrong imo.

 

Giggs never played a world cup.

what a hack.

 

yeah really agree with the sentiment of this post.

 

Also Uruguay Venezuela is a huge match in 2 days time.

If Uruguay lose they'll be extremely hard pressed to qualify. They'd be 6 back with 4 games to play including Argentina at home and Columbia on the road.

England should be able to overtake Montenegro quite easily after they overachieved early on, but Ukraine have hit some good form and whilst it's not as talented team boasting the likes of Shevchenko, Voronin and Tymoschuk in the past, the emergence of the Ukrainian Premier League has led to better players being produced all round and far greater depth. The match in Kiev between England and Ukraine will be huge and will decide the group winner.

Despite a 1-0 loss to Portugal, Russia should wrap up their group as they have two games in hand on Portugal and their remaining fixtures include Northern Ireland at home and Luxembourg twice.

Bosnia look set to make their first world cup on the back of their fearsome attack with Pjanic, Lulic, Misimovic, Ibisevic and Dzeko all chipping in. The perennial cheesers Greece will instead have to go through the playoff round.

Group A looks like it's Belgium's for the taking with games against Scotland, Croatia and Macedonia remaining. Croatia also lead Serbia by 9 points with 3 games to go for second place, but should they somehow lose all 3 and Serbia win all 3, the later will be going through. Something that seemed impossible before yesterday, but if the Scots can pull another surprise on the final match day, you never know.

Italy, Germany, Holland and Spain the usuals all look set to go through, along with Switzerland whilst France are going to have to make do with a playoff spot.
