2014 World Cup thread

Has anybody else lumped on a Germany USA draw?

I have been speaking to a few Americans on another site and they reckon Germany will just not be kind enough to play it out like they did in back in 82.
 
Heh, media around here report Uruguay is considering boycotting further World Cup games.

They know their just **** without Suarez, infact they would of been most likely bottom of their group if he hadn't of played.

****** stupid they would deny the other players a chance of a World Cup all for the actions of a moron. If they withdraw from this then I can see Fifa telling them not to bother with even attempting to be in any more World Cup competitions.

I had a feeling that Germany would have enough pride not to settle with a draw against USA but apparently they proved me wrong. Pretty sure the game is gonna end with a draw.
 
It's getting boring hearing Mark Lawrenson make fun of Kyle Beckerman's appearance.
 
Looks like the goal difference is goin to be pivotal in this group.
 
I hate the fact that for subs that the TV companies dont use accents, so instead of Özil, its Oezil. That frustrates me so much.

And Mueller. And Goetze. It just changes the player's name completely. I agree, they should really just teach their employees how to use character map for accented letters.
 
My American friends are going mental they got out of the group and eliminating Portugal and Ghana.
 
Guys group phase is almost completed and I just want to know a few things and hear your opinions:

- What's your favorites to win the WC? Not your favorite teams, but those you see winning the competition. Mine is Germany. Their squad is just unbelievable and they know how to play with the ball and play on the counter. Also, van Gall is showing why people consider him a great strategist. But, if I have to bet, I'd put it on Germany.
- Which team did disappointed you the most? Mine are Portugal (I'm Portuguese), Spain and Italy (specially after the first game)
- There are many teams who would won the prize for the "most unexpected team to pass the group" but for me Greece is on top of everything. They have absolutely nothing and pass their group. One could argue that their group was always to be an open group but for me it is the most unexpected team to pass.

for or me most unexpected is Costa Rica was a tough group and they topped it, team to win still think Argentina yet to hit top gear won all games without playing well and if aguero is out may help them be more balanced impressed with Colombia too showing that they ain't no one man team. Most disappointing for me is Spain.
 
Yeah, Colombia is surprising too. Their counter-attack is something to watch carefully on "how to counter properly".
