World Cup in Football (Soccer) 2014

[new order]

US chance to advance just got a bit bigger. Ronaldo is injured.

Great news. Helps my marriage too -my wife went ga ga when he took his shirt off after his goal in the uefa champions league final.

I think it will take more than an injury to Ronaldo in that draw.

We have a strong team this time.
They say stronger than in '86, Mexico, where Argentina beat us in the semi-final...



Go Red Devils!!

Total copycat.

Yeah -she doesn't get to see that video either.

Did you see the game? It almost looked like Ronaldo had his shirt off before he even struck the ball -he just couldn't wait to get it off. Great final though.

Yes I saw it. It was a good game, but the second semifinal between Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen was the best footballsmatch I have seen for years! Ronaldo was fantastic in that game to.

He also was the biggest reason that Sweden didn´t qualify to the World Cup. But I must admit that Portugal and Ronaldo was better. Hard to not get impressed of a player with that sniper skill.

My main candidate would be Belgium -incredible generation, two great players per position!

You know, Courtois/Mignolet. Kompany/Vertonghen (Vermaelen, Bossaerts, Alderweireld etc), Hazard, Mirallas, Lukaku -pity about Benteke´s injury though-, Witsel, Defour. Quite amazing to be honest.

Spain will take the cup. IMO.

When Ricky Lambert is looking a better bet than Rooney, you know we got a hard road ahead And everyone knows it takes three West Ham players in the team to actually win the thing

If Messi shines, Argentina might do it, Portugal are too much of a one man outfit, Spain have the players, but do they still have the hunger after all their recent successes. On home turf, Brazil get my vote.

Most of all, enjoy this World Cup......lets face it, thanks to Fifa's corruption, the next two cups are going to be odd affairs!!!
