    Tevez has never been picked under this current boss. Clearly its personal . Even then its baffling why Di Santo would jump over a load of other strikers on offer .

    Holland squad looks poor. Even the Brazil squad doesn't look that great. I don't rate France too much, and Portugal never have the best team but with Ronaldo anything is possible and they always seem to do well, despite often struggling to qualify. Italy and Germany look strong. Personally I think Belgium are overrated, how many of their players are world class? Courtios, Kompany and Hazard. Spain have an amazing squad as usual and Argentina's attack is amazing but their defenders aren't anything special.

    The loss of Strootman really hurt the Dutch. They still have a really good attacking outlet, but other than that they aren't that special. Brazil has a better squad than we think (not a good a reason, but they won the Confeds). Portugal always seem to get out of their group. I think they top the group with 5 points tying Germany with 5, but have more goals. ATM Germany are not impressive with their attacking plan. Italy look dangerous. I really like Belgium, but they are a bit overrated. They have one of the best back lines at this tournament. Argentina are favored to score the most goals in the tourney, but have a brittle defense.

    Tevez is a bit of a moaner if not picked it seems. Same reason Nasri wasn't taken.

    Who else do Argentina have as a target man? Higuain is no. 1, but after that?

    Di Santo is the only target man type player they have in that squad.

    Not really sold on them either.. we beat them before Euro 2012 two years ago and they had virtually the same team and they weren't anything special.

    They have a good team with talent, but only 2 stand out players for me in Hazard and Kompany (who I think is overrated anyway) Courtois is also very good

    I would not be hugely surprised if they fell at the first or second hurdle.

    Belgium has an easy group. They are overtyped, but I can't the teams getting through, their back 4 with Courtois in goal.

    If we had Belgium's team then we would be favored to at least reach the semi's.

    Their defence is questionable and up front but their midfield could be very balanced if chosen correctly

    Vertonghen and vermaelen are bit good and kompany has been in poor form

    Still though most if not any country would take them.
