FIFA World Cup Brasil 2014 - General Discussion [R]

Did you see the rehearsal groups? They did it today and this how it came out.


GROUP A - Brazil, Italy, France, Australia.

GROUP B - Uruguay, Nigeria, USA, Croatia.

GROUP C - Argentina, Ghana, Costa Rica, Russia.

GROUP D - Switzerland, Chile, Japan, Greece.

GROUP E - Spain, Ivory Coast, South Korea, England.

GROUP F - Colombia, Cameroon, Honduras, Holland.

GROUP G - Germany, Ecuador, Iran, Portugal.

GROUP H - Belgium, Algeria, Mexico, Bosnia.

 

That would give a Brazil-Argentina Quartefinal if both were to come first in their group. Basically, whomever comes first in Group C, will most likely play Brazil, as they are expected to come first in Group A.

It is the 2nd round games and likely QF matchups that are really interesting.

 

I would be very surprised if we end up in group C, I think they will put us on the end of groups(depending if we both win) and the earliest we may meet might be the semis.

I hate these gala's though, hour plus we are going to see a bunch of samba dancers, talk endlessly about each city and stadium, blah blah blah, Pele trying to sell some Subway sandwiches, just get on with it.

 

The anxiety is killing me. This is the draw I want for Argentina:

Argentina, Cameroon, Iran, England.

It would be great to beat England and then Brazil in the quarterfinals

 

world cup may start on june 2014 , but for us it starts when the draw is finalized

 

That cup is so ********ing beautiful...

 

I hope Messi will proof me wrong

 

The key to a successful World Cup campaign is to start off against tougher opponents rather than easier ones, World Cup winners Mario Kempes of Argentina and Zinedine Zidane of France both agreed on Thursday.

So originally, France was going to be in the pot with the Africans, yet they have changed it so it could be any of the 9 european teams not seeded...

Platini pulling the strings to save his country, while Blatter has some how managed to get Switzerland to be a seeded team.

Meanwhile what does Grondona do for Argentina? NOTHING! Probably get another group of death like 2002 and 2006

 

The "cabala" is to have a lefty as captain

 

Group F

 

Why do we always get Nigeria?

 

Strange, but it's actually a relatively easy matchup for us.

 

Nigeria will be our 3rd group game. Either it'll be academic, or we'll be playing for our life.

 

Iran.

 

Our opening game will be against an European team.

 

Not a bad draw. As good as we could have expected.

Bosnia
Iran
Nigeria

 

lol pretty easy

 

Our 3 games in Rio, Belo Horizonte, and Porto Alegre. Not bad.

 

Let's not get complacent. We'll still have to play well. Every team will be coming after us.
