Which is the toughest of the three?

Worst Australian squad we've taken to WC, a squad in transition. Can't see us going anywhere.


I think they should change the format to something else...cricket perhaps...then those groups look favourable

Something tells me theyre not into something good...
As for England the pressure is completely off them now...I cant remember a world cup where expectations were lower...82 maybe but if I can think back to that we we just glad we got to spain after two world cups missed...woy has to take as many young players as reasonably possible and just see where it goes...im sure the accomodation is top notch out there but if i were in charge of that id downgrade to hotel bastard and give each player a single room sharing with a family of roaches...lets character build them for the snail eating in france 2016

Where the Ozzie footy team is concerned, just about any draw is an oh fuck one, as the Australia team is one of the weakest in the tournament.

That said, England are little better and would prob lose if the two played each other in Brazil

Too true.

So which team that actually has a shot at winning it is in trouble? Surely it's gotta be Brasil; they'll face Spain or Holland in the knockout round

Ivory coast and Belgium look like they could get out of the group stages.France have got to be happy with draw.Tough draw for England it should make for interesting viewing.

Neither Spain nor Holland will want to face Brasil I can assure you of that. I'm retarded enough to believe Spain may be the shocking behemoth that stutters in this tourney. Honestly their group is a group of death. No easy games there for anyone so once you get through that you wouldn't fancy Brasil next. The atmosphere there will be insane. And I don't mean the protests.

The us and england only hope to get out of their groups if they bin brasil as hosts last minute and move it to the States. We'll root for england like crazy because we are silly like that. Loads of ex pats. People coming over etc. Could be fantastic.

Is anyone going? If so, do you have any concerns?

Looking at that stadium accident has me worried. I wouldn't go unless a Finnish engineer gave me the all clear for stadium safety.

I think England will squeeze into the last 16 and no further.

Under performing Rooney and Gerard again will leave us frustrated.

I'll be keen to see how Belgium and Chile do and always secretly admire the Germans.

you should have had that tattooed somewhere

"The Three Lions will begin the finals against the Italians in Manaus. They then face Uruguay in São Paulo, and, finally, Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte."
4,300, 440 and 430 Km respectively.

then its Heathrow terminal 5 Arrivals Hall

Did I just bite?
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.
