"i really hope argentina and portugal get through, don't want a world cup without ronaldo and messi"
seems to be a very popular point of view at the moment. personally i'd be quite happy for them both to go out. i get plenty of chances to see messi and ronaldo where they play best (ie in their club sides) and this argument seems the same to me as the argument that it's better to have the 'big four', say, as the semi-finalists of the fa cup that to have some upsets. doesn't make any sense to me at all.
i like upsets and shocks in competitions. i think the world cup would be a lot more interesting with uruguay, ecuador and, say, bosnia than with argentina and portugal. opinions? poll to follow... |

Seen as though i watch the World Cup/Euro's for my summer football fix, i hope Messi and Ronnie are there.
Could not give a £#%&! who wins it, just want quality football otherwise another dull summer. |

Re: "i really hope argentina and portugal get through, don't want a world cup without ronaldo and me
for me the world cup should be a showcase of the best players in the world, it should be entertaining football not effective football on display. its like when teams like milwall, southampton, cardiff get to the fa cup final, ruins the day.

Re: "i really hope argentina and portugal get through, don't want a world cup without ronaldo and me
If you don't qualify, you don't deserve to be there - "best two players in the world" or not, it's not a one man game.
Saying that, I genuinely think if there were half way competent coaches in charge of either side they'd both be there already, so it does seem that one man can make a hell of a difference... The World Cup is now a grotesquely overblown marketing & media £#%&!athon, but I'll still be taking 2 weeks off next Summer to plonk my arse in front of the telly & watch as much as possible and it would be nice to see the best players in the world make a case for their monikers on that stage. |

If they were that good they would have managed to fire their teams there.
On another point the percentages on the results add up to 110%, is this a deliberate footballing cliche? |

One player does not make a team, i watched Portugal against Denmark the other week how they only got a point out of that game i do not know. I hope they both make it, neither will win it though unless Argentina sort out of there issues and get a coach in who can handle the job. |

If they don't get there, at least we won't have to listen to cliché after cliché about Ronaldo, United, winking, Rooney, diving, blah blah yawn £#%&!ing blah.
The good thing about obscure teams qualifying is that the pundits are caught in the headlights as the Big Book of Tired Clichés doesn't have a chapter on Bosnia. |

'effective football', 'much of a muchness' ffs. some of the comments on this thread :shakehead: bosnia are possibly the most entertaining side in europe. very attacking, fantastic to watch. ecuador, paraguay, chile and uruguay have been far more expressive and entertaining than either brazil or argentina this time. don't people watch football any more? is it only big star names that count these days? |

No in theory, i hope they both make it, otherwise it'll be a dull summer without the two best players in the world both of which make the game a better product and can offer moments of brilliance. If not i'll still watch alot of games, hopefully next summer somebody can take the competition by suprise, always thought Russia could suprise a few if they make it. |
