World Cup 2014 Brazil official Build Up....

Who you backing in the greatest show on earth, who are the sages keeping an eye on...?

I'm flittering between Holland and Germany, can see a South American team going far....but brazil look weak this time around.

Some really tough groups, possible Ghana shock ? Russia ?

June 12th


LETS GO.



Group A
Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon

Group B
Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia

Group C
Colombia, Greece, Ivory Coast, Japan

Group D
Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy

Group E
Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras

Group F
Argentina, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Iran, Nigeria

Group G
Germany, Portugal, Ghana, United States

Group H
Belgium, Algeria, Russia, South Korea

argentina for me.

Argentina to win, England to make it out of the group, Germany's poor defence will be their undoing, gtf hipsters

Pretty poor official thread imo.

Bit slapdash and no effort made, just a cut and paste of the groups and a couple of wishy washy questions.

Where are the graphics? Odds? List of group games with date and times?

It's like something Mr Ed used to throw together in an attempt to get in first with an official thread. :shakehead:

Greatest show on Earth? Not on here it isn't!

anybody willing to stick their neck out with any left-field predictions?

i'm saying spain & chile to qualify from group b...

Build up thread...
Pay attention you dull @#%&!.

Argentina are also based in the south of the country, don't think they will play anywhere above São Paulo, no energy-sapping matches in the Amazon plus they will qualify from the group with a game to spare.

South American final

Holland aren't expecting much themselves, but if Big Louis Big Balls takes the United job, obviously going to be rooting for them.

England will not get out of their group... South American winner... So I am going for Argentina... Messi seems to have been saving himself for the world cup, out of the European Countries I can see Portugal going the furthest....

Columbia are my dark horse.

Well up for this

Didn't enjoy SA , couldn't watch many games and the ones I did were largely sheet

Think spain - holland is first friday at 8pm . Perfect for beers and projector

That £#%&!ing ball ruined the entire World Cup.

Nobody* could put a shot on target from outside 10 yards.
















*except Diego

Have to agree with this tbh. Surprising from Bunks tbf.

However, Belgium are interesting and could be this World Cups Denmark86.

Brazil have a poor squad in many respects but national fervour and all that.

Messi could Maradona it for Argentina.

Therefore, I think Spain will win.

Done on my phone, to steer the good ship Fred away from the utter shitfest that's was 13/14 in the domestic scene.

Lack of graphics in a build up thread....been done before.

Thanks for throwing your ideas into the this chilled Sunday build up pot...

Mix them up.

It's the world CUP.

Spain's squad is even better than Germany's IMO. That midfield has everything, and they've got a proper centre-forward in Diego Costa. They'll wear teams down with their possession football in the Brazilian heat, too.

I just think some of the better coached teams will be able to hurt them on the counter, much in the same way that the tiki-taka sides have been exposed in the Champion's League.

It will be very interesting to see how LvG deals with them. That Holland v Spain game is probably the one I'm looking forward to most. That group looks very exciting.

Diego costa to score 6 or more goals. 36-1 on skybet. May slam £20 on that.
