I think Netherlands or Germany this year. Solid Teams with consistent performance !!!

Yeah Belgium have a really solid team with youngsters, especially with the likes of De Bruyne, Kompany, Hazard and Lukaku.

but tbh, None of them can ever be as good as me, because Zlatan cannot be second best to anyone !!!

Benzema also has Algerian origins :)

This world cup has seen a lot of upsets ... like it's just crazy how costa rica can beat uruguay and italy or how chile have beat Spain !!!
I wouldn't be surprised if Honduras or Nigeria go on and win the world cup !!!

Title: Re: who will win the world cup 2014?
Post by: Stick on June 24, 2014, 02:50:33 am: Disappointing performance by Australia so far, in my opinion. Cahill, Bresciano and Milligan's absence from the team is really showing - they look like a different side (perhaps the side that everyone was expecting them to play like before the World Cup). I went into this match with high expectations but I don't think they'll be met. :/

Title: Re: who will win the world cup 2014?

Title: Re: who will win the world cup 2014?
Post by: alondouek on July 08, 2014, 02:14:40 pm: Devastated that France is out, hoping Germany can go all the way though.
Title: Re: who will win the world cup 2014?
Post by: MJRomeo81 on July 08, 2014, 04:04:09 pm: Whoever wins out of Germany vs Brazil will go on to win it all IMO.

Missing Thiago Silva will hurt Brazil more than missing Neymar. But in a way I like the shape of Brazil without Neymar. Oscar will play the number 10 role (no idea why he has been deployed out wide by Scolari) and Willian/Bernard can replace Neymar out wide. Dante will replace Silva.

Germany didn't have the best game against France. Need to be more clinical in front of goal. I hope Germany win for the sake of Europe but it will be a close contest.

In Italian football, it is tradition to always take note of who is the referee. The ref of Brazil vs Germany will be the one who wrongly sent off Marchisio (straight red) and ignored the Suarez bite in the Uruguay game. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see some BS to protect Brazil. Hopefully Nicola Rizzoli or Howard Webb officiate the final.
Title: Re: who will win the world cup 2014?
Post by: slothpomba on July 09, 2014, 04:23:31 am: I think we will likely see a German and Argentine final. Personally, i'd love to see a Brazil-Argentina final just for entertainment value (and i guess giving South America the stage for a tournament in South America).

A lot of people are still giving Robben shit for diving (including commentators) but lets be honest, he's not the only person to do simulation in these games (although i do have a soft spot for the dutch).

I think all the games here are going to be rather low scoring. I'm out of betting for the world cup after my run but for people i know who still are, they're really going for under 3 goals.

Great match, Boateng was immense in shutting down Messi, Schweini worked himself into the ground, Ozil passed typically incisively and Neuer was ABSOLUTELY MENTAL as usual haahahahahahaha

yeah I'm happy that Germany won in the end. Their team was more fluid, rhythmic and well-practiced, albeit Argentina had a killer defence going on. Commendations to the Argentinian goalie also, some of his blocks were really good.
