Same can be said for Brazil though, they will expect to win, and I think they just might. EDIT: Russian captain Shirokov is out injured too.... I agree I'd certainly say Brazil aer the favourites definetely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VetteIfan Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm surprised by the popular opinion that it's basically a head to head between Brazil and Argentina to win. Brazil I can understand, but Argentina are vulnerable at the back and I don't know if it can be cancelled out by their strength up front all tournament. I put my bet on a Germany win earlier in the thread so I should probably stand by that, but Reus is a massive blow for them. Over the past 6 months he's been in "one of the top 5 players in the world" kind of form, and I thought he was going to set the World Cup on fire. Sad.

There is way too much pressure on them to perform. But Spain style and hot climate (compared to Germany at least) has me thinking they could retain their crown , despite me thinking they wouldn't do well earlier.

RevolvingPrawn Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thank you Mike, I'll be sure to add them to my repertoire. I've also heard that players shout "fore!" before they kick the ball, and that if they miss the square with the net 3 times, someone shouts "strike!" and they get sent off the grass. Those good too?

You'll be fine. EDIT: Actually you're wrong, "strike" is when someone takes a free kick and knocks out every player that forms the "wall".

RevolvingPrawn Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Oh and something else I don't get, why do they put the circle in the square? That shouldn't fit... Why not make the square with the net a circle with a net, or make the ball square too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
