Anybody remember when we had Gerard Pique?  Yeah…we let that one get away didn't we....

[louisbosco]

yeah he wasn't blossoming back then. the same with pogba. the same with most south american players that come to united. in that sense, i wonder how fred will be…

They were both still young (Pogba and Pique) when they left so yeah, they hadn't matured yet but no doubt they would have with time under Sir Alex. It is weird how south American players never seem to click well at United…made me think the same thing about Fred that you are.

i mean there's probably only one. Antonio valencia. but he was still a failed winger that become a right back. key word:failed..

What have Spain done  ???

[Seul]

I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I hope they win against Portugal though…

Looks like the Spanish Football Federation chairman is a huge Barca fan ::).

1 day before all the fuss begins .. not bad

Found this on reddit recently. How hopeful are our English forum friends for this WC?  I’m thinking they could easily surprise our Belgian team on the 28th…

Saw this yesterday, 'the mentality of every England fan" before each tournament..

[Megatron1505]

Quarter finals at best for England, and i’m still not convinced we’ll get out of the group. The Tunisia game is huge, a bad result could kill the tournament straight away, a positive result should see us qualify.

Poland and Colombia are both beatable, but then we’d get either Germany or Brazil….and then we’re coming home.

My predictions.....

Winner - Brazil
Runner up - France

Dark horses - Uruguay

My country- Quarter finals

[louisbosco]

been hoping since 2002….

England to win it this year. doesn't change. nobody can change my decision..

[manufc10]

I'm thinking….

winner...Germany (still disagree with leaving out Sane though, could backfire)
runner up....Spain

dark horse....Belgium

my country....basking in the glory of a 1-1 draw with France

Cant argue too much with that! Im going with an Argentina - Brazil final which would be extremely tasty, with Brazil winning it!

France will be there or there abouts, I reckon third place play-off win!

There are some very good teams on show, its going to be epic!!!

Off to watching Portugal vs. Spain! This match better be as awesome as it sounds.

I'm hoping the same.

[Dion]

Was not disappointed! I wanted Portugal and CR7 to win, though, but it's a good start.

What a game…

[FurattoHeddo]

Loved that CR free kick
