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..

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

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.

[manufc10]

What a game…

[FurattoHeddo]

Loved that CR free kick

[manufc10]

his second goal though…total fuck up by DeGea.  A cheap goal one might say.

[Dion]

That's true. Although he often delivers world class saves he is also capable of such huge mistakes. I think he's overhyped by many to some degree.

[louisbosco]

yeah. everyone makes mistakes. even the world's best. i suppose he's not the kind that you would classify as consistent in error. he's without a doubt the best in the world right now.

I personally think Manuel Neuer tops him but DeGea is definitely the next best.
