They're so nervous, took them an hour to get started.

If Hazard starts to play like he does for chelsea, they can make it to the quarters. Where they'll lose to france.

Belgium would probably have to beat argentina to get there. I think it'll be netherlands/argentina in one semi and brazil/germany in the other.

And France to win the whole thing, obviously.

France looks a lot better than I was expecting and I'm not expecting much from Argentina to be honest, everything seems so focused on Messi and relying on Messi to lead the team to the cup.

Edit: and I'd guess that if the Netherlands make it to the quarter finals they'll face Italy and that would be a very, very hard match to win.

I agree about france, they look decent. Although I doubt they'll make it past the quarters. Still, beats going on strike.

Argentina look good, although i'm biaised as i've got a tenner on them. Messi, aguero, di maria, and the rest of the squad isn't awful. And they're from round the corner. And they hate Brazil.

Italy's players are as poor as I've seen them in my lifetime. Won't stop them from beating a dutch side on penalties though.

If the Netherlands meet Italy I'm expecting Balotelli to feign his death in the 16 and get a penalty that ends up being the deciding goal.


And I could very well be wrong about Argentina but the entire country and team and everyone in the world seem to expect Messi to be the new Maradona and single handedly beat everyone else.

I expect Messi to try to sell me some car insurance after the game. He easily wins the "most talent per least charisma" award. That said, if you were going to pick a player to build a team around, it'd be hard to do better.

I expect Ronaldo to flash me in the carpark.

And yeah, the only debate is whether the guy is the first, second, or third greatest player ever.

He hasn't really shown it for Argentina though.



And holy crap, I think Mexico and Brazil aren't sure if they're playing a football match or a death match...

That thumbs up was a nice touch, though.

Someone who cares about the World Cup explain why there's a celestial octopus on my Google front screen. I get the two boxes with the nations' flags and the octopud deciding which to open but what is the angelic mollusc all about?

It's funny, sometimes you watch Brazil and they're so much better but have no goals. It feels like they should be winning games 10 to nil then they end up losing.

Now that they've stopped trying to die and actually play, yeah. Kind of always been my problem with Latin teams.

That save. Right on the ******' line. Damn.

I like Neymar, but he's a bit isolated in this team. The only other great players in that team are defenders. Having said that, Hulk is a cool name. And so is Fred. He should really be working on a gay cruisehip in the Med.

That's true, Hulk's actually a serviceable center forward, but name aside he's probably a little small. The other great players are defenders, but, come on, they're really great defenders. There's a reason it seems like they're in transition every twenty seconds.

Right-ho, thanks. After last night's double-eagle doodle (symbol of both nations, sure) I was starting to suspect that the octopus was the national bird of Mexico and Brazil.
