2014 FIFA World Cup

[Rafael]

Fucking Henrique. Average-to-decent defender but Felipão ''trusts'' him because he played well in the Second Division for his favourite team.

That and he ruined my chance of getting a free uniform.

No Coutinho is a shame.

[METALMAN]

No kaka in the Brazil sqwod. It's all just these young trendy people like Neymar and Wiklian.

Modern football is rubbish.

[brenchill]

Where's the real Ronaldo? Cafu? Dunga?

This WC is going to be crap all the real WC players aren't even going to be there.

[METALMAN]

I am actually serious about this you know :/

[Rafael]

No Coutinho is a shame.

Big Phil only calls up people who played for him whether by club/national team.

He did neither.

I hope Klose goes and manages to back the few goals he needs to be overall top goalscorer at the tournament :-)

Balls to that, Ronaldo deserves to keep that honour a lot longer

I'm not, really. We play shit football, and that Confederations Cup win was based mostly on the biggest support I've seen coming from brazilians for the national team. Maybe we'll win the World Cup that way, but I wouldn't be surprised if we lost in the last 16 to Holland/Spain.

[METALMAN]

I don't think people sitting at the side and shouting was mostly responsible for the Confederations Cup win. :/

[TCO]

Yeah everyone said we had the best fans at Euro 2012, but were the drizzling shits nonetheless.

[EddieG]

On the opening day of the World Cup, Belgium and the US will be playing a friendly game, no fans or TV in attendance however, so it'll just be a training game more than anything.

Yes, but the whole manifestation thing going on, people singing the national anthem after it was done playing, you could see it really got the players pumped up for the first 10~15 minutes, which is where we took advantage in most games. It was the psychological superiority and a couple of early goals generated by massive fan support leading us to the title. The only exception being that final.

[TroutMaskReplica]

Carlos Vela injured?

[Cymbols]

He refuses to play for the National side apparently. He got in trouble in 2011 whilst on National duty and hasn't played for them since.

[Colly]

How the hell is Shola Ameobi even a Premier League player let alone getting near a World Cup squad.

In his past 5 PL seasons, he's played 125 games and scored 15 goals...

First post in a week so I'd best make it important:

Fuck off.
