I'd probably put Brazil down around 8, move Colombia down to 9. Move Belgium up to 7. Other than that, looks like a pretty good list.

The sleeping on Greece is funny. And Argentina higher than France.
Does every countries manager have the same influence on each countries top league?
I can't see an England manager having an influence on the FA but I can see Capello and Jurgen having influence on their leagues.

- Germany
- Netherlands
- France
- Colombia
- Argentina
- Chile
- USA
- Belgium
- Mexico
- Costa Rica

Do you see how they play?
They make you fall asleep.
I thought Brazil and Colombia looked much better than Belgium in the group stages. Belgium won all 3 games, yes, but it was an easy group and yet they didn't win any of their games by a convincing scoreline. Colombia was also in an easy group, but they handled all three of their opponents with class. Brazil had a slightly underwhelming group stage, but they went through undefeated and with their talent and home field advantage, I still think they are the team to beat right now.

Yep, those two have. It depends on the league and the goal. MLS wants to improve, Russia wants to be prepared for 2018. That is why they bought Capello and Klinsmann. But Bundesliga or Premier League listening to the national team coach? Lulz
I think Germany should be on top, they have more talent and experience than anyone else. Take Brazil down a few notches, they haven't impressed me one bit. Other than that, good list.
The top 6 are all contenders IMO. Maybe Belgium too, although they've shown jack shit until now.

Not sure about that, but he's the one that hit the ref and got knocked to the ground.
I must say that the refs have impacted tons of play in this WC. At the same time the ref kicked a ball in the RUS game. They are getting in the way of play more and more, and frankly its just sad. This example isn't really his fault, but there's been at least six or seven times I've seen a ref influence play directly.

It's not satire but it's not serious either. Ann coulter lives to rile up normal people and especially liberals.
She's nothing more than a professional troll.
Shit's real. I remember my parent wouldn't buy me a Germany shirt in 2002 because Nazis.

I am a bit iffy on france now after their game vs Ecuador. First team to test them and they didn't perform like before especially when you consider the fact that ecuador was playing with 10 men
Most trolls will have tells or moments when you can tell they are just trying to rile up a crowd(like Hannity) but Coulter is always the same crazy.
I think she is really like that.
Stay classy world.

Mexico's doomed for a 6th consecutive elimination in Round of 16 isn't it? This is just a fucking curse already. If FIFA wasn't dead set on making sure Brazil qualified as 1st by disallowing two legitimate Mexican goals and not give a clear penalty in our third game we might have gone through as 1st and avoid Netherlands.
Christ, we ended up playing against the one team no one wanted to see this early in the knockout rounds.

It's not like they're unbeatable. Australia should have defeated them. Mexico is in the same league as Australia but a few levels higher. Imo you boys have a decent chance.

Maybe Netherlands will feel the pressure now that so many people are talking about them as potential winners, you never know, but Mexico definitely won't be push overs; they have quality everywhere.
Nightmare scenario for Europe:
Greece gets to final of World cup
Beats Brazil 0-1
Critics adopt Greek style football because they feel its the new beautiful form
Football fans either kill themselves or fall asleep when watching Greek football spread
Football becomes so unpopular FIFA is no longer corruptible.
Football clubs in Germany, England, Italy, and France convert the pitches to Counter Strike arenas.
2022 FIFA CounterStrike World Cup is played in Sweeden.
Greece can not win.

don't think colombia will win it, just been most impressed by their performances. don't really count france's final game because they obviously didn't care.

Yeah, if we just advance to the next round I'll be immensely satisfied. Top 8 ain't too shabby. This world cup is probably the most popular in the states ever so far and has already added a lot of interest into soccer here

Nah man, they rested key players (they started with 6 different players from the line up against Switzerland) and would have ended first of the group even with a loss. They surely should have scored one or two, but they didn't need to go 100% and risk of injuries and more yellow cards.
I can only imagine what it would be for a SA country to eliminate Brazil in Brazil. Madness.
Like, the party would last for days I imagine. Good luck =)
Well, Uruguayans are still celebrating 1950.
This is based on how good the teams can perform. Group play is full of oddness that sees strange results and performances, both for good and bad.

So yeah, I don't expect the US to go through to the final 8, but I do think that they have a decent shot at it. I just don't know that we're one of the best 8 teams in the world left. I hope it doesn't happen, but I think that Costa Rica will come back down to earth. They've been playing great, but I think that they were a bit underestimated and taken far too lightly (which may have been true of the US and Mexico as well).
Switzerland is too much of a one man show, and they got obliterated by France. Belgium feels like a team that could go deep if they figure out how to play smarter team ball. The individual talent is there, but they're scattered.
I might have Colombia too high, but I like them going through one more round, given that Uruguay is toothless without Suarez, though Diego Forlan might be able to stir up some magic, but it's not very likely.

I think it's largely due to the fact that Mexico fired so many coaches during quals and there was no guarantee he'd do any better. I'm sure he'll get a new deal after the WC that pays him a salary commensurate with his achievements.
You guys beat didn't even beat England.
England!
The most pathetic, horrible, failure, deadbeat, has-been, feeble, pitiful, sorry, woeful, inadequate, useless, wretched, worthless, poor, and shity football nation out there.
England should just give their spot to Scotland next time or let their players play for Ireland like the 1994 Irish squad.
