Messi can't do shit in WCs, he got a little better playing with Argentina but there are miles ahead of him to get even near his style at Barca.
He doesn't have Alonso or Iniesta giving him balls in Argentina though.

I'm not even from Netherlands but I'll get mad if they don't keep that high level of play.
Hoping that they don't be Robin Hoods of football, taking points from the big teams and giving to the smaller ones.
Come on England, Come on England!
Staying up for this. Lets see if God can save your Queen. The incoming tears should be priceless

Can anyone tell me how FIFA fantasy league works and why Casillas has 10 points from last night ? While Persie has 12 ?
You could argue that Portugal is one of the most successful nations in the world over the last 14 years.1 quaterfinal, 3 semis, 1 final between both Euros & WC. Not bad for a little country of 10 million. My prediction for Monday, they are due to beat the Germans.

Robbed OP. Pls nerf.

Pls.
It's really not a weak defence outside of Johnson, and the midfield is fine. Sterling and Sturridge will save us.

It will be damn hard for The Netherlands to achieve this.
If we, by any chance, win this Poule we will be pit against Mexico or Cameroen.
Quarter Finals will probably be against Italy, Uruguay or England (depending on who wins Poule D)
Semi Finals will probably be against Argentina
Oh boy. Haha.

Buffon officially out, it's Sirigu's time to shine! Hopefully he's fully fit after his own issues.

It is ok. Buffon wasn't going to have much work to do anyways.

Hope he gets better / fully recover.
I almost forgot we got knocked out by Brazil again in 98. Oh man the repressed traumas.
Predictions
Columbia - Greece 1-1
Honestly, I really dislike the tactics of the Greeks. It's unappealing football and because of that I'd love a loss. However, after the friendly match against Holland I think the Columbias or a bunch of dicks. Dirty team at times. So I'm conflicted.
Uruguay - Costa Rica 3-0
Sorry Costa Rica GAF. Even without Suarez Uruguay will take a few bites out of C-S.
England - Italy 1-3
I'm with Italy in this match. I don't think England stands a chance sadly.
Ivory Coast - Japan 1-2
Ivory Coast has some good players, but I believe Japan is more of a team. Plus I want Team Pokémon winning.
Columbia - Greece 1-1

From what I've heard all morning at the RaiSport talk show, a lot of people think we are better off without him.
Woah, yesterday's Match (Spain - Netherlands) was amazing. I went into the match hoping 1-1 or maybe a lucky win 1-2 for The Netherlands... but what happened was really astonishing.
Arguably, the penalty shouldn't be given. Arguably, that 1-3 goal by De Vrij shouldn't be given. (Arguably, both goals should [and have] been given).
But still, a really exciting match. Spain will have a difficult task when they have to play Chili. And The Netherlands? While yesterday's performance has been astonishing, and while I do believe they'll get through the group fase, I dont'think yesterday's performance will be repeated by The Netherlands (against Australia and Chili).
