Good news for England. If Germany don't top their group we might dodge them if we get to the quarter finals. Thanks Mehico :)

Looking forward to Brazil now.

Now that's what I call "winner talk".

What group is QPR in?

:D

I already know England won't win it though. I just want to see them get as far as possible.

I still don't get why England is ****tier than Iceland. Iceland has about 10 people on it and I question their ability to buy good players.

I hope white Americans jump on the Mexican bandwagon big time

We need some healing

England have a much better squad. But a group of 11 players can beat another group of 11 players in a match.

That’s why you play the games!

Oh, I thought I'd heard they were top tier. Still, why is England ****?

We're not really. Just average.

Only 8 teams have won the World Cup and England is one of them. France only managed to win it in '98 when they hosted it, Spain only won it recently too (2010). The Netherlands have never won it.

We have had lots of world class players. We punch below our weight in competitions but we are also hurt by competing as individual teams (Scotland/England/Wales/Northern Ireland). No other country in the world does that. A UK team would have won more than one World Cup :)

Also we didn't even enter the first few World Cups.

Why not? Decided to appease Germany a few years early?

The Axis Powers ain’t no joke when Murica ain’t there to back you up!

I'm not sure tbh the guys in charge just decided not to send a team for the first two. Think it's cos they didn't want to risk losing or maybe they just didn't consider it an important competition as it was in its infancy.

Irish pundits just quipped about Brazil:

"And they haven't got David Luis, Liam."
"True, Eamonn, which is a big bonus to any team."
:rofl:

:laughing:

Hope Switzerland can pull off a shock but I'm going 3-0 to the Selacao sadly.

Must have been the way they said it.

You need to know your football. Luis is a ****ing liability. They're far better off without him, and he's not good enough to be picked.

Batty, if I said Luis was equivalent to your Joey Belladonna in The Return of the Kings of Metal, would you get it then?

What are you referring to?

Couthino's the man! :D
:clap: :bowdown:

That was a superb strike.

#JogaBonito :cool:

1-0 Brazil.

alrite legit wut now

There has been a goal Charles.

We are talking about the goal.

I thought this was another thread for a second lol.

Who let this guy in???

Edit: I missed everything after the Coutinho goal, as I had to give Karen her dinner. Also missed the halftime talk. What happened?

Edit again:

O-ho! It is ON! 1-1 :D

Not a lot happened Trolls.

1-1 :D

England's path means Brazil or Germany in the QF, if they both finish second in their group we will have a relatively easy path to the semis :D

Come on Switzerland!

This would be an even bigger upset according to Vegas

Lol at Batty: he's like the one sobre guy in a roomful of drunks, or the one non-nerd at ComicCon! :laughing:

Really want this to end with Jesus scoring the winning goal. "Jesus Saves Brazil!" :laughing: :cool:

For the draw? Or a Swiss win?

I think he means just if Brazil don't win, and win well.

Can't see a draw having longer odds than a Mexico win. Must mean Brazil losing.

No headline now. Jesus subbed. :(

Should have kept him on and played him CF, get him on some crosses.

Commentator: "The Swiss are just trying to wind down the clock here"!!! :laughing:

:rofl:
:bowdown:

surely they could’ve nailed it at least once

Betting on a draw on this game would win half as much as betting on Mexico’s win

A winning bet on a Swiss is paying around 650/100 meaning Vegas oddsmakers would make a Brazil loss a bigger upset than Germany’s

How many teams advance from each group?

:clap:

They're getting crucified out there. :D

Two.

Brazil will qualify.
