Definitely. However, I don't rate Woy.

I think it's a pretty open group, I rate none of England, Italy and Uruguay particularly highly and we shouldn't forget that Italy always starts slowly.

Agreed on both points.

Depends which Italy turn up. We can't afford our usual slow start to group stages.

Cahill is a good defender.

Its in our nature to start slow... Watching England they look so damn medicore... We will tear holes in them. Costa Rica will be a walk in the park. Uruguay will be the real test to see if we can win the WC. I personally believe this Italy has everything to Win the WC. I underdog status suits us.

Jamal... you're from Barbados. What "we"?

Our? I guess you're right, Barbados probably has the Island effect, even on their own players...

You heard it here first, Italy will win the World Cup. No doubt about it. Best team in the world.

It's very difficult to ''pass'' Uruguay's midfield. They don't have that class players, but their midfielders like Arevalo, Gargano, Diego perez etc. are that we say ''Dogs''. Stamina, dirty game, runs.

There's no problem with supporting them, I cheer for the Azzurri too, but I just find it weird to call them "we" or "us" if you're not Italian. It's not a club team.

But throw in the fact that national teams ARE BASED ENTIRELY ON NATIONALITY...

Then it all does NOT make sense.

He's English. Everyone laughs at the English.

Actually the current young english players that are all in form look like a very interesting bunch to follow this WC, if only Woy wasnt their coach, and maybe he played them in a 4-3-3 instead of 4-4-2. But even if they look bit unpolished technically compared to the other main NTs, likes of Sterling, Sturridge, Wilshere, Ox, Ross Barkley (this dude is the real deal), Lallana and such if used in the right mix would make for an interesting team. Woy does a decent job of building a solid defensive structure, but maybe this current crop could use a more adventurous coach, like the mofo coaching Pool.

Cahill is a beast.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yeah. Tim Cahill is a beast.

 

[Völler]

Yeah. Tim Cahill is a beast.

He's no Michael Thwaite though.

Robert Cornthwaite >>> Michael Thwaite
