You're favorites.

 

[Bjerknes]

England will win the World Cup with ease. They have all the best players, the best manager, and the best fans.

They are far superior to Brazil and Spain.

They are favourites.

Bastards.

I will not get drawn into your mind games. USA will beat us and we'll go out in the group stage.

It may as well be 1966 again and all the mighty Lions need to do is stroll on down to Wembley and pick it up.

You've just predicted a British tabloids headline in 2018.

I double as a fortune teller in my spare time.

So everybody here seems to agree that Higuain > Milito? Since nobody mentions Milito at all.

Milito is the man.

I would play him over Higuain any day.

I hope that finally a smaller team will make the final and surprise everyone.
These so called smaller teams were close to the final on the last 4-5 occasions. Bulgaria and Sweden in 1994, Croatia in 1998, Turkey and Korea in 2002 and even Portugal in 2006.

But I can see only Spain as a newcomer in the final and it won't even be a surprise at all.

Argentina could go quite far.

They are one of the smaller teams, what with playing midgets like Messi, Aguero and Tevez.

 

[Ventus]

LOL

cambiasso not picked!

Maradonna still on drugs

 

[The Curr]

Calamity James says Capello is the best England manager ever.

you wouldnt say that if you watched argentina games, as for the height only one of the three plays at a time and their defense is one of the tallest actually

BS...All england have is a strong central defence and Wayne Rooney

Their full backs are a joke
midfield is rubbish.
Goal keeper..ha ha..

With Maradona and Dunga fecking up the options, Spain looks like the clear favourite at the moment.

I would even throw some money on Holland.

 

[Firestarter]

Maradona

Indeed. Oh boy.

Fabricio Coloccini

EDIT: You guys already picked up on that and Jonas haha.

Milito > Higuain...

Higuain's has more pace and but his finishing leaves a lot to be desired in big matches. Milito is superior in finishing and has a better tactical acumen.

Maradona on his part thinks football is all about Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Not sure who would take up the inside right position but inside left midfield would be a toss up between Veron and Tevez. But any team that has Heinze in the backline and Palermo in the attack should lose badly even if it has a World XI in the remaining positions, Argentina is unlikely to go past the second round.

Zanetti woud've excelled in inside right and either Banega or Cambiasso would've fit brilliantly in a three men midfield.

 

[Oggy]

Silva and Jussie aren't surprises. This isn't your daddy's Brazil side. Dunga is going to play tough football.

Baptista won't make the 23.

But there is 23 players on that list, so I don't think we gonna see changes.

 

[Raz]

Maradona is out of this mind, I certainly would have taken Cambiasso, maybe he is an inter player, but he is great.

 

[Nicholas]

Banega has had a better season than Cambiasso.

 

[K.O.]

 

[Nicholas]

Have you even seen Banega this season?

 

[K.O.]

That was in response to Maradona's not calling up Cambiasso, even though I personally think Cambiasso had a better season than Banega. I've seen Banega in Europa League matches, he was good but not as good as Esteban IMO.

Cambiasso is better than all DMs called up by Diego combined!
