What do you guys think, will Brazil trash North Korea or will it be a close game?

 

[The Curr]

I'd guess that they'll hammer them but I know nothing about NK's team.

You know that they're one of the weaker Asian teams at this WC, with South Korea, Japan and the Aussies (as an Asian team in this case) being superior to N. Korea.
Granted, South Korea is a good team so being worse than them doesn't make you a bad team, but the North Koreans didn't show anything good in the qualifiers and they lack the experience the other Asians have here.
Brazil will hammer them

Exciting

I'm glad I have Luis Fabiano as my FF Team captain

 

[Alen]

I have Fabiano as my captain too. I have Villa left too and Maicon and Iniesta, but I will probably have to replace Iniesta

They better.

I took a bet at 9/2 that North Korea will concede the most goals at this World Cup.

Bloody Germans, eh?

I forgot and ended up with Lahm as my Captain. I still have Maicon and Fabiano left.

Lahm as a captain turned out pretty sweet though.

 

[Red]

Bloody Germans, eh?

I'm not unduly concerned about that because I don't see Ghana or Serbia thrashing the Aussies.

All three teams in the group are capable of scoring at least three against North Korea.

That rule that you have to manually sub your starter if they are out with an injury was a bullcrap addition to the game, IMO. I just don't have the time nor patience to check the injury report every morning.

 

[Dragon]

I sold Maicon to get Luis Fabiano since Julio Cesar is my GK. I don't expect NKorea to score so he better give me lots of points.

Will make DVilla my captain next round, when Spain will trash honduras. Hopefully Villa will score 5

You'll probably win

 

[swag]

Bad bet. North Korea will launch a surface-to-surface missile in the middle of their matches to destroy the other bench.

I would stick with New Zealand for that bet...

 

[The Curr]

No one in NZ's group will hammer them.

 

[Dragon]

I don't see Italy/Paraguay scoring more than 2 against NZ. For me the winner would be between NK and Honduras

 

[Red]

I'm not sure 'winner' is the word I would choose.

 

[Enron]

Lahm as a captain turned out pretty sweet though.

I had Gerrard in my midfield.

 

[Alen]

Don't you guys think that a team that will pass the group stages might be the team that concedes the most goals?

Afterall, the team that will lose the 3rd place match might end up conceding the most goals, simply because that team will play 7 matches and North Korea or Honduras will play 3 matches.
