Just face it noobs, we will always be better than you at this sport.

You can have cricket or some boring ass shit like baseball.
Well done, thanks for making my point. You can't explain yourself so you turn to insults.

Explain your point, or I'm banning you for the rest of the World Cup. It's 40 minutes past the hour.

If you've not responded by the top of the next hour, you're done until the first of August.

Germany the only hope for Europe in this world cup. :)
France and Netherlands too, depending on how they hold up mentally in the elimination stages. Italy would be a force to be reckoned with too if they make it out of the group stage.
And it's not like the usual SA super-powers have been overly impressive anyway. The Argies lack in midfield and defense, while Brazil doesn't seem to have a game-plan yet.

France will go down at some point.

Hard to say - they've always had talent with mental toughness being their biggest enemy. That's where DD has made the difference, so I am quite intrigued how they hold up in a do-or-die game. Best French NT since Zidan's from late 90s to early 00s.
I can see them lose to the Dutch, Germans or even the Italians but not the Argies or Brazil, unless they really, really up their game.

I know they play some good football at the moment, but no way this side will win a WC, I can't see it. Deschamps made it a team, but they still don't have enough experience and they're not mentally prepared. They're having it easy now, we'll see what they're made of in the round of 16 and beyond.

    I smell hypocrisy.

    People here cry foul when British fans and journalists are too blind to see past the EPL in front of their noses to even consider that anything else that exists in football could even be half as good.

    We have that now here in the Tuz with internationals and Europe. People here are just as guilty.

    that was kind of my point - the most important aspect of DD' touch - mental toughness and maturity - is yet to be tested. Personally, I think they are better in that regard than they've been in a long time. Will see if that'd also mean good enough.

    Did you honestly expect people and hypocrisy would all of a sudden no longer walk hand-in-hand :p

    I honestly think they're racist. Like @Twenty---3 saying Germany is Europe's hope and totally ignoring France because they're mostly black people.
    Me racist :). I wish France and Pogba good luck to them.

    I guess I missed that headline where they kicked France out of Europe.
    France won't have a chance against this German team. The way the Germans were just changing the pace of the game was crazy to watch.

    France and Netherlands too, depending on how they hold up mentally in the elimination stages. Italy would be a force to be reckoned with too if they make it out of the group stage.

    Holland they always play good football in the group stages. In the knockout rounds they are no where to be found. And France I still don't trust them even though they are playing great up to this point. If Italy get out of the Group stages than is different story. Tuesdays game is very tricky I hope they advance to the next round.

    At the end of the day I still think the final will be Argentina vs Brazil.
