World Cup - 2014 Brazil

[Peter Renn]

I only gave my pre-tourney opinion on their chances being better than previous tournies. My worst nightmare would come true if England won so if you're looking for someone to defend England then I'm not your man. .

I dont defend them haha in fact i dislike them, they only won 66 by cheating, but always count themselves to favourites haha even nothing ever won besides that, its an average team but far away from top national teams with winning chances, maybe we germans need give them 4 again haha

Honestly I don't think England have good chances at WC.

2-1 for Italy, the fight will be between Uruguay and England now.

Spain and Croatia?? The group is spain Netherlands and Australia...

My mistake. For Croatia, post should have read Netherlands.

If Costa Rica can beat Uruguay so well, then England must have a good chance against them. Assuming Italy beat CR, then it could all come down to a straight shootout between Costa Rica and England for qualification. So England are far from out of it.

I didnt say they out but they already under pressure, cause Costa Rica win was out of their imagination but sure still chances..

Well, hardly possible, if spain wins against Chile n Australia they have 6points,if Chile beats Netherlands they have 6 points as well,and the dutch too, might end up the dutch out.... Noone will go through second place as u face a stronger team and well yes spain needs to come from a few goles behind but i think its doable, but interesting

My bad for not clarifying my post. I only think Holland will be in a position to rest players (to prevent yellow card accumulation or rest minor injuries) if they beat Australia by several goals to create what should be a safe goal differential. I was checking some of Austrilia's post-qualification friendlies from this season and saw they suffered a pair of 6:0 defeats to Brazil and France respectfully in addition to blowing a 3 goal lead in a 3:4 loss to Ecuador. I understand they're friendlies and not sure if the starters played but it was those three games that got me thinking a situation where the Dutch have a GD of +8 or more after the Austrilia game is possible, which could lend itself to a situation where they may be able to rest players for the final game.
