Strictly for football supporters only - World Cup pick now England have departed?

Costa Rica

I'm cheering on all the underdogs.

Iran and Ghana have done brilliant today.

Realistically, i think Holland, Germany, Brazil, and France will all do very well. I don't feel confident in picking the two finalists and a possible winner as this World Cup has definately been unpredictable.

France are going well under the radar at the moment

money is still on argentina though

I don't think Argentina have played that great actually. The same with Brazil.

Not in the same league as they have played before.

Isn't it always the ones that start off quite average that end up winning it though aurorablues?

And yes, in terms of European team I agree with sax, there's only France (and Holland to an extent) that have looked capable of winning it. But I think it will go to a S. American team.

I was sitting there watching Argentina today thinking 'oh god, now I'm supporting them they are doomed'. Iran were VERY unlucky to not get away with at least a point.

Haha! That's always the way isn't it.

I so wanted Iran to get a goal or atleast hold onto the draw, they worked their socks off and looked really good out there. Blinding Goal from Messi though.

The Fifa !!!!! will allow Brazil to win, to prevent widespread violence marring the World Cup.
This would explain the extremely dodgy penalty they were awarded in the opening game.

the word M a f i a is a swear word on this forum?
