Must be down to their fantastic youth system. Maybe Greg Dyke wasn't talking complete bollocks after all ;-)

Teams like Costa Rica qualifying with their squad is a great achievement, how true is saying 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts'

Had England somehow manage to win the most crap group in living memory instead of finishing bottom they would have played Greece in the last sixteen who somehow have managed to qualify despite being appalling.
Really there doesn't appear to be any stand out team at the competition at all. Brazil - home advantage and Neymar is class but not one of the great Brazil teams at all.
Germany - steady as ever but look slow at the back to me.
Belgium - good players - rank average as a unit though.
Argentina - looked unimpressive thus far.
Holland look good but will be found out when they come up against a good team - reckon Mexico might cause them problems.
Looks wide open to me.

Mr Blatter, Sir, welcome to our humble board. I reckon 'madgull' would be about right, the unutterable Gibbon fister.

After all, can''t have a £70m striker missing from the game for too long, think of how much money that would cost Blatter and his mates. No, what you really need to secure a draconian conviction is a grainy video which looks to have been shot on an early 2000s Nokia from two towns over of two blokes coming together in the penalty area and absolutely no evidence at all that a bite actually occurred in front of the 17 people who could be arsed to turn up.

Makes you wonder though, regards the Labadie incident. The Italian went down like he'd been shot and "all" Suarez had done was left teeth marks. If Labadie had really bitten a chunk out of the Chesterfield bloke, he sure as hell wouldn't have just got up and carried on with the game. Guilty plea be damned, there's no way that the Ladderz incident went down in the way that the official record shows.

Paging Jonny Five, that's Jonny Five to the stage please. Customer waiting.
Don't criticise FIFA and point out the glaringly obvious corruption, that's racist!!! :red:

Suarez needs help, you don't bite 3 people in 3 different moments after being reprimanded after each previous incidents

Time for a HUGE ban, the bloke needs to be made an example of how not to react to things

Neither Costa Rica or Uruguay have a hope of getting past the next round. Italy as I stated had the worst national side they have ever had.
Far from being such a hard group it was in fact rank average. To finish tailed off was pathetic.

None, but I'd rather see which of the two sides qualify. I'll still be keeping an eye out on England's performance, but find the Italy/Uruguay game more interesting.

During the Italy V costa Rica game, It was a flashback of this season for us. Bottom of the table and relying on other results. We're pro's at this :)
