World Cup Group A - Brazil, Cameroon, Croatia, Mexico

[braineclipse]

Croatia to join Brazil in the knockout stages for me.

They look a lot stronger than both Cameroon and Mexico to me, although I'm probably biased as I have a weak spot in my heart for Croatia.

Just seen that SexxxNiko is injured and not playing this summer. Think I might give this tournament a miss now

 

[Jordinho]

We have one Spurs player against a former one who acted like a **** to get away from the club. Guess who'll be getting fawned over/****ged off?

One current, one possibly soon-to-be and three former Spurs players in the opening game.


Practically hosting it...

Are Brazil wearing blue?! Or is that just their training kit?

Does anybody think Croatia could have a sniff tonight ???

 

[Jordinho]

Host nation has never lost opening game

8 of last 12 opening matches have produced 1 goal or less

Will be a close game but 2-1 to Brazil and Oscar gets the opener.

Would have been disappointed if Brazil had not been wearing their yellow.

1 current Spurs player + 3 former Spurs players. Not too shabby!\o/

[Jordinho]

Couldn't happen to a nicer **** :lol:

 

[Yossarian]

It's been coming to be fair.

 

[Jordinho]

Stadium lights failing. No surprise considering they just finished building it today.

Is Jelavic the best Croatia have to lead the line?
