World Cup Group B - Australia, Chile, Netherlands, Spain

[P.D.]

i do think he(ramos) is incredibly good. but, you do wonder how he would do for a weaker side. he seems to get caught out quite frequently and doesnt seem to track runners that well. but like you said, this isnt obvious because his team isnt in defending for large parts of games. at the end of the day though, he is very good on the ball (for a defender), is quick, and is very good 1v1, and therefore can play in a high line. which is the requiement for top teams.

In my view no defender that's had 19 red cards for their club can be considered world class. That's more than anyone in the history of la liga.

 

[P.D.]

Chile: Bravo, Mena, Isla, Medel, Jara, Vidal, Valdivia, Aranguiz, Diaz, Sanchez, Vargas

Australia: Ryan, Franjic, Davidson, Wilkinson, Spiranovic, Milligan, Oar, Jedinak, Bresciano, Cahill, Leckie

what happened to matias fernandez? Used to be quality and was touted as the next big thing.

 

[indianspur]

Leckie! Get in. Used to play for my A League club. He's a bit like Bale, not as good but with better hair.

To be a bit like Bale must mean he is a bit good sign him up!!

Loving the Robben Rvp combo......well done to LVG, simply the best. Tottenham's loss, Utds massive gain

Spain can only group finish runners up, and if they do, they will play Brazil in the round of 16.

How can they not win it?

 

[shaney]

Unlikely. Having wiped the floor with the defending champions, van Gaal will have them believing they can win it.

History shows that one swallow does'nt always make a summer.

Anything could still happen.

How can they not win it?

They won't make up the goal difference. Spain were hardly free scoring in 2010. Holland will take at least three points from their remaining games.

skills, what did you have?

that game had my WC run come to a grinding halt

 

[Mumorn]

considering all the other coincidences pointing at an England win at the moment... that year, the holders went out in the groups.

Spain, oh dear.

 

[vkn17]

I put 20 on Netherlands before the game and then another 20 when they were 1-0 down (19x the money) and finally another 40 for them to score the 4th goal =)

 

[Seedy Ron]

Good start for the kangaroo botherers...

 

[Baleforce]

[DHSF]

Damn I should have put it all on Chile!

 

[Mumorn]

I don't know but a better who believes in patterns in random events is someone who is going to lose money
