World Cup

Any Brazilians close enough to go to a match? Im not a fan of the sport but I do watch the World Cup. Looks like Brazil is heavy favorite. May throw down a few $ for them to win.

Sure, I watch all football events. Frankly I wouldn't say they're one of the main favorites if we scratch out the fact they're playing on their soil. My pick would be Spain, Germany and Netherlands. Of course I'll be cheering for the French as always, hopefully they'll have more luck than in South Africa.
My honorary mentions would be Belgium and Uruguay. They have really good teams since the last couple of years.

Oh right.... Alez les Bleus!   

cool thanks for the info. ill send you a % of the winnings if any of those hit!  

My favorites are: 1. Algeria, 2. BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA, 3. COSTA RICA, 4.IRÃ and finally Australia. But I hope my country: BRASILLLLL. And unfortunately I watch the World Cup on television because the nearest stadium from my house is 2000 km.

You're kidding with the favorites right?
Though I'd be happy for Bosnia to get far, they've worked hard to get in mundial and their team is not that bad .

I just read Australia's been pointed out as the worst team of the world cup.

**** I forgot about Portugal , and those sleazy Italians...

My favorities
1.Brazil(+fact in own country)
2.Spain(Euro, last champioship, still awesome)
3.Germany(IMO they won't be first, but i give them almost 100% for 2nd or 3rd place, they are always good, but sometimes enemy is better(luckier xD))
4.Argentina
5.France(rly doubt)

X.for sure not Russia, its too hot for them

i found interesting ELO rating
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Football_Elo_Ratings
i think its better than fifa rating (i think that ELO is the best rating at all in every discipline xD)

The mundial will be missing, Ribery, Falcao, Suarez(probably) and maybe even C. Ronaldo... Not to mention Sweden(Ibrahimović) didn't qualify and Wales(Bale) also. There's gonna be a whole bunch of top players missing

Reus and Montolivo are out too. hehehe.

I've just heard about Reus... This is bullshit!

Have you guys checked out how Chile has been playing since the past 2 years?

Go Croatia! Our southern brothers as they say

OMFG! I knew the ref's gonna ruin the game. They always do with the native countries... That wasn't a penalty in a million years! Anyways, Croatia was at least an equal opponent and thus proving Brazil isn't that much of a favorite. I'd like to see Brazil play against Spain, Germany etc... They'll probably get raped lol. Lots of luck for them today, too bad, I was cheering for the Croats :/

lol check this out

yep that moment with ?arbiter? (dunno at all how terminologdy sounds in english)
probably never saw worse moment in football,
anyway brasil was a bit better for sure

"A bit" ain't gonna save them against better teams

lmao

spain :O

Knew it was gonna happen. You can't play the same way for ten years and not except any kind of tiki taka counter tactics. Real Madrid and Bayern M, should be a clear example. The Spaniards are way to stubborn... England is out too, nothing I didn't foresee

GO TEAM ANTARCTICA!!!

The tables have turned! My new favorites are France, Germany, Chile, Uruguay and Netherlands of course.

BRASIL AND COSTA RICA.................
