Easy to forget when you win the whole thing.

But seriously, looking forward to this one. 2010 World Cup was my junior year at HS and skipping to town to watch that was fantastic. Excited for Rooney and Croatia.

I'm trying to figure out if Colombia are for real or not. I think they're going to choke on a big stage with real competition. 2010 was a good learning experience for Chile. I may be biased but I really think they will surprise a lot of people. All I know is they are a team I wouldn't want to play against.
Ideally there would be some sort of seeding committee for this instead of a random draw, but considering FIFA could probably never seat a relatively unbiased committee with all the politics involved the ping pong balls are the best option.
Winning your qualifying group should mean something.

Beat us with ease without their best player. We rotated as well but they were far far better.Originally Posted by criesofthepast

First rooting for USA
Then inevitably rooting for Germany

Probably already been said but Iran vs. USA please. Could help to bring our countries together and bring out the wingnuts either way.
JM7 to tear it up before he melts into a puddle and evaporates into the rainforest.
This is Ronaldo's time to show why he's the best player in the world.
So much rides on him to make this a memorable World Cup.

They were losing 3-0 to Chile in Barranquilla before Chile stopped playing and let them back in.
Colombia is probably the 4th best team in South America.
where can I watch this? is there a legal stream?
Yes, a team that needed Graham Zusi to score a late goal against Panama, when the US wasn't even really trying, to even make it to the World Cup is going to go to the semis.Originally Posted by jamesinclair
Lolercoaster.
Uruguay has been garbage this year, and Russia has been garbage for 100 years
Mexico will waltz straight into the semi finals
You missed the last two games when they went back to their roots and kicked out all the eurosnob posers.Yes, a team that needed Graham Zusi to score a late goal against Panama, when the US wasn't even really trying, to even make it to the World Cup is going to go to the semis.
Massive victories
This is the year guys, USA all the way.
I don't know if we stand a chance, but I'm glad my country is involved again for once.
Even if Klinsmann fucks up monumentally, he's already done a lot for the future of the USMNT. Lots of younger players committing to the team could mean really good things for future World Cups.USA has Klinsmann as trainer. He will fuck up completely or miraculously win the WC. Wait, no, he won't win the WC, not even with a miracle, but he could surprise us.
That said, I hope we get far/win it all next year.
Ronaldo is the best player in the world at the momentRonaldo is statistically and demonstrably the best player in the world this season and since the back end of last season too.
Messi is the best player in the world
Hope both can go into the world cup with some momentum, which won't be happening for Messi unless Barca stop rushing him back from injury and start trusting some of their other apparently world class players to get the job done.
It never would've happened if Barca hadn't called Messi back far too early to bail them out if the Milan game. He wasn't fit a month later when they got hammered by Munich. He hasn't been right since then. That was nine months ago.Originally Posted by The_Hitcher89

He doesn't really seem to be great when it comes to strategy or formation, but he's got a good eye for talents and in general a good (youth player) attitude.Originally Posted by aggro crag

He wasn't just "not fit", he was a walking corpse against Bayern. He should just take off a month or two to regenerate and fill up his batteries.It never would've happened if Barca hadn't called Messi back far too early to bail them out if the Milan game.

It was like watching a distant relative being killed by a thousand cuts. Every touch got away from him, every pass misplaced/misweighed. He could barely even run, and Bayern even scored after he fell over under no pressure and lost possession. It was honestly sad to watch

That GIF where Ribery just dribbles around Messi who can barely react is almost heartbreaking.Originally Posted by The_Hitcher89

how is Bosnia a want over Croatia in Pot D???
Wow, so many African teams this time. Wasn't it only Nigeria and South Africa only because they were host last time?
England as neutral in the OP? They're not that bad this time, are they? I haven't been following them.
Russian here. Will root for Russia and then when they'll inevitably fail will root for Germany as always.

,They're all relative to the Pot they are in.
Would you want to have to play anyone in Pot 1? Nope. But you have to so you want to avoid one of the consensus strongest four in Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina.
In Pot 3, Japan are far and away the strongest team. Widespread opinion is that US are the other main team you want to avoid from that pot as they won their qualifying and their general history in the competition. Once again, all relative to the other nations in their pot.
