I just want to get out of the group! I swear, the world cup takes weeks off of my life with every match that we play.

Will the flag tags be back for the World Cup? Please tell me the flag tags will be back....

As I said earlier, they took a lot of work to do and caused a lot of bickering by people who didn't opt-in correctly rather than a source of amusement/enjoyment for others.

If there's a particularly strong clamouring for them to return in some form I can speak to the mods but I highly doubt they'll allow it again. May have to be something incorporated in to our avatars instead.

Would like a hard group for Portugal, we play better against good opposition.

That's gonna see a lot of use during the cup.

Can't wait.

Will be the go-to reaction gif when we beat Brazil in the final and hoist the cup.

And by beat Brazil in the final, I really mean lose to Ghana on a last second goal and go out in the group stages :(

i really doubt spain is gonna win it again
probably either brazil or germany

on a side note

Tim Howard was awesome today for Everton.

I too want flag tags.

Badly.

Also, can't wait for server crashes during matches.



Also, the 1st 2010 WC thread was the impetus behind the 20k limit on threads iirc.


Can't wait!

I wouldn't say you guys play better, it's just it suits you better when an opponent plays open. You guys can't break down sides very well when they just bunker and defend.

can we get flags on our tags like last time?

Poor Alaska and Hawaii

They know they're included...ON THE FLAG!

Yes, another reason to bring back flag tags!

Rooting for Mexico. I've got a feeling we will have a hard group this time around. Fortunately, no one has expectations about this WC after the clusterfuck that was our qualification. Some use the argument that Uruguay made it to semis in South Africa even though they went to the World Cup through playoffs like we did but we don't have the talent to go that far. Should be fun regardless.

As an Australian, all the teams outside of Pot 3 should be be praying to get Australia. We're not the team from 8 years ago let alone 4 years ago. Two decent young keepers and a heap of young semi-talented players who can barely keep in their lower top tier or second/third tier teams.

Sadly we can't play 10, hell why not 11, Tim Cahills.

This is true, even moreso when you have shit wingers like Nani. I'd like to think Portugal would be so much more dangerous up front if their players knew how to cross.

Iran, SK and AUS are too weak. Japan is the hope of Asia, they have some really promising players this time. If recent results against stronger european teams is anything to go by then they can pose a strong challenge.

I hope Brazil is among the teams that can win if Neymar dives less than ten times in the entire tournament.

Fingers crossed Nigeria gets a good group. Want to avoid Spain and Germany if possible.

I think I'd probably cry tears like that if we beat Brazil for the final.

He'll go to Brazil once Zenit win Europa League, and don't forget Gazprom adjustments to the cup.

#Believe

Are we getting little flags again this time ?


I'm pledging my allegiance to ITALIA !

Because Germany have Löw, I'm also going with Brazil.

#TwoTeamWanker #FückLöw

Argentina, Brazil or Spain to win it.

I just hope Brazil loses, can't stand Felipao cunt.

Go Chile!

I dont agree, we are about the same as 2010.
We have alot of players who are level who could join our current team, problem was Holger Osieck refused to play european youngsters like Shane Lowry and Leckie.
Got this A-league stars and nohopers like Lucas Neill playing purely because of experience now
