World Cup

Not sure who's going to win Germany v France. Neither side filling me with confidence but think the Germans will do just enough. Congrats to Algeria though. Definitely team of the WC to date

Ahead of Columbia ?

Both sides did what was needed - last week they were touted as winners.
 
Ahead of Columbia in my book. Algeria were a much smaller team and definitely not tipped to qualify from their group so a much better performance and they played some good football especially last night.

Not sure Germany will get to the final. Don't look a good side at all

Who does look a good side ?

You say Algeria are your team of the World Cup but just got knocked out by Germany ? Who continue to score goals regulary but possibly a bit suspect at the back due to lack of fullbacks

For me I reckon Argentina look about the width of a cigarette paper better than the others contenders left.

I believe any of these could win it :-

Argentina
Brazil
Colombia
Germany
France
Holland

Quite open which should make it good to watch :thup:
 
Only just seen this post now but apparently the Algerian team have had a pardon from Ramadam while the world cup is on! Has caused some debate in their home country.

I know Ozil was observing Ramadam although he played like he hadn't eaten for about 6 months :D

Ozil actually said he wouldn't be doing Ramadan this year because of the world cup

Not going ot get involved in another long winded debate. For my money Algeira have played the most entertaining football of any side to date. Just my opinion
 
Chile were impressive & the match V Brazil was the best so far IMO.
I'll go with Colombia as the stand out team & look overpriced at 10/3 to beat Brazil over 90mins.
I still don't think we've seen the best of the Argies tho.
 
Plenty of great games this WC. Lets hope the knockouts keep it going.

Argentina are looking very ordinary in this game, plus they could easily have got beat by Iran. I think it's Colombia's for the taking.

Ordinary is being polite, they are terrible. If this were England they would be getting slaughtered. Messi will probably dig them out of a hole again though.
