Morning All With the World Cup less than a week away, I thought I would organise a thread for the tournament. Maybe even have a few predictions to get us in the mood, but please, keep all WC topics in this thread My prediction are as follows: Winners - Brazil Top Goalscorer - Fred Surprise Package - Chile, but they're loosly deemed a surprise with the line up they have. Player of the Tournament - Neymar if Brazil win, otherwise Di Maria (looking very impressive!!) Englands Progress - Group Stages
Winners - Brazil Top Goalscorer - Aguero Surprise Package - Bosnia & Herzegovina Player of the Tournament - Modric Englands Progress - 2nd Round I cannot wait for it all to start.
My prediction are as follows: Winners - Spain Top Goalscorer - Messi Surprise package - Korea Republic for reaching the quarters. Player of the Tournament - Sergio Ramos Englands Progress - Quarter Finals where they would meet either Brazil or Spain
Winners - Germany Top Goalscorer - Romelu Lukaku Surprise package - Belgium to reach semi-finals Player of the Tournament - Mesut Ozil England's Progress - Quarter Finals I'm heading out to Brazil for the England v Costa Rica match.
Winners - England Top Goalscorer - Aguero Player of the Tournament - Wayne Rooney Surprise package - Bosnia-Herzegovina
Winners - Argentina Top goalscorer- Suarez Player of the tournament- Aguero Surprise package- Chile England's Progress- Quarter-finals. A South American World Cup.
Pogba for young player? I like the look of the French actually, though it is hanging in the balance with Ribery.
Winners - Brazil Top goalscorer- Augero Player of the tournament- Hazard Surprise package- Switzerland England's Progress- Knocked out in group stage
winners Iran Top scorer Reza. Player of the Tournament also the mighty Gooch. Surprise package Reza staying on his feet in a promising position England humbled by Reza in the Final. Or alternatively Brazil Messi Messi again Bosnia-Herz to get out of their group Quarters for England, though that's optimistic
Winners - Germany Top Goalscorer - Klose Surprise Package - Belgium Player of the Tournament - Mats Hummels Englands Progress - QF Final
Cheers, Captain B. I haven't got a flag but I shall try to locate one. Any ideas? Just got back from Israel. I was compiling and collating research for a well-known writer, so it was more a labour of love than work. It's a tough gig.
Hope you have a fantastic time, it's a great experience. During my only world cup, as a member of Ally's Army, I had the good fortune to meet my childhood hero, Denis Law. He's a lovely guy, no airs and graces, just wanted to talk football with the fans and hear what we had to say. I was unable to contribute to the discussion, because he was such a huge hero of mine I was speechless.
Bit late to the party but here goes. Winners - Brazil Top Scorer - Lukaku Player of the Tournament - Neymar Surprise Package - Mexico (I drew them in the work sweepstake) England - QF
For the punters on here, the needy, or even the tight Jocks , there is a great chance to make some money on England v Italy this Saturday. It has got 0-0 written all over it. 6/1 widely available in all bookies You can also have a bet on 'no goalscorer', which means that if the match finishes 1-0 to either side with an own goal, you get paid. The Italian's are notoriously cagey in their opening game, and view a 0-0 in the same way that dick plumb welcomes a date with Kelly Brook England are simply painful going forwards. Get on, & thank me after
For me the best price of the tournament is Ivory Coast to top their group at 7/2. Uruguay -1 against Costa Rica 11/8 and -2 15/4 are ones I'm also looking at. Agree that Italy England is likely to be 0-0.
England at 28-1 to win the world cup... cheeky quid on that along with a quid for Germany to win... one of them will win surely
Reza scored yesterday in a friendly against Trinidad & T. (Probably meant as a cross). He is Charlton's fourth representative at World Cup Finals. Who were the previous three?
