I'm pulling for Columbia, they've got a young exciting team that breaks/attacks as well as anyone. They've got final four potential.

With Falcao, not without him...If they face Brazil it will be exciting but Yepes cant stop everyone

Im suspect to talk about J.Martinez (FC Porto)

But i think he is better than Guiterrez.

Martinez hasn't played well for the national team but anyone would have been better than Teo today. Besides the botched opportunities some awful passes leading to IC counter attacks and a really bad offside penalty. Plus Martinez plays with Quintero at Porto so there is some year around chemistry to consider

In game 3 Colombia should experiment with Bacca and Martinez. Way too much quality play from the midfield that could be wasted

I wish my whiteness didn't prevent me from dancing like the Colombians.

Another do or die match, winner gets 3 badly needed points.

Still think Columbia & Ivory Coast come out of this group regardless, but should be an interesting match.

Is Kagawa injured? Can't even start for Japan now

Japan are playing Okazaki as left winger. This cant end well.

On the flip side, Okazaki's opponent is Holebas. He is a hot candidate for "worst fullback of the tourney", and that is saying something.

If he plays left his opponent is Torosidis, not Holebas

Ah, ok. But after his flubbed match vs COL and his mediocre 1860 Munich stint, my opinion of Holebas is not too good.

Ferguson was just about figuring out.how to use him but then he retired and Moyes completely destroyed any confidence Kagawa had lol

Greece are the Stoke of this tournament.

Foye · Post #339 » by **Foye** » Thu Jun 19, 2014 10:31 pm

This Greek team is god damn horrible. They are making Japan look like FC Barcelona.

It's how they roll. They looked awful at Euro 2012 too but somehow made it out of the group. And they keep qualifying for tournaments. That's what consistency of core and tactical discipline can do for you.

Who advances from Group C?
