Deffo Mexico on that showing.

Serbia and Croatia looking very capable, winning without really getting going.

I'm not saying we are but we won't have a better opportunity to do well than this year with so many big guns looking either burnt out or devoid of ideas.

Iran. They'll provoke own goals all the way through and finally lift the trophy. This will lead to a major change in football tactics.

Croatia?!

They are playing really well and smashing Argies 3 -0 is no fluke.

Modric
Rakatic
Mandžukić
Brozovic
Perisic
Sabutic
Lovren

Unreal talent there! could make the final four.

I agree. Not sure we will win it, but I make you right, there is not much to fear. Mexico are a threat, looking forward to watching them again. Uruguay, for their formation, tactics and application and they don't concede goals, so they are a huge threat to anybody, Croatia, will go far, Germany will improve, Brazil, simply for being Brazil and.....Russia, who are one of the better teams

Yeah I said Croatia last week after they brushed Nigeria aside without really trying, they've got some real quality in their side and are proper grafters.
