FIFA World Cup 2014!!!

[Acidyo]

I'm really excited about the WC. I've been watching all the premier league games the last two years and even been in a fantasy football league with some friends. It's gonna be fun to know some players in every team and see how they play. Can't wait for it to start!

I am also big fan of this fantasy football my best achievement I was at number 7 in WilliamHill fantasy league in 2004 after this never near this now hope this year I have some good players in my team

Hehe, I managed to beat some friends who know a lot more than me about different players and squads. It was mostly luck probably but still felt nice.

That's too bad.

Ah man, Suarez is a doubt for the World Cup now. If he isn't fit for the tournament then that will surely damage the threat of Uruguay going forward, and thus their chances of getting out of the group. Mind, they still have a decent team.

Without Suarez Uruguay is still capable to show some good and exiting skills and they can progress in quarterfinal easily but hope Suarez will be ok until WC

Yeah they did well the last time around, and they have the added bonus of being closer to home with a climate that they know. It will be interesting to see how some of the European teams deal with the climate, notably the Northern European sides.

They did well the last time, because the Forlan - Suarez pair worked wonders. Without either of them, the Uruguay will be in very bad shape. I just hope that Suarez will be able to play in the World Cup.

I didn't think they'd get that far anyway. The whole team cant be based around ome player either.

But some time one player which is in super form have big impact on team win and loss and right now Suarez is going extra ordinary good Uruguay need him for good result

Definitely bad news for Uruguay. I thought they had a good chance of getting to the semis at least.

Will be an interesting World Cup that's for sure. I'm intrigued to see how Argentina will do. They have underachieved for quite sometime now, but there have been some real quality players coming through and with the tournament being hosted in their continent you might expect them to use that to their advantage.

Yes in this world cup they need to show some good skills and hope they will reach semis because one of most talented side and playing home climate is big advantage for them

I can't wait to see how England will do. Usually I would be expecting to see the same dinosaurs taking to the field, demonstrating the same caution, lack of skill, lack of confidence and lack of desire to win the game.

Now I am seeing a bunch of young players with a few experienced minds thrown in to tie it together. I'm hoping to see a more exciting England that is going with reduced expectations and high spirits.

They play three games in the build up to the World Cup, I really hope that we don't pick up any injuries, especially to the likes of Shaw, Lallana, Sturridge and Sterling.

This world cup will be a difficult one (in field and outside), Not sure if constructions and angry protesters would make go through smoothly. Brazil are the favorites IMO though.

Yeah the preparations have been a bit of a shambles really. I hope that the protests in Brazil don't hinder things too much. They are the hosts for the Olympics in 2016 too, that's also behind schedule with preparation... :/

it's futile to resist now, what's done is done..

enjoy the tourists and earn money on selling stuff to them + taxing it

Brazil might even brake even, perhaps not in taxes itself but in value earned by their people too

If South Africa can handle these things I hope Brazil can handle better and now they have some good opportunity for Olympics preparation also in their mind

Go Merica, I stand to win about 11,000.00 if they pull the upset of the year and win the whole thing.
