Regardless it's 22 days away. :D

USA - success is Altidore actually scoring, he's a big lump of horse sh1t with a p3nis for a brain

England - Success is getting out of the group AND were happy cos Suarez (the best player on the planet last year) is less than 50/50 for making the finals. BTW Milner isnt as bad as ppl think, he plays much better than most for the country. Sterling - well he'll prolly b a sub which tells u all u need 2 know about our ambitions.

MY PICK: Brazil - home advantage, support and an awesome side that even big Phil Scolari cant fk up. 

Top Eu side: France cos they have a real easy group and will at least get to the quarter finals

Dark horses:Ivory Coast (best of the africans)

Underdogs: Spain lol cos every1 says theyre finished. Idk the heat will play a big part so maybe Colombia (pity bout Falcao) Chile (looked well good when they beat us at wembley and have stacks of talent) or Belgium (awesome young stars maybe too soon for them and a pity bout Benteke though they have Lukaku).

I tried a few days ago but pc rebooted when afk so at least theyre 2 of us interested ..maybe that'll save yer from jumping

France are quality.. but I can't put them above Spain or Germany, especially with their young/old defenders. Also disappointed Ben Arfa wasn't selected, he and Ribery on the wings is easily my favorite duo on Fifa. But it'll definitely be Belgium and France as favorites in 2018, looking at their youngsters. 

Spain still are favorites, just not mine. I dont want them to win because I want to see excitement for another country. Especially having both the runner-ups and the champions of the CL.

And Cote D'ivore are the best from Africa but their stars are too old to keep up in this cup. Will have to live or die on set pieces. 

I just really don't know who will win honestly. It's open. Natural quality says Germany, history says Spain. Brazil or Argentina are the other two who have a chance to take this away from the Europeans. 

Argentina is the favorite in this tournament though 

Rooting for Germany of course, but their chances are not that good tbh. We didn't put up great performances in the practice matches and now our best (imo) field player Marco Reus can't play anymore, we will have a very tough time in the group phase already..

But it's really hard to predict anything here, so many good players and teams (and such bad referees until now hahaha)

Today was a defining moment

Code Orange above Spain.

That was pretty "Spainfull"

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Oh no.. its "Van Persie" 

Brazil have good chances to go real far, looking forward to their match vs. Mexico tomorrow. They have such a great team even though their 1st match was nothing too special.

Netherlands made things interesting, didn't really expect them to be that strong and only heard bad things before. One match is not everything, but high potential for sure !

Spain got rayped, but mostly because Holland did a great job taking their entire game apart. They still got potential to win this. As I said, one match is not everything. They are still one of the best teams and will probably step their game up for upcoming matches.

Italy played a solid match and have good chances to take it to quarter finals at least.

Argentinia is not too dangerous really, but they have an easy group.

And well, Portugal just got destroyed  the red card showed some players are just not fit to play world class matches, if you can't handle the stress in the first match then bye bye.

Besides having 11v10 advantage for most parts, Germany did a great job anyway. Much better than the qualifying and practice matches. Mueller is the sh1t !  If they keep it up they have great chances of reaching the final

& even though they are missing Reus I still think they can beat anybody. They really only need wing backs and a more athletic striker, but I guess we'll see how it turns out, anything can happen.

 

Also add me and play me on fifa 14(ps3) roky and disco are tired of losing to me. :-( : phhilln

Lookin forward to the last match of group phase ;) if the USA team plays like they just did, it will be tough for us to win or at least hold a tie..

The rest of the world doesnt really give a **** about American football. Latino's are too short LMAO who took the salsa out of your taco?

@ItsCanadasGame LMAO

Well the europeans on this site just called it hand egg, doesnt look like they are worried about filling a physical requirement. I love football , played it in high school and some of my best friends on that team come from latin families, moreover there were alot of great latin players that played in the NFL.

Just because you "get knocked the f*** down" (with lots n lots of protection on you) doesn't make the sport better. Nothing makes a sport better than the other.

Anyway, back on topic, I'm glad the US is putting in a good team for the world cup, makes things more interesting and has already brought some surprises.

BTW, Suarez is one crazy weirdo with the biting attacks. 

It's a shame Italy lost mostly due to bad referee decisions tho

I used to find Oranjes playstyle annoying as hell too, but they convinced me so far so that as changed haha

I'm actually glad it's them and not you guys haha, we can handle their style much better than yours (probably)

See you in the final 

If you can kick out Ghana and Portugal, it's kinda your sport.. Not your best, but still kinda good

in terms of skill inside of the team USA are easily part of the lower tier in the cup. Ghana, Portugal, Germany have 5+ champions league players at top clubs, USA have 1. to have performed this well in this group was really amazing\ but at the same time expected because the USA are always underdogs that can't be ***ed with. 

I enjoy playing soccer more but really, it's just what you prefer. shouldn't be arguing about sports

but being a fan of both, I would say -- American Football is a better sport for competitive play.

American football is just something that involves more emotions. Especially college football in which every game is a play off game for the top teams (well it was in the BCS era) 

The problem with soccer for me is the MONEY.  It's ridiculous how much the european clubs are dependent on money for their success. if a big club is doing terrible, the owner is being blamed for not spending money to buy more players instead of the players for their performance. also how a player cannot make his team his own, but is bought from a richer team and has to wait his turn to get into the team. in America there have been a lot of cases in which a team was built around one player, or got better after a player's arrival. in Europe it's always the same damn teams. 

but. I hope soccer gets bigger in America.  only because I want our country to the best at another thing ppl care about ;-)

i felt so bad LOL

Still gonna beat France on Friday tho hehe

I think so as well, never enjoyed every match like in this one !

EDIT But we do stand better chances than other matches like vs Brazil.. We can handle european styles much better !

And we can only hope our trainer doesn't fk up again, last line-up was horrible. 2 inner defenders on the outer positions wow..

Still a good game, they kept France away all match even though they fought real hard, respect for that.

Our trainer made the right choices this time, real good defense work today. And Manuel Neuer is still the best keeper in the world, period !

Seriously though, ppl will complain it's Colombias fault cause they took out Neymar.. In the end, we tore apart Brazils defense, nothing to do with him.

I don't know how ppl couldn't see that Germany were going to dominate this cup. It's like Bayern Munich minus speed + khedira. and they don't have to go against teams that have gods from different countries like ronaldo and ramos (and bale I guess) If germany don't win it'll be a huge disappointment 

+ Sorry for doubting the Netherlands. :-( I didn't know Spain would be such a big disappointment in this cup

No way I can picture them world champions, Holland would've deserved that but not Argentinia..

And 3rd place ?
