Re: World Cup 2014
I don't get why no one rates Japan- they have a really good squad. I think it must be because no one understands the strength of the J league cause they keep their players in Japan from going to EPL, etc.

If you look at the FIFA rankings, group H is actually the easiest, followed by group F, and group G is the hardest, but obviously ranks aren't everything.

Personally I think they will make it out of the group with colombia. Greece is actually pretty shit from what ive seen in the group stage. They only managed to beat even the shittest of teams 1-0 on multiple occassions and had to go to the playoffs to advance(they had an easy opponent in romania i think?) No idea why greece is ranked 12th in the world

Do you guys think that the climate could play a big part in this tournament? Brazil is a huge country, stretching from the equator to 30th degree of latitude. This means that there will be a variety of conditions, making it hard for players to adapt. Do you think this could have a legitimate impact on some teams, or do you think that it wont make much of a difference?

Re: World Cup 2014
Abso-bloody-lutely. European players play all year except during their summer. They have barely any experience to climates above 30 degrees Celcius.
You deserve that state rank in geo as much as oblivious haha.

No chance for Australia
G should be interesting. Germany is going to make it out 98%. I think Ghana will make it out also. They are a dominant team and the return of stars such Michael Essien, they will be stronger than ever. Portugal only has Ronaldo who single handedly carried them through the qualifiers. United States though formidable will not be up to scratch imo.

Lol I know Nigeria is good, but it won't be easy for them. Anyways, Bosnia is ranked higher than Nigeria and Iran which suggests that their performances in the pasts have been better.
