The Truth

Agree in the first half, they were getting overrun constantly. Used their physicality more in the second half to get back into it.

Ahh, right. Aye, that didn't occur to me.
Still, Brazil is hot as fuck all the time.

Be interesting to see if he can still contribute meaningfully. Be a terrible waste of such a good squad if he can’t.Yes.
He should be banned tbf
Obviously he’s still a great finisher, but Bob Martins doesn’t have the cojones to drop him

Getting back to the OP, looks like there's a decent chance we could play them in the round of 32.
I've filled in a predictor this morning with 1-0s and 1-1s, and for all the group stage looks an absolute slog for the neutral, it does set up a pretty tasty looking last 16.

This. Ronaldo and more so Roberto Martinez for me will prevent Portugal from winning it this year. On paper though they look a very good team.
France or Spain for me as the winner. Dark horses for a good tournament could be Ivory Coast and Japan.

There's only 3 possible winners for me - Spain, France or Portugal. The last Semi Finalist will be England, Brazil or Argentina.
If you look at the depth of those 3, I don't get any kind of argument for anyone else.
"Dark Horses" as such will just be teams who might get to a QF that nobody necessarily expected such as Ecuador and Switzerland.

It's currently 18 degrees in Rio. A whole 1 degree warmer than Sunderland...Ahh, right. Aye, that didn't occur to me.

I was listing squad additions - replying to a comment that their squad isn't deep enough. I just threw in J Neves at the end as a sidepoint

The same as New York then...
What time is it though? It's only 16 degrees in Mexico City.

More chance of me taking Kate Beckingsdale out.

Don't take her to a Wednesday match, especially not on the kop, she had the right face on.
Thankfully I turned it around when I treated her to a Wetherspoons Eggs Benedict.

That was at 7.38 in the morning to be fair
