Uruguay

Got them in the sweep at work, Ha’way Uruguay

Peru decent shout i reckon. Sort of team that you've heard of none of players then find out they all play in good Europa league sides eg Sevilla.

Exactly

I know they weren't too impressive on Saturday, but I think Nigeria could do well.

Why.? They looked shit

 

[Uromastyx]

Some expert writers seem to think Nigeria are pretty strong all over. They need either Argentina or Croatia to fuck up to get out of group mind.

I think Argentina will go out in the groups. My girlfriend is Argentinian so she isn't too happy about my prediction.

Senegal will get to semis

Second in qualifying. Not a betting man but hoying a few cheeky quid on final appearance for em. Should easy get out of group even if its a fiddle.

Senegal could progress well.

But I'm going for a Brazil/Germany final. Got a fiver on it at 11to 1.
Fiver on Brazil to win it - 4 to 1 - the bookies aren't giving much away like

You do realise that one game of football doesn't render a team good/bad right?

Pics or it didn't happen

Is this the year for one of the African sides to reach the final because they seem to be getting closer as the finals pass so at some point it will happen unexpectedly.

No but they have been shite every time ive watched them so how does your theory work?

Totally agree, the 2 best sides by far and will contest the final if the route permits it?

Personally cant see it myself

If they both win their groups then they cant meet again until the final.... Convenient.

That's the way the cookie crumbles marra.

Me neither this time. Not looked at any African side & thought anywhere near as much threat as eg. Ivory Coast few years back with Toure, Drogba etc.

On the fact that they were decent in qualifying and I've probably seen them more times than you. Plus, your eyes are probably too engulfed in flab from consuming too much gravy to make a fair judgement.

South Korea

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Morocco are probably the best African side on paper but they’ve also got the toughest group

I see...nailed on for me ...odds ?

Agree with that, i just dont think tactically they will compete for along time yet
