Year Round The Football/Soccer Thread v3

[Hardy]

I don't dislike how they play nor find it boring... when they do it right, and in 2010 it clearly wasn't the case.

Wtv I'm not gonna repeat the same things I say every 2 months, there's no point in discussing it again.

Do it right?...sorry, I don't understand. Whatever.

It's ok, you'll understand me one day.

Is someone in the mood for some predictions?

Spoiler

Semifinals against England seemed cooler but meh

If the WC was a Hollywood movie (mostly Stallone's work):

Why is Vidal so underrated? He's one of the most consistent and best midfielders in Serie A,has been 3 seasons in a row. He's proving to be more important than Pirlo...I just find it so weird no one considers him one of the best. Wish to see him and Juve make it far in CL

 

[Hardy]

The press (at least here) actually calls him the best midfielder in the Serie A so I dunno what you're talking about

I don't think Brazil or Argentina will be in the final. There's my prediction.

Yeah..only there lol. You don't see anything about him anywhere else which is strange imo

 

[Hardy]

Imo Germany > Brazil, but the idea of winning a final in the Maracaná felt so good. Our side is the "easiest" if we manage to get 1st place, so until semifinals we shouldn't meet any super potency.

Well, IMO he's a better midfielder than Ribery (he is, no doubt, more important for his team) but he isn't in my top 3 (cause I value players like Zlatan or Suarez higher).

 

[kakashi919]

Oh yeah..I don't think he'll even make it to top 5. But definitely top ten,he can basically play everywhere lol

I don't know about Argentina and I don't care, but it would be awesome defeat the "hermanos" at Maracanã. XD
Regarding Brazil, players' life depend on this World Cup, they must win and they will do the necessary to do this. XD
Everyone knows that Brazil has as much potential as any other team and with our cheer... We do know how it will finish.

I have the feeling that you guys are underestimating the team five times champion of this tournament.

 

[Hardy]

Hey, they are my 3rd candidate (just behind Germany and us, if Messi is healthy that is), being closely followed by the Netherlands.

Honestly, I think the weather will be a huge factor in the WC and a team like Ecuador could be a surprise.

Saying Brazil won't win the World Cup is underestimating them to you?

 

[Leoat12]

Spain is not in your top 3? This surprises me, almost everybody was treating Spain like god months ago. What changed your mind? Confederation Cup? :P

I don't know if weather will be a huge factor, it has high temperatures sometimes, specially in the northeast, but it is resistible.

A bit, yeah. hahahahaha
We're passionate for soccer, the last WC here was 1950, probably everybody forgot about how it is play here under our cheer.

 

[Hardy]

I don't have Spain in my top 3 because they underp... ok, not gonna go there again

No, I don't. I don't find their playstyle effective, nor the way they play it, and their players are far from top form. I'd say that Chile right now is a bigger threat than them, so they might not even get into the top 16.

Imo Uruguayans and Argentinians can be more... "passionate".

Very bold opinion, but I agree with you. I've never seen anything extraordinary in Spain.

Are you sure? Why? XD

 

[Hardy]

Players and fans from our countries are closer to cannibals than yours, nothing else

What top country's fans aren't passionate for soccer? Obviously Brazil has an advantage by default, and they're in a good position to win, but you never know with these World Cups, too hard to predict.

 

[Imperium]

I think Argentina is going to win it, and messi is going to rape every team in his path winning everything and leaving a trail of brazilian tears in his path.

Now THAT would be fun.

 

[xi0]

That would be pretty damn hilarious, and would hopefully put these dumb debates to bed.

 

[Hardy]

My biggest concerns right now are his health and our defense (I've complained about the latter before and how Sabella has been doing some terrible calls, especially in the GKs and how he barely calls local players). I hope we'll have him in top form at the WC.
