raw10 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I know this is years away, but seeing FIFA just revealed the official logo for this event, I would post it here to be shared. Also, we can get use this thread leading up to the World Cup. Edited November 4, 2014 by raw10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Once again being a pessimistic cunt but I actually think there's a strong possibility we won't qualify, the rest of Asia is getting better and we're on the decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellenic Hero Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 For some reason I'm ridiculously pumped about this, what are our early predictions? Can't wait for those late-night sessions watching the games with the old man in front of the fire, brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their current crop of players there really is no excuses. They have elite to world class players in just about every position now, hopefully they don't underwhelm like they did at the Euro's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartFc Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Poland being 6th in the FIFA world rankings will probably mean a POT A seeding. Looks like a huge opportunity with lots of strong teams missing out. Europe: Netherlands, Czech Rep, Wales (hopefully the few more after the playoffs) Africa: Ivory Coast CONACRAP: USA Asia: Australia* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are currently shit. They have been replaced by higher quality and Poland is up there with a great current group of players but judging teams on past histories is dangerous. Being seeded is a big advantage but you have to earn it. It's an interesting time in the game at the national level as several traditional powers are struggling in paticular Netherlands Argentina and to a lesser degree USA.

Nate Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'd say Chile not qualifying is the biggest surprise honestly, they've won the last two Copa Americas, finished runner-up at the Confederations Cup and still have a squad stacked with stars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartFc Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Ye I was meaning to pop Chile is there. Thats huge. South America looks really weak this time around. Argentina don't play as a team. Uruguay are beatable despite their beast strike force. Columbia are ok. Peru are shit. Only Brazil look good. Germany/Belgium/Spain will have a field day this world up. Iceland the dark horses again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXJawsaXx Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Even the traditionally strong Asian teams are pretty shit this time around. This is probably the worst Japan side I've seen in a while, South Korea almost didn't qualify directly, and then there's us, if we qualify. The strongest Asian team is definitely Iran, and they probably have the best chance of advancing from the group stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along time until the Word Cup starts and alot can happen. Germany definitely are in a good space but there a several others that will have a say. Brazil and Spain and then some outsiders like Belgium Poland and you can't ignore individual like Messis Argentina or Ronaldos Portugal. I'm hoping for a Balkan resurgence and hopefully Serbia and Croatia can get out of the group stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hopefully Ange doesn't make wholesale changes like the Syria game. Leckie in for Risdon is the only change I'd make. But I can see him finding a space for Milligan despite his poor recent performances and ability to hit every ball that comes to him outside the box into Row Z.
