Sorry for the delays with the OT. Wanted the final squads to be released before I made the thread. That, and gathering them took a lot of time. I'll be updating this OP with the games + times in Pakistan time. I think the title will be edited each day too.

In the World Cup you wanna see the best players play. Some of the injuries that've occurred these past weeks/months have taken some shine off this WC, tbh.
Conditions will favour South American teams, but I can't see past Spain when it comes to European teams.

P.s. [MENTION=25983]AbbY[/MENTION], how about adding a prediction poll?

How about a prediction thread instead. Like the kind we had for EPL 2 seasons ago?

I think we Shuld do it in knockout phases , it will be easier to post and count the results

Ribery's ouster is a huge blow. Not that the World Cup has any quality football on display but it's always nice to see star individual players perform.

Falcao and Nasri are two notable omissions as well.

That's a good idea. I'm in.

Good idea, though I doubt that thread will see much activity. I was asking for one poll for the WC winner, instead of the match-by-match basis of the EPL.

On topic, Reus may be out of the WC as well. Got injured last night in friendly.

Ottoman · Jun 7, 2014

Instead of a prediction poll, how about we have one that reads, "Which Team are you supporting?".

From where i can get locally germany shirt ??

btw, im germany fan =D :hah::$

If France were going to win one match this time, they won't win even that.

That's really sad, though. France wouldn't have made it here without Ribery.

And Nasri didn't deserve to be in the squad, tbh.

What do you guys think of Belgium? They have a more than decent team this time in Januzaj, Vermaelan, Lukaku, Fellaini and Hazard amongst others.

Experts are calling them this tournament's "Dark Horses".

Belgium has a great squad. I hope they get to the quarter finals. What do you guys think of argentina?

Potential winners. And Belgium can truly be the WC's Atletico or BVB

You really think they can pull that off? Their defence aint the best.

Belgium is good but they lack experience playing together @ national level.
I think Columbia will surprise quite a few people in this tournament, even without their talisman Falcao.
& Germany is best team for me in this tournament.

they have conceded just 15 goals in 16 games and are on their way to topping South America’s World Cup qualifying group, they have four consecutive clean sheets in exhibition matches against Ecuador, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania and Trinidad and Tobago........

too bad reus got injured. He's a damn fine player !

Argentina choked in an epic fashion to a far more organized German team in the previous edition. Not that the past really matters in the present but I'm not touting them for the trophy till the very last game. They have a history of faltering at the knockout hurdle.

Brazil demolished Spain in the Confederations Cup final last year. Add home advantage and you've got your hot favourites.

German FTW

Courtois, Kompany, van Buyten, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Hazard, Januzaj, de Bruyne, Fellaini, Mirallas, Lukaku etc. Quite a squad although I don't expect a lot from them due to a lack of team chemistry. Big hopes everywhere from the Germany squad though I reckon they'll choke again. Feel sorry for Germany and France with 2 key players of their teams missing out due to injury.

I'm expecting Brazil to bag the trophy this time. Germany to choke semi's-ish. Just no more Spain please. Sick of them winning everything year after year.
