It's the smile/laugh and looks very natural that does it for me

Ah I see, I thought it was based on looks alone. The thing that stuck out from Euro 2012 was the amount of Glamour Models who were trying to get some screen time and get some attention. It was a bit of a dour point as it's always nice to see the Normal natural beauties in the crowd been picked out by the camera men.

It's still so weird to me how Spain have become this world powerhouse. All through my childhood there was a smell of England off them on the international stage! :pac: How things change.

It's amazing how many are writing them off right now. I'm going for Germany this world cup but Spain winning it again wouldn't surprise me.

Will there be a thread like their was for the Euro 2012?

It was called "Euro 2012 politically incorrect photos of hot girlies in the crowd"

Wonder will Russia bring their star of the Euro's with them

Russia should have had automatic qualification on this basis.

Average-Ro · 12-06-2014 09:33AM

A lot of people seem to be going for Germany to win this time round; am I the only one who sees 2 or 3 other teams finishing ahead/doing better than them?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them win it myself (I love the country) but I don't see them doing well enough to get to the final.

Aye. Utterly ridiculous.

I'm struggling to believe that this is less than 100% tested and secure. 2014, no excuse for Stadium Safety issues anymore.

Looper007 · 12-06-2014 09:35AM

I always love a good upset or a team that comes out of nowhere and sets the world cup alight.

Hopefully this world cup isn't as disappointing as the one in South Africa, a lot of poor games came out of that. I expect a few cautious 0-0's during the first and second round of games. But hopefully we can get a few top matches in the group stages.

No way Germany will power through them all, I think Spain and Brazil with the home crowd behind them might beat them. But they got a awesome squad, power and pace. I want them to win as they do play some wonderful football and it be nice for a European team to go to South America and win it

glued · 12-06-2014 09:40AM

I can't see Germany doing that well tbh. Reus is a massive loss and I think he is their best player. Gotze and Ozil have had a mixed bag of a season although Gotze was on the treatment table quite a bit. They have no striker of note and their defence has never impressed me over the past few years.

I think Muller like the last WC will be key to anything that Germany do.

This is basically what I was just about to type:)

Would LOVE for them to do well, but I don't see it happening.

ben.schlomo · 12-06-2014 09:45AM

Same as the two opinions above i just dont think Germany will have enough to do it this time, Reus is a massive loss. Cant see beyond one of Argentina, Brazil and Spain. Tiny e/w bet on France purely as their price is huge.

Germany won't win zilch with Loew at the helm. There's more optimism with Arsenal supporters for the NT than Germans mates I know.

Agree, not going to win it. But there still a safe bet for the Semis

Why is that? I know you follow German football so maybe you can explain why they don't like Low?

The Onion give a breakdown on their "Teams to Watch".

http://www.theonion.com/articles/world-cup-teams-to-watch,36253/#1

An Example of the type of insight to expect:

BRAZIL

Strength: As host country, team will play in the stadium least likely to collapse at any moment

Weaknesses: Only qualified for World Cup through back door as tournament hosts; Nation will probably fall into total anarchy regardless of team’s performance

Roster: Contains a record seven “Next Pele”s

World Cup History: Has never advanced past championship match in seven tries

Official Team Suffix: “-inho”

Can't wait to see Germany prove you doubters wrong. Just cause Reus is missing doesn't make them weak. They are a far stronger team then Brazil and Argentina.

Do you not think only one recognized striker and one inexperienced left back will hamper them though? Apparently some of their main players are carrying injury niggles too.

does anyone know of any bookies who pay-out on each way bets if teams reach the semis. Paddy Power only pay out if they reach the final.

There's a few good ones in fairness to them.

I want that job. Nobody pays me for being a plonk on boards, yet over on The Onion its not only mandatory, but monetarily encouraged.
