Only two weeks now
For those that don't know who is in our group
Australia
France
Denmark
Peru
In my opinion the four big games in our group are …..
France v Australia
Denmark v Peru
Australia v Denmark
France v Peru
Our three games are the 16th June v France , 21st v Denmark ,27th June v Peru
If we made it through to the next stage July 1st in all likelihood Argentina
Game 1 , we have to take a point somehow , we might be able to beat Denmark , but we will struggle for a win v Peru
Game 2 , a draw would be a massive result , especially if we can steal a point of France
Game 3 , best chance for a win , looking like their best goal scorer Niklas Bendtner is out , if we can contain Eriksen we can get a win
Game 4 , France beating Peru is a must in all this
Obviously upsets happen , but this would be our best way of advancing
If we advance we will probably face Argentina .....and we will need a modern day miracle to beat them
All World Cup talk can obviously go here
Thoughts on a final / winner
Brazil v Spain ........Brazil to win 2-0 in normal time

I think Marshall_magic already discussed all this in the sokka thread..
P.S. England will choke..

I think we're a chance of getting out of group stage. Macca got a call up which is pleasing.
Leckie not missing a match is crucial, he is the only player capable of crossing.

Risdon has a decent cross on him too, I guess if we have Nabbout or McLaren up front it won't matter. Cahill and Juric are the only aerial threats in the side, apart from set pieces. I think we can take Peru. The Danes will be tough though, they have some class players.

I think they have a great squad on paper, yet rely too much on Messi. Without him they still have some incredible attacking options (Aguero, Higuian, Dybala, DI Maria), yet they couldn't buy a win when he wasn't there. I think the last 3 major tournaments they've been in ending in 3 heartbreaking losses will take its toll and they'll struggle here. I think they'll finish second in their group, but it wouldn't shock me if Iceland add them to their list of scalps and turf them out of the group. I think Group D is the most interesting out of the 8, anyone can advance from it.

I'm surprised everyone is righting off Peru
I won't be surprised if they get a result v France and finish top of the group , we are far more likely to get a win over Denmark than Peru
If you blokes are right about Peru we are at least a 50/50 chance of progressing , a far better chance than I would have given us
Look I wouldn't say we have a "group of death" as such but Argentina , Nigeria and Iceland is pretty tough , especially if Iceland's form holds up Croatia are a different story , wish we had drawn them :laughing:
