LondonLax Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Am I the only one who thinks Australia will draw with Chile?... yes? Oh, okay. I think we are actually targeting the Netherlands as our best hope of coming away with a point We actually have a surprisingly good record against the Dutch, I think most people are just hopeful we score a goal at the tournament though.

I couldn't resist betting on 'no goalscorer' to our top scorer for the tournament. I'd love for us to surprise everyone but I just can't see it happening.

Oh I suspect there will be an own goal in there at least, just like in '74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I think OG will be our top scorer too. I agree though that Holland is our best match up. That Spain match is the only one I am dreading. Edited June 12, 2014 by Ponky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 You do know Holman is nowhere near Brazil at the moment. My one glimmer of hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted June 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2014 - We have the lowest ranking of all the teams at the cup. - We are up against the world champions. - We are up against the runners up. - We have a patched up, inexperienced squad thanks to injuries. - We are not expected to score, let alone win. Yet I'm more confident of a result in this WC than the last. Underdogs? Written off? Suits us perfectly - that's when we usually produce our best stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Our best chance is to nick one early and then park the bus. We'll really struggle to get into scoring positions unless Tim Cahill goes into beast mode, and our defence is never far from being broken down. Too little talent, and too many injuries to the few talented players we have. I just hope we don't get totally embarrassed, although I could see Spain smashing us 7-0 or something.

PussEKatt Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I thought we did well against Croatia nand with Bresciano in midfield and a few more balls forward we could surprise. So no one is betting on Tim Cahill to score from a set piece then ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think Chile could upset one of the European teams. I think they will qualify and Holland go out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I am looking forward to tonight's Spain v Netherlands game. If it is a big test for both teams, it is a massive test for me. Can I make it to bedtime without doing some world-class moaning about one team or the other being robbed? Its a tough call and seems highly unlikely. At least I am hopeful because I go into the game as a neutral and I will have to wait for maybe twenty minutes before I pick a side to support and then get paranoid about. This will depend on whether the Netherlands try to kick Spain off the pitch, like last time, or whether Spain are as boring and over-indulgent as they often known to be. Whether Vlaar is a starter or not will be decisive. Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 On paper Spain v Netherlands is very exciting, but we all know what will happen: 90 minutes of keep ball and a few shots on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in the Brazillian climate is probably the most effective way to play football, have your opponent chase the ball for 90 minutes...
