AVFCforever1991 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Think France and Ecuador to qualify. Despite the Swiss having better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I think so. I'd be surprised if they didn't. Very strong midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I think so. I'd be surprised if they didn't. Very strong midfield What do you think, 2-1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ecuador finished above Uruguay in qualifying... They have a pretty good shot. Given how Uruguay performed yesterday that's no great achievement. I'm surprised at how generally weak the South American teams have looked so far, the better sides have all been European (Holland, Italy, England). Brazil had a little something, but then don't they always. They generally lacked organisation (don't they always) and I don't think they've enough to get away with it.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hmmm...I was disappointed with Colombia. They wore Greece down eventually, but Greece are truly awful. Potentially the worst team in the competition and I think Colombia were flattered by the scoreline in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 To be fair Greece are difficult to look good against, to beat them 3-0 isn't easy. If Colombia had Falcao then I'd say they could go to the quarters many semis, but I'm not sure they have a quality forward to get them the goals against good teams, on top of that they aren't that good defensively, with Yepes being an absolute liability.

maqroll Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Probably the best match day to spend on the road...hopefully I get home in time to see the 2nd half of the Arg Bos match, otherwise not too fussed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colombia will struggle against better sides defensively. Greece should've scored 2 and had a penalty and they're probably the worst team at the World Cup going forward.

Czechlad Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I've got France and Switzerland advancing from this group. Maybe we will see Honduras surprise France today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ecuador have little to offer, I can't see them getting out of the group. They finished higher than Uruguay, but a large part of the reason they qualified is the ridiculous altitude that they play their home games at, which opposition players struggle with. They only got 3 points from their 8 away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hahahahahaha Senderos is in the game espn game description on the channel guide. "Philippe Senderos and Gokhan Inler anchor the Swiss returnees from a 1-0 upset of eventual-champion Spain in it's World Cup 2010 opener. Manchester Uniteds antonio valencia keys ecuador in it's third World Cup." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Should be a tight game but I'm looking forward to it. Too much attacking so far, I want a tactical battle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Don't know what to expect but that Swiss team look good. Have never seen Drmic so that will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
