Zatman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The current Brazil team is the worst I've seen. Has there been a worse one? their 2006 team was pretty bad, some top names on paper but either too old or no balance to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Brazil were good enough to win the Copa America in 2004 and 2007, so you might be clutching at straws with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Brazil were good enough to win the Copa America in 2004 and 2007, so you might be clutching at straws with that one. not really they were different teams. from team that played in 2004 only Adriano, Julio Cesar, Luisao, Cris (reserve keeper and defenders) and Juan was in world cup squad. and from 2007 victory except Robinho and Juan was only a few reserves from World Cup squad like MIneiro, Gilberto, Fred. they played great in them 2 tournaments but for World Cup added Kaka, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Juninho, Lucio and Dida and ruined their balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Roberto Baggio played in 3 world cups, but never played in a European Championship which I find pretty strange. Random fact of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The same is true of Rio Ferdinand. He missed Euro 2012 through injury, England failed to qualify for Euro 2008 and he 'forgot to piss in a bottle' before Euro 2004. He wasn't selected for Euro 2000 despite being in the World Cup 98 squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yeah he missed euro 2012 through 'injury'. I thought it was footballing reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 if like last few weeks he probably wouldnt have turned up if he was selected. petulant clearing in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Rio Ferdinand made his england debut in 1997. I was 11. Makes me feel old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I was born in the same year as Michael Owen and would have been in the same year at school as Rio Ferdinand. I got over the footballers making me feel old quite early in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Ukraine vs Montenegro on Friday. Will have a huge bearing on England's future. What is the best result for England? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I would have thought a draw but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 IMO the best Montenengro will do from the away games against Poland and England will be two draws, could easily lose one of them. Everyone bigging up Ukraine but they only drew away at an awful Moldova didn't they- I still think England will win the group tbh. Some interesting games this week. Japan-Australia, Aussies in big danger of even missing out on a play off place if they lose, not a huge shock to me when the average age of their team seems to be about 36. And Jamaica-Mexico 2am Wednesday morning. Loads of people tipping mexico to do well in 2014, need to quality first as they've drawn 3/3 so far including two 0-0s at the Azteca. I do think they'll win in Kingston though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Think everybody is bigging up Ukraine as they still have 2 games vs San Marino, battered away and also play England in Kiev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Japan vs Australia live on British Eurosport 2 tomorrow at 11:30 am. A draw would see Japan become the first team to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. Edited June 3, 2013 by TRS-T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even if Ukraine win both games vs San Marino, that'd only put them on what Montenegro are currently on. I really don't rate Ukraine and if England fail to pick up 4 points from the 2 games, that'd be an very disappointing return against them. I think it'll come down to the England v Montenegro game. A draw and I think they could probably win the group, otherwise we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I still think Poland arent out of it completely in your group. Dropped a few points but they have a game in hand and if win that they are 1 point behind England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
