Dutch Eagle Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Brazil became the first country to qualify for this event after their 3-0 win over Paraguay. Uruguay and Argentina could go in front of them if they win everything and Brazil loses everything, but as they will face eachother one of them will fail to qualify directly (#5 will play a play-off).

Polikastano Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Cant believe i will witness a World Cup without Italy in my lifetime. Man the first hand ball was so clear and the ref is looking right at it but no balls to call it. Edited November 14, 2017 by Polikastano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This excepts Europe where countries can be drawn in the same group but with a maximum of 2 European countries. Here are the pots with the FIFA-ranking behind each country: Pot 1: Russia (host, 65) , Germany (1), Brazil (2), Portugal (3), Argentina (4), Belgium (5), Poland (6), France (7). Pot 2: Spain (8), Peru (10), Switzerland (11), England (12), Colombia (13), Mexico (16), Uruguay (17), Croatia (18).

Polikastano Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Group B cant be considered a Group of Death. Portugal and Spain will coast through. I would say Group D or E instead will be more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgelaz Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Since Greece is eliminated, who are you rooting for World Cup? For me It's Serbia cause I have many Serb friends and have a bit of ancestry from there. Also a huge majority of their players play/played in the superleague. They're not real contenders though of course ? Not to mention they're one of the few or only balkan countries that's always been a friend and never a foe.

Ellada2004 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 It will be tough to watch without Greece there, that’s for sure. I will pull for Serbia and Russia our Orthodox brothers. Serbia have improved and done well in there qualification. I would root for Spain & Belgium. One thing that’s a given is that England will be out early , had they not been handed an easy draw they would have been out at the group stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean97 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I hope Argentina do well. They have a lot of attacking talent. I also like Serbia's team. They look good. Hopefully they can go far. I hope Germany don't win it. Only because teams like Brazil and Argentina play better football. I might be surprising if Portugal win. Ronaldo would have done it all.

J1078 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Honestly its so tough watching this tournament without Greece, just feeling those butterflies and all that excitements when they're in these tournaments.. I guess I don't really care who wins it but i tend to always go for the underdog in most matches.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played tonight and had to listen to teammates and opponent's talking after the game about there countries that are in the World Cup like Poland, Germany, Russia even Morroco and Iran. What makes it even worse is Greece missed the last Euro and now we have not seen our country play in a tournament since WCUP 2014, now we have to wait until 2020 and the way were going who knows. Just frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just frustrating. Missing the last 2 tournaments means that some of best players of this generation have missed out on the world stage in their prime. Sokratis being the best example and even Manolas will only get a chance of playing in the Euro at 28. Very sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
