I thought the "pub" one was for general WC chat, now it's become fantasy game specific and there's a new one here... slightly confused

Adrian Chiles already talking about how good looking Fabio Cannavaro is. Didn't we have to endure the same pish when they had Leonardo as guest pundit the last time?

I'm suspicious of that picture ball, are we sure it's not the ship from Flight of the Navigator?

Edgy 2-1 to the hosts...
ITV coverage fail #2, the score/clock box - large, intrusive and looks messy over certain backgrounds.

It is nicely different but too big and even then the actual score isn't that clear. The plug is too big basically.Tacalabala wrote:I like the score box, something a bit different.

Re: FISO's WC2014 Thread
Agree with murf, it's far too big and why not a black background so it's more easily seen.

Brazil will need to improve markedly to win. Wonder how much of an average performance is down to nerves/pressure?
Croatia are unlucky to be behind and with better refereeing wouldn't be imo

Neymar's 22, and already has as many goals for Brazil as Jairzinho and Ronaldinho managed in their entire careers...

While you're waiting for the wise one to answer, let me chime in...blahblah wrote:Oh wise one: should I dump the Brazilian defenders?
Any defence with David Luiz in it is a liability. Yes, he's technically very good and potentially a great player, but if he continues to gift the opposition chances, the best teams will capitalise and punish. Tonight's mistake is not the first we'll see. Also, how can you trust a defence with full backs like Marcelo and Alves? Two guys that wouldn't look out of place as wingers - it's not that they aren't decent at the back, but my feeling is that there's always the option of the counter attack down the flanks with these two rampaging forward. Julio Cesar didn't exactly look 100% comfortable tonight either.
On the contrary, Luiz is so attacking that he can easily pick up points going forward, as well as the full backs. I don't expect Mexico or Cameroon to give them much hassle in the other two games, so they might be worth keeping now.
It's a conundrum, right enough.

I'd like to see that boiled down to a percentage of goals per game in only competetive matches for a fairer comparison.forestfan wrote:Neymar's 22, and already has as many goals for Brazil as Jairzinho and Ronaldinho managed in their entire careers...
It's quite a stat, regardless.

Re: FISO's WC2014 Thread
To be fair my 6-year old lad said it would be 3-1. I went for 2-0 so no doubt he'll be saying he told me so after school. If only he were an octopus...Joe Kerr wrote:Obligatory to annoy the likes of TedbullJoe Kerr wrote:Predictions, lads?
I'm going 3-1 Brazil.
Wouldn't be too worried by Brazil's iffy performance - half the team were in tears after the national anthem so the emotion/pressure must have been huge. Agree they take chances at the back but I'd be more concerned by Hulk and Fred who did nothing in the game - if you're going to be attacking normally you need your attackers to be good and they can't just rely on Neymar and Oscar.
Interested to see the other contenders now - not totally convinced by any of them pre-tournament but have a feeling people might be writing off Spain a bit too readily.

Louis van Gaal's head is extraordinary. It must weigh as much as some of the Spanish players
