The best thing Australia will do at this year's World Cup:

[derok]

[MaestroZidane]

Rafael Varane looks like he can pull it off.

 

[MaSsiVe]

My favourite is Pogbacca. Or Chewgba.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Sakho is scary.

 

[jimorrison]

@Mus/Shifty:

you think they'll top the group over Deschamps' France? over Pogba's France?!

I wouldn't say they'd get over but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if France implode (again), nor would I be surprised if they take advantage of Argentina's instability and hold onto it

Totally betting on France to implode. I also have zero faith in [The Ballon d'Or Runner Up]. While yes, "Pogba's France" is a scary thought, it's still [The Ballon d'Or Runner Up]'s France. And [The Ballon d'Or Runner Up] is garbage.

what say you, now?

By the way, Mirallas should be a starter ahead of Mertens, right?

I'd play one friendly before the World Cup, and it'd be at a training ground near where my first match took place.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Today Germany looked like a well-oiled machine in the 2nd half. Brazil on the other hand was betting booed by their fans. After Fred scored he recriminated the fans by celebrating with a hand to his ear as if saying "let me hear you boos again".

I have a feeling this will not end well for them.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

what say you, now?

I think they stand a better chance at advancing far into the tournament.

Is Reus out?

 

[Hisashi]

Partially torn ligament. Most likely he'll be out
