World Cup Draw

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I'm gonna put $20 on Chile to win the tournament. I always used to dark horse bet on Czech Republic. Dark horse betting is not sensible.

Last time we played they barely managed to steal a draw from us. If Bravo doesn't fuck up (like he always does in big games) I wouldn't be surprised if we win the group.

Although we will need to crush Australia 4-0 or something first, which won't be easy.

All the games in Group B will be tied, except for Australia - Spain.

 

[Bobby]

Costa Rica will win a game in that group.

 

[newbie original]

What I think will happen:

Brazil, Croatia
Spain, Holland
Colombia, Ivory Coast
Uruguay, England
France, Ecuador
Argentina, Bosnia
Germany, Ghana
Russia, Belgium

What I hope will happen:

Cameroon, Croatia
Chile, Holland
Ivory Coast, Greece
England, Costa Rica
Switzerland, Ecuador
Nigeria, Bosnia
Ghana, USA
Russia, Belgium

The Ghanians and Greeks will struggle to win a game.

Ivory Coast

Thank you very much for NOT saying Cote D'Ivoire.

The country's name was NEVER Cote D'Ivoire, in English. It was ALWAYS Ivory Coast.

Group B:
The Spanish were the first Europeans to reach Chile
The Dutch were the first Europeans to reach Australia

The Italians were the first Europeans to reach North America ----> Chrissie Columbo.
Christopher Columbus has an English name, yet he comes from Italy.
Chile is closer to the Netherlands than it is to Australia. Therefore, the Dutch decided to work harder and left their land to the English. They could have just reached Chile and stopped there and claimed it as their own.

The French name is official in all languages for diplomatic protocol since 1986. Language translations are just colloquial.

[yoyo913]

I see Belgium choking and their golden generation never getting it done.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I see Belgium choking and their golden generation never getting it done.

I could certainly see them choking, but that "golden generation" has until like 2022. Lukaku and Hazard, probably 2026.

 

[yoyo913]

I meant extending past this WC.

 

[Mus]

They need a manager

 

[Xaviesta]

 

[Dytza]

I don't get it.

 

[Sepak]

It's pretty evident.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Can't watch videos at work. Someone do a play by play.

 

[Xaviesta]

This is better

 

[jimorrizon]

its a possibility, but the draw is finale and has always been like that.

 

[CarlosDanger]

FIFA is not clean by any means, but people will read everything they do that way. It's their own fault, of course.
