Milfner Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Immobile has a hattrick and two assists for Italy in their final warm-up game after 60 minutes. Be hard to not to start him after tonight's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I'm in an awkward position. For me, Costa Rica are the most likeable team in that group so I want them to do well. On the other hand, I drew them in a sweepstake and we have a worst loser rule where I could win my entry money back if Costa Rica are mathematically the worst team so I kind of want them to get smashed too.

VillaChris Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Italy are having some bizarre warm up results, what sort of defence have they got out tonight as they've conceded 3 to Fluminense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at all the groups, it's likely that Cost Rica will end up as the worst. I hope they don't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I don't think Costa Rica will lose all three, wouldn't shock me if they get at least one draw which will cost one of the higher rated teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Watch out for Ciro Immobile. Been watching him for a few seasons now, very good striker. Really should start ahead of Balotelli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Suppose they could do a New Zealand and go unbeaten... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I think Australia will be the worst team in the whole world cup this time. As for Costa Rica, they are better than Mexico, but if Mexico were in the group, people would be more worried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Worth noting Italy always have a poor result in the group stages.. 2010 they drew 1-1 with New Zealand. 2006 they drew 1-1 with U.S.A 2002 they lost 2-1 to Croatia 1998...2-2 with Chile. 1994- lost 1-0 to Ireland. They stil; qualified from every group apart from 2010 but I dunno is it that out of the question they'd draw with Costa Rica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 If a draw with Chile and USA is a poor result then every country has a poor result in the group stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 If a draw with Chile and USA is a poor result then every country has a poor result in the group stage. To be fair it might have to do with what year. That 2006 US team, despite its ranking, was pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I have to say the hotel the England player's are staying in is very modest. I thought with all the money the FA had, they'd stay in somewhere a bit more upmarket. Great view though, if you ignore the favelas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 still think Italy and England will get through this group. If Uruguay play Lugano he could be a weak link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I am rooting for you England, but I think it's a coin toss who takes that 2nd place spot. I could see Suarez tearing apart England or I could see him being largely ineffective because of all the Liverpool players in the squad. Just don't underestimate costa rica. They have nothing to lose which is always scary to go against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Never liked Italy, too many pundits here almost always seem to support them even more than if Sweden is in. Don't like Suarez. So hope for England and Costa Rica in this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
