One of the worst teams in the Confederations Cup, outside of the epic game against Italy they were pretty poor the entire tournament.

If Costa Rica is the best in Concacaf, then USA and Mexico are pretty bad because Australia just beat Costa Rica and Australia is weak atm.

On Japan: They are entertaining and have some very good technical players, but their defence will get wrecked by the better teams.

they lost to Belarus and Serbia last month ffs. BELARUS !!!

their keeper n CBs are among the worst of all time. Won't get more than 2 points at the WC.

FIFA rankings Laughing

There is no Asian team better than them.

Costa Rica isn't the best side in CONCACAF no matter how you judge it, really.

by Motogp69 Fri Nov 22, 2013 2:26 am

I find the comment laughable, but Costa Rica will still do well in a tournament given that the bunker style is their plan A and they're quite good at it.

I don't know where to put this but if Brazil win the world cup..

Messi, and Sanchez would be the only ones in the Barcelona starting 11 who have not won the world cup..
Messi Sad

we will face france in group stages calling it here

(if we dont its Platini's fault)

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Dec 02, 2013 7:53 pm

Brazil will have by far the easiest group. You can count on it Ganso.

by Art Morte Mon Dec 02, 2013 7:55 pm

Didn't realize it's already this Friday. Brilliant news!

by sportsczy Mon Dec 02, 2013 8:00 pm

You know, with some of the meh seeds, France actually has a chance of a decent group. I thought it was a foregone conclusion that we would be in a group of death. But if we fall in with Columbia, Uruguay or Switzerland... it would be really tough, but not a miracle if we qualified. Heck, i think we're pretty even with Belgium tbh too.

All four teams are defensive, group of sleep. hmm

@tancredipalmeri:
Official: One european team will be drawn from european Pot at the beginning of the draw with one of South-American seeded

@tancredipalmeri:
If Italy would be draw at the beginning, potentially could be in a group with Bra/Arg - Ola/Eng/Por/Fra - Usa

FIFA changes its rules at the last second yet again Laughing

What a joke... good for France; but still such a joke ffs. How can they just do that?!

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Dec 03, 2013 6:12 pm

No that was always the rule. I don't think there's precedent of using FIFA ranking for that spot.

by Motogp69 Tue Dec 03, 2013 11:45 pm

Dear god

Either way, makes no difference, there will be 3 groups of death at least.
