Ivorians could even top this group!

Qwiss

I might put a fiver on Bony for the golden boot. 100-1 at the moment.

Irishgunner

Will he start over Drogba? Or do they play a front 2?

Just me that thinks Japan could trouble all three defences in this group?

Clrnc

Nope, I have high hopes for Japan as well but their defence needs more organisation. Greece is totally out of this group I reckon, it will be down to the other 3.

Segway

Falcao has now ruled himself out of the squad. Big blow for Colombia although their other strikers aren't half bad.

Irishgunner

Such a pity, he was back in light training 🙁

Proof

I can see Japan reaching the quarter-finals and knocking out one of England, Italy or Uruguay in the process.

Jed

Interested to see how Aurier gets on tonight.

Kel Varnsen

Looking forward to seeing Rodriguez and Cuadrado.

Kel Varnsen

Greek CBs look solid.

edit: That Manolas has pace and composure. Looks like a good cb.

😆 I picked him for my world cup fantasy team and he was a absolute bargain.

Kel Varnsen

Not impressed by Colombia so far.

Rex

Colombia play too much on chance in the final third, but they look dangerous with that mad pace they have in the front line. Greece look cumbersome.
