That front 4 :drool:

I'd have Müller in there somewhere.

Rex

Me too. I like Fabian Johnson though; he has been really good at RB.

Biggus

Bah- Fuck you Clrnc!
I was going to make a thread about which team has impressed people the most in the context of exceeding expectations ala your Chile's your Colombia's your Mexico's your Costas Rica's your Algeria's your USA's......
And conversely who has stunk most despite expectation, your Spain's your Portugal's your Cote d'Ivoire's.

But we already have plenty of WC threads.....

Rex

Colombia has been a positive surprise for me. Thought they would struggle without Falcao, but somehow they have managed. 🙂

I tried to, I couldn't. Same with Benzema.

I think people dismissed Algeria, in the 70's & 80's they produced some great players playing in Europe, then they had an era of strictly homegrown policy, but this time they have core of French born and trained players and we're seeing how tough and confident they are.
They won't win it but they may be this years Bulgaria/Croatia/Sth Korea.

Just abandon the 4-2-3-1 and you're good to go; Müller and Robben on the flanks with Messi and Neymar up front. Rodriguez will have to sit this one out.

i love watching him play.

Rex

Plays for Hoffenheim. Could be a smart Sagna replacement.

Qwiss

I think I'd just leave Messi out. It's close because he's dragged Argentina through but Muller has been lethal.

cos it's a fan vote team as opposed to pundit selected one. Hence Kroos.
