2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[Spuuky]

I joined your league thing.

G - Benaglio
D - Yedlin, Guagua, Medel
M - Bradley, Heungmin, Hazard, Cuardrado
F - Neymar, Dzeko, Honda

I have one OK backup at every position.

[The Captain]

Starting Xi:

G: Julio Cesar (Best bet to play and the price is right)
D: Alba, Hummels, Vertonghen (3 Studs with teams poised to make deep runs)
M: Gerrard, Di Maria, Oscar, Vidal (4 players I think can rack up big assist numbers and maybe chip in with a goal or two)
F: Messi, Jackson, Mueller (3 players I expect to be the focal point of their team's attacks)

Let's kick the ball!

Take care all.

Can we please just give it to Italy already? I am on #teampirlo in lieu of #teampsychicoctopus

Depends if Pirlo still has his beard.

I hope we see a repeat of this in this World Cup, I can't stop laughing:

I'd be watching the World Cup today but Liam Plunkett has just been selected again for today's test against Sri Lanka and this just has to be seen

[Pike]

So who is the least likely to win? I want to know so I can root for them.

[Old Manus]

If you wanted to do that, you should have moved to Blighty with MILF rather than the other way around, so you could do that every four years.

As soon as I woke up today I was like "WORLD CUP HELLZ YEAH". Brazil to start things off at that, so Hype Level Over 9000 and then some.

In other news I can't believe how fast four years have flown by.

So who is the least likely to win? I want to know so I can root for them.

Maybe Iran?

[Spuuky]

There are a variety of teams that all share a 0% chance to win, so you have a lot to choose from.

[Psychotic]

Australia are the lowest ranked team and have three of the favourites in their group. It did have to be them I got in my work's World Cup sweepstake (I do have a second team but I got Aussie first) and as such my desk is now covered in cuddly kangaroos and a photoshop of the Australian team featuring my piss-taking colleague's faces instead of that knobhead Tim Cahill.

This opening ceremony is smurfing stupid.

[Madame Adequate]

lmao first goal of the tournament is an OG by the host

[Shauna]

Go Brazil!

[Dat Matt]

First goal of the competition. Way to go

[Psychotic]

Can you imagine how Marcelo must feel? Damn.
