Bollox World Cup Thread

Group K - Portugal have the nucleus of PSG's Champs league winning team, they don't need CR7 and he'll be just a bit part player here.

Colombia are booked for 2nd, they'll score goals with Suarez and Diaz

Congo have an interesting sprinkling of talent and are fair at 11/10 to qualify

Uzbekistan have barely a single player who plays outside their domestic league, booked for last place and an early flight home.

and on to the 3 lions and after 60 years of hurt, still 3rd/4th favourites here which is mad.

another group where the oddsmakers have it exactly right.

Croatia could push England and I'll be cheering the legend that is Modric but England Croatia at slight odds on is the most likely option with Ghana's french based squad quite weak and Panama don't have any player of note.

Portugal to win my pick.

@goin4

 good call 

I like portugal at 8/1 and Netherlands at 20/1

It's great to see you posting for the World Cup mr_bollox and here's to a profitable tourney!      I think we can all agree with you that the FIFA rankings are crap, but what do you think of the ELO rankings?   ELO World Rankings | World Football Rankings

@Ushpa

 thanks mate, looks better than Fifa but England at 4?

football is an intangible sport, its difficult to assign ratings to be fair, possession means nothing if you don't do anything in the final 3rd and a 1-0 win won't get you to the top of ranking tables but that wins championships
