Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #1 – May 22, 2014, 03:27:40 pm Waiting for someone to do one of these.Aussies look in dire straights.Greeks have a decent chance of progressing with Colombia, Japan and Ivory Coast.Some amazing groups, Italy/England/Uruguay and can't believe Portugal plays Germany in their first game. To top it all off I go on 12 weeks paid paternity leave from June 10! Bring it on baby!! Quote Selected
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #2 – May 22, 2014, 04:22:28 pm Aussies will most likely struggle, but think most fans not expecting much seeing as though such a young squad. Should have played the kids 4 years ago. I like Ange's mantra though, so i twill be interesting to see them play against football powerhouses. Quote Selected

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #5 – May 22, 2014, 04:47:23 pm Yep, thats the one carrots.Not feeling great about my teams prospects at this one.Portugal best chance as always (the wife is portugese). Aussies will be surprisingly better than expected but wont do much, and im anticipating a Greek default... Quote Selected
Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #6 – May 22, 2014, 04:57:32 pm Haha funny I'm a big Ronaldo fan so I too will be following Portugal once the Greeks get knocked out!I'm trying to stay positive about Greece, the beauty about Greek football is we will know after 10 minutes how we will fare in the tournament.

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #9 – May 22, 2014, 05:29:52 pm Well I work at GE. They offer it provided I become the primary carer of my youngest prior to him turning one year old. So since my wife is going back to work on June 10 I'm a collecting baby! Yeah! Giddyup! Not going to be easy with two kids but far from the daily pain in the ass that is work. Quote Selected

After a couple of days looking after them i look forward to work!You must have a better job than me! TBH it's a great chance to bond with my youngest who I haven't spent too much time with so with the World Cup it's good times for 12 weeks. Still can't get over some of these first up games. England vs Italy. Portugal vs Germany. Spain vs Netherlands. FFS. This is like some epic dream. Quote Selected

Re: 2014 World Cup. Reply #13 – May 22, 2014, 07:57:06 pm Probably one of the most wide open world cups I can remember even though ive only been alive for 6 or 7 and thus should be very entertaining. For mine there is no clear cut favourite this time despite what anyone says. There is nothing like the World Cup frenzy every 4 years cant wait! Quote Selected
