For those with greater knowledge than mine, who should I bet on? The old man says Belgium at 14s.

Germany and Brazil are monties to reach the semi finals. France and Spain will depend on whether they can keep their emotions in check. Argentina a bit like Spain and France. Belgium have the players but I just can’t see them reaching the final.
Australia not to score in open play isn’t a bad bet.

Germany all the way. They have the best squad in my opinion. But the world cup is full of knockout games where anything can happen. Brazil, France, Spain, Argentina and Belgium can all win. I will be in London for the semi finals and final and would love it if England were still alive (as unlikely as it is).
This is the time when every 4 years we all get to be soccer experts. Even I could have told you Germany and Brazil will be thereabouts. Another one is there will an African side that has a blistering inspirational run before being beaten by boring power side in a massive refereeing controversy.

only really semi-interested in soccer every 4 years.
I figure you can live in Lygon St. and still hate Carlton, and Ive never lived within 100km of Richmond in my life, so I'm going for Senegal in The Cup
- Risdon was putrid. he is not international standard.
- Rogic is miles away from the player he should be.
- Leckie seemed to take it easy and is no certain starter after Arzani's efforts.
- Mooy is a beast but is rubbish at set pieces.
- Milligan is solid 99% of the time but is prone to the occasional error.
- Kruse put in another solid effort but needs to improve his finishing.
- Luongo is beautiful to watch, but doesn't have the mongrel for a number 6.
- Jedinak is a mongrel but can't pass and is very slow.
- Behich is a gun but needs to cross more.
- Hoping Sainsbury's game was a one off.
- Cahill should not be anywhere near this squad and the cynic in me wonders if Caltex paid for his plane ticket.
But on the positive side...
- Arzani is a special player. Glad to see the diving has stopped. Big chance to start against France. MUST go to Europe after the world cup.
- Irvine is underrated and will see plenty of minutes.
- After Ange quit, I thought Ryan's spot was under threat, but he's miles ahead as number 1.
- BVM is a very good coach. and has a very good understanding of our players. Wish he was staying on.
- I didn't initially like the green kit but it looks brilliant on the pitch.

Good summary Ian. Some good signs after it was all doom and gloom at the end of Anges reign.
Arzani is the best talent to come along in a very long time perhaps since kewell. Can be anything this kid. Will be the youngest player at the world cup.
