FIFA World Cup 2014

ALTEREGO : has shown real staying power and has led from day 1.

After the weekend it will become clearer. I hope not as it would be great if it went right up to the final. Alterego Super Red and the Fantasy have been brilliant so far but Naresh looks like he can take it. Gregbucks has come up quickly also. Len Sham has been stuck on 16 points for about 6 matches now so he must surely start picking up again.Mac is the quiet one just sitting there picking up his points. He can also win Maybe one of the guys in the middle of the table can make giant strides over the weekend. Its fantastic that most of the guys have stuck with it.(tu)

What a load of bollocks..
Wayne Rooney is with Steven Gerrard,two of the most overrated players England have produced.

Dave is this the poorest England side you can remember?

I can't name one England player that is world class..
Roy Hodgson left he's best centre back and best left back in England,last night the four players that were ineffective where our two centre backs and two central midfielders..

I disagree Dave, because they have not achieved World Cup success doesn't make them overrated. Both have been stalwarts at club level over the years.

It's a team game Dave. At this level you can't expect one or two individuals to do the impossible on their own. If Portugal (Ronaldo) and Argentina (Messi) get dumped out in the next round, would you class them as overrated as well, they have as many World Cup winners medals as both Rooney and Gerrard.

At this stage Costa Rica have to be the surprise team of the World Cup so far and France the most improved from the last World Cup. Germany look good as well and its difficult to see who will make the semis now let alone who will win it.

hope for things to get Messi

Group A Brazil and Mexico/Croatia
Group B Chile and Netherlands
Group C Columbia and Ivory Coast
Group D Costa Rica and Uruguay
Group E France and Ecuador
Group F Argentina and Nigeria
Group G Germany and USA/Portugal
Group H Russia/Korea/Belgium/Algeria

8 of the final 16 will be South American
4 from Europe
2 from Africa
1 from Asia
1 from North America
