And anyone who's watched him play for Spurs this season.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Bit of a joke Bernard has been taken but I guess he offers something different to others not selected.

That Brazil team is something else (on paper).

Poor Australia

 

[kr1978]

Poor Australia

Doesn't look too promising for them does it

 

[Lufti]

That Brazil team is something else (on paper).

I think it looks pretty tame to be honest. All the midfielders are of the same ilk and aside from Neymar who's vastly overrated they lack any real attacking flair. Didn't think they'd win before the team was announced and I definitely don't now.

I think England will finish above Uruguay actually. Cavani doesn't seem to play well for them and aside from Suarez their squad really isn't that good - looks like an ageing squad to me
