World Cup 2014 General Discussion

[Dylan]

Talk about anything WC related here.

 

[wera]

Nice. So, no news out there right now, except that Bosnia already put out who is going to WC2014. Only 2 strikers, Ibišević and Džeko, and they both played every game in the qualifications, so if one of them gets injured, they are fucked.

4 Inter Brazilians not bad

How the hell is Julio Cesar on the team? Isn't he in the MLS?

Also please Hernanes have a beastly WC and get bought for 40-50 million euros. I am not a fan of him and would love him gone for 2-4x what we paid

Colombia gives its list May 12th of our initial 30

That's what I've been hearing. I don't love it.. as it's overproduced.

 

[Fitzy]

Looking at some of the names in these squad lists is getting me excited. Frothing at the gash, if you will. For me, there's nothing quite like a World Cup.

 

[crzdcolombian]

Relax guys Falcao is ready

 

[Il Divin Codino]

 

[I4E]

Is there a list of players that are going to the world cup as per club/league ?

Can anyone provide that list ? Eg Inter has X amount of players representing Croatia, Argentina etc. So on for other clubs.

I think you would have to wait until all 23-man squads have been finalized...

WC Winner gets 35 million dollars !!


How is that money broken up or does it depend on the federation?

Seems like a lot of money but I read that Falcao will lose out on 20 million dollars if he isn't on the Colombian WC squad for the NT. He has already lost 6 million as a couple of sponsors have dropped him.

If he making that much money. I think the money Rooney, Ronaldo, Messi are making must be out of this world

Confusing honestly.. you make a bold claim and then fall back on it?

Look he needs to give it to different countries. The only Countries in the Americans that can host it are Mexico(hosted 2x already) and the US(hosted it 6 WCs ago !!! should def not be allowed to get one that soon). We will see about Brazil but its looking really really bad. Only other countries Colombia if they share it with another country. Ecaudor doesn't really have the stadiums, Venezulea doesn't exist club wise and their NT sucks. Colombia doesn't have 13 cities to host this event. Only 2 stadiums are nice. Each big city has like 4 club teams in shit stadiums.

K who is next Argentina.... well they want it but will host with Uruguay. Could work. Tho their fans are 100x more violent then Colombian and Brazilian ones. What about Asia? China?

Not many countries can host it nor have the type of tourneys FIFA wants.

K now Europe fine a lot of the countries with big league can host but should the WC be

England - US - Germany - Mexico - Spain - Italy - BRazil - France - Repeat?

I don't want to see this.

I'd put Russia in here but we all saw how well they handled the Olympics

I did watch the 30 minute presentation that Qatar gave. I don't have issues with them being selected, but why is he admitting it's a mistake now?

I was against WC2014 from the start.
