Group A (France, Mexico, South Africa, Uruguay)

Unbelievable

There's plenty of quality players there, it has to just be Domenech who's a clueless buffoon.

Every one of those players, pretty much, is a good or even brilliant player. How can they lose to China?

This on the back of a last min equaliser to draw with Tunisia.

I've said it already but I think they may struggle to get out of their group. I remember them needing a 95th minute winner against China in a friendly prior to the last World Cup. Mind you they didn't lose.

On a completely separate note, it sickens me to see you two with your Brazil and Ivory Coast flag avatars, and i'm sat here with ballsing Slovakia

Go Skrtel and Hamsik!

[Daffy Duck]

hahaha France bunch of tossers, how I ****in hate that team...

HAHAHAHAA look at China's goal at 0:40, the goalscorer refuses to be substituted and then scores from a free kick.

[-V-]

I've got Uruguay to win the group too with Mexico sneaking into 2nd.

Yeah Uruguay are good but Im not so sure about Mexico. They have really struggled the last few years. Whoever finishes 2nd behind Uruguay will qualify narrowly.

France are badly managed yet somehow they get to finals. Them and Italy play utter ****e and fluke their way through all the time

That was some bend he got on the freekick - my first instinct was that it deflected off the wall, but no. Brilliant swerve.

Javier Hernandez (Guadalajara) Soon to be a utd player. Great! I've got a scum player in my sweepstake team.

Truly spectacular freekick. I dunno If I've ever seen swerve like that one..

How can this thread have run so long without Shaggy's stock players not having been mentioned - Pete Jenkins (appears every 4 years in Shaggy's squads) and Kev Watson

[Shaggy]

[RedProf]

I'm just surprised that Pete Jenkins is still at Metz, I'd have thought he'd have moved on by now

[Shaggy]

Well remembered mate

[Matt]

haha so it seems France are actually ****e. Makes Ireland look even worse
