You're a disgrace to us Greeks .... aren't you John Stamos?!
Algeria probably had more U21 french rep players"After watching the France vs Nigeria game I really felt sorry for the commentators having to pronounce those difficult African names
... then there was the Nigerian players."
Definitely on the French bandwagon, think they're a sneaky chance to take the whole thing.
The France v Germany quarter final on Sunday morning is going to be amazing viewing!!!
I'm liking Belgium. Love the way they go about it. If they had Benteke as well they'd be even better too.
I'd be stunned if they won too, but wouldn't put it past them also. They've scrapped their way to victory in almost every match and that's all that matters. Argentina had to scrap for it today as well against someone they should have beaten much earlier too. Should be a tense cracker.Belgium has a wonderful squad but despite making it through now to the final 8, I haven't been overly impressed with what they have managed to produce.
Sure they haven't lost a game thus far, and ultimately that's all that counts, but they've not been particularly convincing. Algeria 2-1, Russia 1-0, Korea 1-0, USA 2-1....not exactly inspiring victories.
They now face Argentina and I'll be stunned if they manage to overcome them.
Wait a minute (and i'm not having a go here), Greece are ranked 12? Holy s**t that's surprising. They're ahead of some very good sides.and as for Greece ...
I may be a bit harsh but I really still can't get over how people are lauding Greece's World Cup as a success.
Ranked #12 in the World, lost only one match in qualification yet everyone is making out they are a bunch of hacks that got lucky, reality is the talent pool is quite large and we should of gotten further with the squad we have. Then again, most have followed Greek football for about 5 mins.
Let's all applaud the fact that they couldn't beat a 'meh' Costa Rica side with 10 men for 56 mins, it wasn't brave, it was weak!
Fernando Santos today abandoned going back to Greece with the team instead going to Portugal and blamed the players for all the shortcomings. This man who hamstrung the side with inept tactics, ridiculous selections based on personal loyalties (FFS Katsouranis!) that clouded his judgement and the man who cannot take any blame possible. ie/ the selection of Gekas ahead of the likes of Athanasiadis, Karellis, etc just to name one
Thank god he is finished and won't be coach again.
Good luck Claudio Ranieri!
End Rant
Yep, the rankings are terrible. Portugal clearly aren't the 4th best side in the world. France are definitely better than the 17th best side in the world. The system is terrible.I don't take too much notice of those rankings, official as they may be.
Portugal as 4th best side in the world is absolutely laughable. Shouldn't be in the top 10.

Then substitute your goalkeeper for the penalty shootout, doesn't seem fair really.2 whole hours without scoring. Not sure how this became 'the world game'.
