Outside of Spain, no one poses a treat to the Dutch in their group

Really? All the mainstream sports media is calling it the Group of Death. Ghana has knocked the US team out of the last two World Cups. It's going to be pretty tough for the Men's National Team. @_@ |
No, just no...no, no, no, no NOOO !

Hmm... I'm not sure if I like all this... We tend to do better when we go as underdogs, not favorites. And in such a complicated group... We do have great players (mostly on the attack), but our problems are usually on the creation side, as a team. Italy is playing more on the offensive these days from what I've seen, but if they or England score us a goal and then close themselves well... They know Suárez and Cavani quite well, so I expect 2 strong defenses in those matches at least. Maybe we end up a tie with both... By the way, you guys have it quite rough, but you do have the team to surprise there. Your matches will be very interesting... Probably more open than ours, so careful with that defense ! |
Ive always thought the same about your creation problem, but I think Cavani and Suarez will probably get some chances that they will probably score them(Im not so sure about Cavani, everytime I see him play for Uruguay he seems invisible and not the same players he is in his club, not like Suarez).
Against Italy I think you just have to stop Pirlo and you take away 70% of their creation.
Speaking of us, Im pretty confident we can make good matches against Spain and Holland, if we somehow manage to "control" them with pressure hopefully we wont get many one-on-one situations where our defenders(except for Medel) would probably loose.
Bad thing is that both of them play the offensive-posession thing that we do and are not the traditional european stiff teams(Like England) that would fit us much more.
Anyway, after Chile, I will always support the rest of south americans, so good luck

How dare you :(
Qualifying from a group requires more then just good players, remember Germany made it to a final back in 2002 off an average team pulling together around Ballack despite going into the WC off a run of defeats to teams including the likes of Wales while then favourites Argentina and France both went out. The point being simply having a well known player is not a guarantee that they'll play well as national teams play vastly different then club sides. A lot of the predictions give me the impression of teams people want to go through rather then who can go through.
Group H is the easiest, C is close after.

Yeah... I was just watching the sports section of the news here and someone made a comment on how your group is more on the "technical" side while ours is more on the "physical" one. It will be quite difficult to take the ball from Spain if they're on their game though (it happened to us, not long ago...), so you might be forced to play more on the defensive side than you would want to. Holland is a bit more practical and frontal I believe, so you might end up sharing the ball with them.
Can't say I fully support the rest of South America here as you because... You know... Argentina and Brazil... >.< It's a love-hate relationship !
No issue with you guys though, so, good luck to you !
