    The original comment was referring to the participating teams and the level of competition that one would witness when watching them (a point you were fully aware of due to me naming some World Cup teams as goozi and you countering by calling Italy and Holland "complete and utter trash"). I'd rather watch Italy take on Holland rather than Panama take on Egypt. How about you?

      No game in the world cup will be easy, even against Panama or potentially New Zealand. Every team wants it like we do, and CQ will be sure to remind the players of this.

      That being said, there are certain teams we match with better than others. For example, I personally prefer Argentina or Russia as our top seed. Iran has problems against physically dominant teams like Sweden, Bosnia, etc.

      I hope one of our "top" seeds from pot 1 or 2 will be South American. We play best against teams that struggle against solid defense. Some would prefer croatia, but guys like Mandzukic and Perisic would cause us a lot of trouble, and that's not even including their world class midfield.

      People fear a team like Columbia based on their ranking, but who do they really have? An overhyped James Rodriguez, old man falcao and a fairly average Carlos Bacca? This team is the perfect team that will be beaten by our TM. It will essentially be Argentina again with a worse team quality overall, and no Messi.

      Ideal group will have Peru or Columbia as our second seed, and Russia or Argentina as our top seed. We match up against those teams well and can nick points from them. We do not match well against Poland, or other physically dominant teams. Lewandowski is the type of player that alone can cause us damage. Portugal is more preferable in my mind than Poland, as they are fairly shit if Ronaldo is kept under control. Seems to happen more often these days as he ages.

      First Seeds: Russia, Argentina, Portugal
      Second Seeds: Peru, Columbia
      Fourth Seeds: Panama, New Zealand

      With any combinations of these teams, we match up very well. The fourth seed is the most important in my mind. Nigeria, Morocco and Serbia are all teams that are physical and we don't match well with. A game with Morocco would be difficult as they are similar to us, and the result could be a toss up.

      Panama is our best match in the fourth seeds by far, even over New Zealand who plays a fairly good defensive game.

                  Its the easy teams we take for granted and underestimate.
                  Don't be amazed Aziz. That's the type of clueless fans they are.

                      Farfan scores for Peru.

                      Prediction is Peru 2 - New Zealand 0

                      Peru will qualify as the last team.

                        Peru is dominating this match. They will win.

                        But to ensure that they will qualify, they need to keep pressing and score a 2nd goal. New Zealand can go through with a 1-1 result (which is unlikely but anything can happen).

                        New Zealand almost scored from a header, but a beautiful save by Peruvian keeper.

                          My prediction came through so far.

                            Peru is the last team (out of 32) to qualify. They had a long road and they are qualifying after 36 years when they played Iran and won.

                            Peru welcome.

                                I so badly want Peru in our group to avenge that bitter loss from 1978.
