World Cup 2014, and the road 2 go there...

[Chicog]

I am afraid they did and won 3-0 to turn it around. Croatia had a player sent off in the first half.

The big story of the night was a sensational hat trick by Ronaldo in Sweden. All 3 were goals of the highest quality. After putting Portugal ahead early in the 2nd half it looked all over but Sweden battled back to lead 2-1 with 15 minutes to go both by Ibrahimovic. Ronaldo settled Portugese nerves with an equalizer and then went on to complete his hatrick. A dazzling exhibition of speed of thought, movement, control and expert finishing. Wonderful to watch.. Surely he will win the Baloon D'or for this year.

I would have thought the story of the night was Spain losing to South Africa and proving that Sepp Blatter's anti-corruption countdown is working.

Hi,

I believe that the match Romania-Greece will finish as over2,5 today…The first match finished 3-1 for Greece..It’s sure that Romania want to achieve as soon as possible a goal..The match will open and i believe that the score of H/T will be 1-1 and the match will finish as over 2,5…And the odd of the over2,5 is 2.38!!!

So how much did you lose then?

Reports that FIFA are reviewing the 1pm k.o times in brazil (11pm) Thai time. Due to temperatures of 30.C +. If this happens I suspect many of the group games to be played around 7/8am. Nighttime kick off in Brazil.

Blue you have lost me on this one,not difficult i hear you say!

Are you saying the 1pm kick-offs will be at 11pm Thai time 100%

4pm.....3am!

5pm......4am

with the only decent times for us here being 7pm kick offs 6am

Not many late games on here http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/

I cant see them changing them till late evening there as it will be 1 am in Europe but better for us here although the 1pm kick-offs will be watchable at 11pm if left ....difficult one this for FIFA.

I'm really looking forward to Roy's new 2014 innovative take on a 4-4-2 system that we will be adopting in Brazil ...nice and flat with gaping spaces in the channels

When I last checked games brazil time were 1pm = 11pm Thai, 4pm = 3am Thai, 6pm = 5am Thai. With the exception of a 9pm ko in Manaus, northern brazil, so 11hr behind = 8am Thai.

The northern cities were moved to early kick offs as FIFA feared delays with heavy rain. Now FIFApro have backed moves to change this due to peak temperatures of 30.C +. I suspect these games could be moved to 9pm local kick offs

(8am thailand)Personally 11pm Thailand better for me. No final decision yet.

Things not going to plan. There may be a few changes before next summer.

Any info if there is live telecast for World Cup draw?

Thanks

[Chicog]

No sign of it on Thai TV (maybe the Bangkok Post has a listing) but it's on Astro Supersport 3.

Will be streamed all over the usual places I would imagine.

Fully expect us to win the group to be honest. Both England and Italy won't want to lose the first game, so will be a very cautious affair. Rooney and sturridge just as good as Suarez and Cavani on their day. Uruguay probably worst SA team here along with Ecuador. Japan 2nd round, only to be ko'd by holland in QF. You heard it here first!

We have got six months to sort Suarez out.

I hope not! i wouldn't wish anyone out of the World Cup ......... You must admit though he is carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders being the focal point of your team the sooner Sturridge is fit the better for him as he will struggle doing it all alone surely......you know stress and the modern day footballer!

Don't you remember when Beckham's metatarsal got nobbled by Duscher before a World Cup?

Sounded like you be hatching a plan involving a brown paper bag and a nasty tackle.

Yeah for sure it is a lot of weight to carry, you could see that previous to the arrival of Sturridge & Coutinho. I'm hoping for some supportive investment in January. Yes stress, poor bastads!

Barkley was quality vs arsenal last night. Marauding midfield runs, similar to an early Paul Gascoigne. IF he can keep that form up, he has to figure in Woy's starting line up.
