Argentina and Nigeria to qualify

Nigeria wont win a game

You wanna put your avatar where your mouth is?

Argentina and Korea for me

Most of them look like they're going to a wedding. Messi looks like he's off to his first job interview..

Maradona just cracks me up

Is the guy middle-right Maradona's bodyguard

Superb foto:

What's the name of this mafia family?

The guy on the right is built like a bouncer. Di Maria's head looks tiny.

Original photo though, a bit different that most of the ones you see.

What's the deal with this Pastore fella then? People are saying he could be the surprise player of the tournament, never seen him play myself bar the 50 minutes or so he got in the friendly a few days ago vs Canada

@ that image.

Who's the blondie oldie in the background, looks like a French senior citizen that got lost looking for his yacht on the South Coast

true

the guy is called Fernando Signorini and is a fitness trainer or whatever it's called in english.

Anyway, like an old friend of mine used to say...nothing more ridiculous than a football player in a suit

Also notice, Diego carries a watch on each wrist...like he usually does

WTF

What's that all about ?

Di Maria reminds me of this guy :

Who's the tiny emo kid 3rd from left in the middle row?

pastore i think

@kas

That's Javier Pastore, he plays for Palermo in Serie A

@Axe

One of the watches is supposed to tell the time of wherever his daughters are.

Ah, okay then it makes a little bit of sense

Pastore what a talent.

Greece and Argentina I think but I wouldn't be that suprised if Argies went out 1st round.

I wouldn't be surprised if they went out in the groups stages, nor if they reached the final.

Don't think Greece will do anything at all. Still look old and tired. This may be the best chance for Asia to have a team in the 16. South Korea are more of a team than Nigeria and should have far too much energy for Greece

Pastore

He has been one of the revelations of Serie A this season... he had a slow start, but Zampa kept hyping him up as the next kaka, and then in the 2nd half of teh season, Pastore justified the hype. He deserves that place in the argie squad, more than some other players.

Argentina clearly favorite, otherwise quite an even group:

Stll think Argentina and Nigeria will qualify. Nigeria have some good youngsters that won the world up - somthing 18 or 20 a few years ago. They should be ready to play in a bigger scale.

South Korea I have no idea how they will play. All I know are the Parks (Man utd and Monaco) and a few other players that play in Germany. Greece play an unatractive football and I hope they won't qualify from this group.

Ramford, what are they players to watch for Nigeria?
