Standard casual fan. ITS MY OPINION IM NOT WRONG BECAUSE ITS AN OPINION.

[Noz]

So your right because your opinion is different then ours?

[Andrew3737]

Its not an opinion.... It really isn't. Something so blatantly obvious is not an opinion....

[Grazz]

It is a point where personal opinion on a players affectiveness or all round game is a very personal thing. People will have forever and a day reasons why they feel one is better than another because they see certain parts of a game as more critical than others.
There isn't always a right answer just as there isn't a wrong answer just opinions. Opinions are what run forums mate and its ok to agree to disagree and move on as this attitude keeps everyone on a friendly footing.

Andrew there are literally millions of people that think Ronaldo is best in the world and there are millions of people who think Messi is.

[Jay]

Ronaldo is taller than Messi, therefore he is better.

Argument is over :P

[Andrew3737]

Andrew there are literally millions of people that think Ronaldo is best in the world and there are millions of people who think Messi is.

And the people who actually watch the games still think and know Messi is the better player.

[Vinny]

Andrew there are literally millions of people that think Ronaldo is best in the world and there are millions of people who think Messi is.

And the people who actually watch the games still think and know Messi is the better player.

So pretty much only Messi fan boys like yourself watch football. Yep, genius right here.

[Noz]

Have you actually ever seen Ronaldo play at all?

[Andrew3737]

Again, I am a massive Ronaldo fan. I actually watch football, not highlights.

[Nige]

Ronaldo is taller than Messi, therefore he is better.

Argument is over :P

El Torito is the greatest wrestler in WWE today, your point is invalid.  :P

[tbagrocks]

 ^^^ OLE  ;D

Go away Andrew, you are wrong just face it ;D

Bored as hell since I work night and taking a week off Poker. Going to do a WC preview. Countdown from 15 to 1.

BOSNIA

My Power Ranking - 15

Likely Lineup



Key Player - Edin Dzeko

Other Players Miralem Pjanic, Zvjezdan Misimovic, Asmir Begovic

Just wanted to add in one from some of my blood. BIH are a good side, however, they always struggle vs decent teams, which is a worry. They have a fantasic engine in Salihovic and playmaking ability in Pjanic. They have 2 terrible core defenders and 2 decent fullbacks. Misimovic is good attacking, but liability when putting pressure and closing down. Dzeko is obv Dzeko.

My Prediction - Second round. I believe they have enough to get past Nigeria in that group.

[Andrew3737]

CROATIA

My Power Ranking - 14

Likely Lineup



Key Player - Luka Modric

Other Players - Ivan Rakitic, Mario Mandzukic, Dario Srna

One word describes Croatia. Inconsistent. They have a group of fantastic players, yet struggle against Scotland, but then put competitive match against Spain. Struggle vs North Korea, dominate but can't put away Italy. The way they move the ball is so smooth. However, if they do not have the ball for long periods of time ( which will happen vs the top teams), they will struggle. Just can't see them doing well in this competition, even though they have the caliber to do so.

My Prediction Second Round.

[Andrew3737]

ENGLAND

My Power Ranking - 13

Likely Lineup



Key Player - Wayne Rooney

Other Players - Daniel Sturridge, Jack Wilshere, Joe Hart

England had their chance in 10 but blew it. They were playing a 4-4-2 vs top teams and it just didn't work. They had all their players in their primes. It was a real shame. Now they are stuck where they have good players, but only 1 elite player. Using Rooney as the engine in everything going forward or defending, everything is truly up to him.

My Prediction Group Stage. I truly believe, that they won't make it out of their group.
