Brazil are not very good anymore and together with France got very lucky draws which will work in their favor. From there expect home advantage to propel Brazil all the way to the final but France who knows, they might run into Italy or Germany along the way.

Suarez plays for Uruguay.

I like Alexis. He struggles with confidence at Barca. I hope he plays well for Chile. I have them going through.

We're rooted!

It would have mattered what group we drew, it would have been the group of death.

He should, especially with Humberto not available. Barce is so loaded with talent, I doubt his lack of games should affect him that much - he's getting valuable exposure in training.

I am not into soccer at all !

But I'm glad to see you guys talking about Brazil and the world cup.
Brazil has got some big issues but I love this place.

Pretty sure that all the foreign that come to BR will have a great time !
Most of the cases I heard of foreigns getting into trouble were stupid people that went after drugs or prostitutes and then got robbed.

Come to Brazil, but know where are you going and what you are dealing with.


Regarding soccer:
If Brazil gets to the finals, it will be against spain.

I'm so pumped to watch the US. We are playing great right now and I seriously think we have a chance of getting out of the group.

[HFW003]

I can't imagine the States beating either Germany or Portugal but you never know!

[Exist]

Gotta believe! I'm so excited.

I definitely want to believe, but it's just a brutal draw for the US. I just want to see them compete hard. I just don't see a scenario that they get through. Trying to be realistic.
