i honestly think everyone's making a mistake going for messi, messi's never really got going for his national team and with argentina in the form they are in i don't see messi being in great form this world cup either

Doubt it. They have too much quality up front to not score goals.

In any case, he scored 6 and got 4 assists in qualifiers.

The thing with Messi is that he has the potential to just explode and we've seen this season he has the potential to score a fucking shit load of goals. He's got Veron in the midfield serving him which helps.

Just imagine how much better his service would be with Riquelme

I've just got a feeling Messi will dominate this tournament. It wouldn't surprise me to see Argentina go very far.

i guess, and argentina seem to me that they're actually hitting form at the right time

edit: that's a bit stupid saying that when i just said the opposite but what i mean is they're coming off a bad qualification campaign and theyre starting to come good again

Argentina's biggest problem is Maradona. If they can get it together for the tournament they have a team that can win it tbh.

Just joined - obvious who I am.

Went for the all-rounders team, with a decent bench, too - why can't we play a 2-6-3, dammit?!?!

Playing a 3-4-3:

Stekelenburg
Agger - Marquez - Chiellini
Sneijder - Di Maria - Guardado - Iniesta
Villa - Luis Fabiano - Humberto Suazo

Bench:
Howard
Neill
Winston Reid
Marek Hamsik

=d> that's a great midfield scouse, btw i'd play howard in front of stekelenberg but that's just me

Netherlands have an easier group than USA so that's why Steklenberg would win over Howard:lol:

Imno speaks the truth. :d

I was going to put Di Maria in, but he didn't play any of the quals so I doubt he will start...

he will start

I wasn't aware you could tell the future.

Signed up and made a team.

4-4-2


--------Bendtner - Fabiano---------
Gerrard - Cahill - Xavi - Palacios
Alves - Samuel - Chiellini - Pique
-------------Romero----------------

Quick note:

Maicon will be starting ahead of Alves. Unlikely that Alves will play, as he isn't a natural left back. Read about it in 442 actually :lol:

Just a note, keep him if you like, he may start. :)

There's also a slim chance that Alves might play in the midfield. Wouldn't surprise me if he did just to fit him in.

Yeah they've done it in qualifying, but I wouldn't think so. First game is against N.Korea though, they might be willing to take a few risks :lol:

The best thing about Alves is that you can play him basically anywhere except keeper.:lol:

i reckon there's a fair chance of alves starting in the midfield, after all brazil don't have that much in the way of attacking midfielders down the right except for maybe ramires. personally i'd like to see him play there

In :) starting point team (not at all happy with it)

Fabiano - Rooney - Zigic

Kuyt - Baptista - Cahill - Holman

Boulahrouz - Zambrotta - Arbeloa

Julio César

Gomez
Bertos
Schwarzer

Too much talent on your bench imo.

Your reserves dont get you any points unless one of the players doesnt play.

Look at your three strikers. Pretty confident all three of them will start every game.

Get rid of Gomez and get a cheaper reserve striker, who will still get app. points if one of your forwards misses out through injury

Use the extra 2-3 points to get rid of Holman and get a higher quality midfielder.

Why would you tell one of your rivals how to pick a better team?

I will join this some time next week now that the final squads have been announced.

Cause even if he makes those changes my team is still better. :P 8-[

It's just a game - It's not like there is some epic prize for winning.

How's that for arrogance :p

I am confident that imno knows more about the players overall, I think I still beat him in the EPL fantasy comp though :-k

I am pretty happy with being able to pick up Schwarzer and Bertos so damn cheap, so will look into the cheap strikers for one who may surprise and get a Mexican midfielder to replace Holman.
