There will definitely be some snub debating here. Martial is surprising, though JoMo certainly didn't help his cause.

That’s an odd ratio of midfielders/forwards. Even in a 433, they better hope the injury bug doesn’t infest their training camp.

Well, Groups is clearly winning the initial part of the World Cup thread poll, so I'll make those. Decide the knockout round thread decision later.
 
What about putting the numerous WC threads in a new World Cup forum?*

* - And no, not a sub forum, as those are hard to see and never get traffic.
 
Anyone know when ESPN or yahoo will be hosting world cup brackets?

When they do, we should have a forum one. Can’t do any worse than fantasy. Unless there’s something below last place?
 
I'm super surprised that Payet wasn't called up, unless the injury which forced him out of the EL final is worse than it seemed. Also, Koscielny went down (in a different EL match vs. Atleti), but he's old and maybe their defense doesn't need him?

Koscielny will be out for six months after surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon, so I'd say he can't do much for their defense.

What's the point with Italy and the US out i don't know who to root for . If Ronaldo wins for his Portugal I'll scream. This one is very uneventful
