View Full Version : 2018 World Cup Sweeps
I know it's still early, but I wanted to put feelers out for who would be interested in a World Cup Sweep?
I ran the last one, complete with an official draw (thanks to Pammy The Office Lady) and looking to do the same again..
Depending on how many we get interested, we can either have 16 of us with a high and low ranked team drawn for each, or just simply one team per person (if we even have that many members now that the plastics have calmed down :gent:)
From an quick search of the old threads, it looks like ToddG won the Honorary MFKS Brazilian Sweeps Cup. Pretty sure I purchased him a bourbon and coke at the tenzo for his efforts..
Similar sort of insanely valuable and generous prize for the winner..
According to the FIFA 2018 World Cup Seedings which led to the draw of groups (I know, its probably changed since Oct last year, but this is what we are going off if we don't get 32 people), it will be as follows:
Pot 1
Russia
Germany
Brazil
Portugal
Argentina
Belgium
Poland
France
Spain
Peru
Switzerland
England
Colombia
Mexico
Uruguay
Croatia
Pot 2
Denmark
Iceland
Costa Rica
Sweden
Tunisia
Egypt
senegal
Iran
Serbia
Nigeria
Australia
Japan
Morocco
Panama
South Korea
Saudi Arabia

Good old World Cup sweeps, where a good 26/32 people wondered why they bothered immediately after the draw lol
Too late now as it sounds like sour grapes, but I’d love to see it done in stages. The 16 people who make it out of the group all get drawn again for the remaining 16 teams, and a redraw happens after every knockout round. That way I could actually root for Peru to get out of the group and still have a chance of winning the thing. As it stands, I’ve got Buckley’s lol

As Australians, we never really care about winning the thing anyway. It's just never going to happen.
So really you're getting the actual world cup experience as it should be, rather than the farce that the guy who drew the inevitable winner would have experienced.
Really the entire point of the world cup is just waiting for England to be knocked out to watch the media implode/explode/sideplode as usual over there and be thankful that we are truly useless rather than only useless when it hits crunch time.

We still scored the same number goals, Etebo just got his directions wrong in the first half. They didn't even have the home kit on, they'll play with it this week and take care of those plucky Icelanders. Then just got to walk over Argentina and we're through. So easy.

Sorry Plague. Instead of enjoying watching your pam-enforced 2nd team waltz their way to the final, and inevitably lose, you've got to watch them go out at the first hurdle with no goals scored... and then suffer the indignity of PV4 and myself fighting it out in the final.
At least Leroy George didn't make it to the world cup, that's a positive isn't it?

In my defence it's hard to remember any Argentinian players other than Messi... Which should be interesting when he retires from International football next week. As well as Biglia, Banega, Mascherano, Di Maria, Aguero if you believe the papers.
Might not need to retire
That result last night has set it up for them
Beat Nigeria they be about certain to be through
I cant see the Iceland side beating Croatia
What though is though possibly an issue for us is France now have the ability to pick their Rd 16 opponent
If Argies come 2nd they would play Winner of Australia group
Maybe the French may prefer to play Croatia??
Easy to achieve
Come 2nd
Let the Danes win rest players focus ahead on Rd 16 v Croatia
Which of course would **** Australia over
Starting to ger intriguing

why would anyone wanna play Croatia based on current form?

Cros always the same
Likely to beat an Italy Brazil Argentina etc
Then throw it away against a Denmark Australia England type
I dont think the French would fear them
But I think they be more worried about Argentina than Croatia
Deschamps is a weak ****

Anyone who fears Argentina at this point needs to be instantly eliminated.
My fear is more that France & Denmark will still be 0-0 after 60 minutes and both teams will settle for that and run the clock out.

I'd be putting money on Argentina getting through and making the quarters. Even at their worst they are still one of the scariest teams left. They have enough tweaks left to get themselves back on track.

Are you saying that Argentina can't beat Nigeria? I know they are a shambles, but they still know how to play football underneath all this rubbish. My comment was basically not to write them off.

First game
They played a team who parked the bus and they found hard to break down
Just like France when Australia played them
V Croatia
They missed a couple in the first half
Gave the lead away when Caballero had a moment
Nearly equalised straight away but the Cro keeper got lucky
10 to go let another one in after a great strike from outside the box from Modric
Then imploded in injury time chasing the game to conceed another
Dont think for a minute that were not in that game the other morning
They were they got reamed for missing their chances
These guys deal with criticism on a scale our snow flakes cant fathom
They be back

At no point did I say Argentina can’t get out of their group. I simply said they shouldn’t be feared - this was in response to MFKS thinking France would try to avoid them and would rather play Croatia instead.

That doesn’t surprise me. Everything I’ve read on them, plus watching both their games is that they simply don’t know what they’re doing. They have zero cohesion, and it’s basically ‘kick it to Messi, and hope he can beat 2-3 players on the edge of the area and curl it in from there.’ Even their coach came out and said he can’t figure out to make them play together. Maybe playing Romero instead of Caballero would have been a good start, and that’s even before his **** up.
Their defense is a joke and bare minimum for a country with that much talent is that they should be vying with Croatia for top spot, not struggling to squeak through in a group with Iceland & Nigeria.

Argentina, France, Germany and Brazil all have the players that on their day, could win any/all of their group games 4-0 and nobody would blink an eyelid. They have multiple superstar players.
Meanwhile the teams with good ethic, tactics and heart are getting results like Russia, Sweden (probably deserved more), Nigeria, Iceland, Japan, and you could probably even add us in there with our performances against decent opposition.
That’s the beauty of the World Cup I guess, all these players from lesser nations are playing for pride.
What’s the saying? A champion team will beat a team of champions.

Croatia v Belgium would at least give us a new name on the trophy so to speak.
England vs France I have mixed feelings about. Not a fan of the French teams and their diving antics.. and so on. But on the other-hand it doesn't get much better than seeing England getting their hopes up and then folding under pressure.

Sorry about the slowness, have only just arrived back from OS and haven't checked the foz since..
(We did a side trip to Zagreb for the final, hoping Croatia would smash the Frogs.. It was something else. Absolutely mental atmosphere.. Pretty sure there were 500k SuperDylan's armed with flares, bungers and testtube shots..)
