2014 World Cup: Group D

Costa Rica 2-1-0 (+3) 7

Uruguay 2-0-1 (EV) 6

Italy 1-0-2 (-1) 3

England 0-1-2 (-2) 1

 

Like Group B, Group D is just as much of a Group of Death as Group G is.  As with B, it is easy to see who will finish fourth.  Next to Australia, Costa Rica is probably the most likely to leave Brazil without a point.  As is also the case with B, we have three teams here that are threats to at least reach the quarters.

 

I feel that England is going to finish a disappointing third behind the other two.  The big question in this group is obviously how much, if anything, Luis Suarez will be able to add.  Even so, I am taking Uruguay to finish first with Italy second.  Italy then beats Colombia before falling to the host in the quarters while I have Uruguay reaching the finals.

Ok, so I'm watching this game. And confused because this goalie was out of the box and didn't have the ball in his hands but was about to bend over. Can they not touch that hand using fug? Or at least charge him to keep his hands off the ball?

They won't stay there. I'd still be absolutely shocked if they qualified. Pretty much shut the door on Uruguay advancing.

 

I would be too shocked as well.  Uruguay is still in it if they beat England, which I expect to happen and Italy takes care of Costa Rica, which I also expect.  Then if England beats Costa Rica, which they should, Uruguay only needs a draw in the finale with Italy.  A lot of ifs, I know, but all certainly possible, particularly the first three.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.

      LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.

      So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
