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.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
