2014 World Cup: Group E

[Goondal]

France 2-1-0 (+6) 7

Switzerland 2-0-1 (+1) 6

Ecuador 1-1-1 (EV) 4

Honduras 0-0-3 (-7) 0

 

Arguably the weakest group in the tournament, there are a lot of possibilities her.  Are the Swiss actually as good as their FIFA ranking suggests?  Can the French put things together and make a run?  How much will playing on their home continent help Ecuador?  Will Honduras be able to pull an upset like their fellow CONCACAF member Costa Rica?

 

While I am not expecting them to go too far, I do have Switzerland winning the group.  At that point they would likely have a very winnable game in the Round of 16 before going out to Germany in the quarters.  I have Ecuador edging France for second.  Regardless of who finishes second though I do not see them being much of a threat to Argentina in the Round of 16.

I like Ecuador and France to advance

[Goondal]

That prediction is certainly off to a good start...

 

Ecuador 1-0 Switzerland

[Goondal]

Well, that does it for half #1, Ecuador looking good

[Delhommey]

I am really liking the way Japan looks at this point. Up 1-0 and looking pretty decent in possession.

We're about to see if you are the kiss of death

You forgot to mention my Uruguay to the finals pick, haha.  After how successful I was four year ago maybe I am about to be equally as awful.  If so I am going to change my picks to have Portugal and Ghana coming out of G

Match is wide open right now. Fun to watch.

[Goondal]

Agreed, I am definitely enjoying this one

[Goondal]

Wow, you have to get a shot off there

[Goondal]

Hot damn, go Switzerland!!!
