2014 World Cup: Group F


Goondal

Recommended Posts

Argentina 3-0-0 (+3) 9

Nigeria 1-1-1 (EV) 4

Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0-2 (EV) 3

Iran 0-1-2 (-3) 1


This group largely seems like a tune up for Argentina.  Throw in their Round of 16 match-up against Group E and there is not a team in the tournament that has an easier path to reach the quarters.  They still have to take care of business though but with all that talent and playing so close to home I do not foresee much of a problem.  The real question is who finishes second.

 

Bosnia-Herzegovina is making their World Cup debut this afternoon and they really could not have asked for a much better road out of the group stage.  The one downside is playing Argentina first, but if they can avoid ruining their goal differential in their first match they are in great shape.  Nigeria certainly could pose some issues for them but in the end I think Bosnia-Herzegovina gets out of their group in their maiden voyage.  It would not stun me if they beat the Group E winner to reach the quarters but I have them falling to the Swiss in the Round of 16.

I'm not sure how healthy Bosnia-Herzegovina is but they have several classy players. Most of their team is playing at some level in Europe. They shouldn't be viewed as a weak number second team in the group. Iran are most likely the punching bags and Nigeria looked undisciplined against team USA.

    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
    • He had the award until like the last 8 games. He sucked ass and flagg had 3 40 point games
