re sticky this, it's a world cup thread where all the discussion stays. then the fuckin mods get pissy when there's 11tybillion threads on the same shit.
i dont think it was cocky. a lot of people discarded croatia too easily. croatia probably played the best game from a losing team. i would say this was probably the most competitive match of the tournament. most of brazil's players played fine. it was just adriano and ronaldo who were worthless.
i think australia are capable of making it out. the group is pretty tight and the good thing is they have a +2 goal differential. that could come into play when the group tightens up.
