Had to shorten the thread title it wouldn't allow me any further space LOL

My favourite group out the lot - 2 great teams and 1 team with great attacking potential.

Is it safe to rule Greece out already?

One of the hardest groups to pick. Falcao's fitness is crucial for Colombia, I am aware they have other good forwards but he really is a talisman for them and also top quality. I fancy Japan over Ivory Coast. For all of Ivory Coast's top players, they have a suspect defence and arguable the worst goalkeeper in the tournament. I think Japan's fitness and brilliant attacking style will shade it.

definitely, should be a cracker. One of the highlighs of the group stages. Two distinct styles and the winner should progress. What the world cup is all about

Are Colombia still expected to top this group even without Falcao in their 23 man squad?

50/50 between them and Greece imo.

I will try my very best to watch it though I couldn't make it through the 2nd half last night without falling asleep. Im going to dose up on red bull tonight. I think Colombia and Japan will progress from this group.

Can't see Japan doing it myself. Yaya + 10 players beats most teams these days. 2 proven goalscorers in the IC squad too.
