Lol - as if this pop gun attack gets a goal past Sweden!

I'm kinda kidding.

I'm stoked we made it to the Finals, but we seriously are in need of some striking power up front.

We could beat Uruguay with our history getting in their heads. Don't want Sweden, any other pot 3 is winnable

France

Not bad. We have to be good enough to get a result against the danes.

Peru we should beat. France is a probable loss.

Whatever fifa did to rejig the selection process definitely worked. Groups are pretty even. Group A is pretty weak.

Well f**k, could have been better or worse.

Forget about France.

Denmark will be tough, Eriksen will be the danger-man. I think their defence is their weak link, even though the conceded the least in groups, they didn't exactly play against attacking powerhouses.. We could possibly get something from this match if we get our attack right.

Peru won't be a push over either, but realistically our best shot at 3 points. An aging Farfán is their danger-man but they haven't been here in a while so they will be hungry and looking at us like food.
