    This seems an interesting group. Saudi will be the whipping boys, but the top two spots are up for grabs for the remaining three sides. Argentina are being touted as favourites, but their squad looks pretty average to me. Argentina will probably win the group, but they'll be pushed hard by Mexico and Poland.

    Mexico will probably fight the hardest to win the group, but not much can get past Messi. Saudi Arabias kits look really nice!

    Lewandowski will score about 5 goals but Poland will still end up 3rd.
    Prediction: Argentina, Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia

    I think the Saudis will have a chance here, local boys, lots of support, can see them coming in the top two..

    Argentina and Poland IMO to finish 1st and 2nd respectively.

    Don't Poland almost always flop at major tournaments?

    Think they've gone out at the group stage in all three of their last World Cups.

    Yes - they always get hyped up probably due to one man.

    Also Mexico tend to get through the group stages then lose in the last 16.

    Looking forward see how this Argentina side do, look to have some great talent up front obviously but defensively could be a cluster****.

    Going to be a little one sided, just can't see Argentina having much of the ball.

    5-0 to the Saudi's.

    Looks pretty full to me? Is there a higher tier we can't see that's pretty much empty?

    If this is given as a penalty after the one on Maguire was ignored...
    That's ridiculous.

    That’s less of a pen than the Maguire one and it completely kills this game. Brilliant

    The Maguire one is the most blatant I've ever seen. Two arms wrapped around him. Utterly ridiculous.
