i dont know enough to make a proclamation about the WC itself but it's crazy to see where they are now versus where they were three years ago. they are lucky to be alive, literally, but they haven't played like it.

it's a shame chile got squeezed out. i think of the SoAm teams brazil obviously is playing at a real high level. colombia could have a run in them but they need all their core guys fit at the same time, something that they haven't had yet. falcao looks great. james and cuadrado just good at times. if they have 2014 cuadrado and 2014 james with 2017 falcao, they can wreck shit. probably they will fizzle out early though.
