World Cup

[RaulRey]

What a luck for Mexico to open the WC against the host, I hope the refs don't spoil us the game.

Btw, no group of death this time.

I support Serbia, Portugal, Brazil and Slovakia. The two latter have greater chances for advancing. As for the world champions-it's extremely difficult to predict them, but at least for the 1/8-finals my predictions are:

France-Nigeria-->France
Argentina-South Africa (don't forget they're hosts!)-->Argentina
Germany-Slovenia (they can beat USA!)-->Germany
England-Ghana (here's the toughest choise between Serbia and Ghana)-->England
Holland-Slovakia (they must beat Paraguay!)-->Holland
Italy-Denmark (Italy always lucky!)-->Italy
Brazil-Switzerland-->Brazil
Spain-Portugal (Cote d'Ivoire are very strong but let's support Portugal-->Spain

After this phase every result is possible. Yet Brazil, Spain and Netherlands have greater chances for me! Let's hope the Eastern-European teams like Serbia, Slovenia and Slovakia do well! Serbia has a very strong squad but they have to beat Ghana...

After this phase every result is possible.

Agree with that


@RaulRey, i kind of agree dont agree the group G is, like people or saying, i think the hardest group is Group D.

So frustrating that we get excited about the draw but then have to wait 7 months before it starts

[KidRapper]

How on earth did USA & England ended up on the same group?!?!

Thats not fair!

I'm supporting,

England
U.S.A &
Germany.

Anyway, USA isn't in a tight situation as they were last time. (That was the group of death, right Raul bro?)

By the way, looks like we have a lotta England supporters this time! Right Paul?

Ask Fifa

I dunno, cant say England or liked much, maybe its the arrogance of us, but our squad is on paper as good as spains, we was the highest scorers of any European team in qualifying, and people saying it was an easy group, Both Croatia,Ukraine ranked in the top 15 and Belarus no pushovers.
Capellos found a way to play both lampard an gerrard in same team, am confident if we stay away from injuries, we can beat anyone and win it.

Last world cup the group of death was at least at the beginning: Argentina, Netherlands, Cote d'Ivoire and Serbia & Montenegro.

Brazil is in a group of death

Maybe, but Korea DPR (the inexperienced one) and Cote d'Ivoire have little or no chances, in a group of death there must be at least three teams with big expectations.

[kencck]

we can expect Argentina, England, Germany, Netherland, Italy, Brazil and Spain to proceed to the last 16 from their respective groups...

Hey mate, they still haven't finalized the quad, right?

Do you think that both Beckham & Owen will be in??
