Re: WORLD CUP

oh i wish for Germany and Italy.

Germany because it's my favorite team.
Italy because it has Totti and Buffon, and i kinda like its cattenacio-jutsu.

i dont like brazil, but i must admit brazil is the strongest team at the moment; but remember, anything is possible in football.
i mean, who did predict greece would win the cup in 2004?

Re: WORLD CUP

Re: WORLD CUP

i know- you can count them out. they are ranked #5 in the world now. But i still think brazil seems to have the best crop of players yet. Nevertheless, the world cup is known for showing the rise of a lot sleepers. i expect surprises.

Re: WORLD CUP

I'll be supporting my homeland of Australia until we get booted out of the first stage...doh!  We're probably the worst team there.  After that I'll support England because that is where I live now.

France are strong...hey!  You've got Henry!! He's awesome (I'm Arsenal supporter). 

Nobody wants Brasil to win again.  It's too boring. Wonder if any of their players will get arrested for stealing jewellry again? Heh...

I think Italy will be a team to watch - they play attacking football nowadays!  But they will continue to be drama queens and will probably end up blaming their exit on yet another conspiracy theory.

Germany will be boring but efficient as usual and easily progress through the stages.

USA will be strong.  Last time against Germany they gave a very good account of themselves.  I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do.

Re: WORLD CUP

Of course Brazil is the strongest team.
Germany has the advantage of being at home.
Italy has the strongest team in 20 years (yeah, even better then when Baggio was playing)

For me, it's between those 3 teams.

Sry Goldknight but as I stated somewhere else before. Football is dedicated to Europe and a few South American Nations.
USA should stick to Basketball and American Football. Well since Im from germany but half turkish and Turkey doesnt participate I go for Germanys rivals Holland. I just love to piss my family and friends off lol.

IKE HOLLAND !!!

Re: WORLD CUP

The reason why America (and Australia) aren't serious challengers in soccer is because their best athletes go into other sports considered better, or more popular . If only these two countries would take it seriously, they'd be kicking ass like they do in every other sport. So maybe the rest of the world should be grateful! Besides, didn't you see America play Germany in the last world cup? They were bloody good! I wouldnt be so smug.

 

[rykarreolacr]

Re: WORLD CUP

USA has everything, football is the only sport we, poor people, enjoy. Is something you carry in the blood, is the only language that everyone speaks around the world.
In Costa Rica, the first day of this World Cup will be an obligatory free day for everyone!!!!

USA should stick to other sports, if they win a World Cup, it will be like destroying the dream of 6 billions people, since amercans simply don't giva shit about "soccer".

I'm sorry if I offend someone with this

Re: WORLD CUP

very true what you said there Kadoman, if america for one promoted more football i think usa would surely be a team to fear but as it stands they are good, but i dont think good enough to beat the top europeans and south americans. but as said by ryka if america wins, it will feel like a middle finger to all the other countries who only specialise in football (not soccer)

i for one will support England, (come on england) but i dont think we will get to the final although we will do well with the likes of Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney (who's now injured, and that means we have now lost our best forward) england still have a team to fear, so watch out.

to watch out for i think will be obviously brazil and germany, but i think we will be suprised by one of the eastern teams this year round. i love underdogs

 

[bigank]

Re: WORLD CUP

Germany because they are good

 

[kadoman]

Re: WORLD CUP

Rooney will play. He'll pass the fitness test. This year is one of the best chances England stands...I know they say that every year, but this time, it really is true. Esp. if Rooney is playing (and Campbell scores headers like he did in the Champions League final the other night!). Becks is a good captain, but he's not as fit has he used to be. He won't be quite the engine he always has been, though having said that, since he's been Real Madrid, his ball skills have improved beyond belief.

Yeah, I think Japan might give it a go too.

 

[abdulahi]

Re: WORLD CUP

Underdog Japan, can’t wait to see them play, I remember last time they surprised me greatly.

Lets just hope Rooney passes the fitness, otherwise we’re stuck with the ex boy genius Owen and tall man crotch(I think I spelled his name wrong, oh well). although I agree with you kadoman about Becks not being as fit as he used to, I don’t think his ball skills have improved that much whilst at Real Madrid, but he is a good captain and has a great team behind him. But I think our tramp card this year round is Mr Gerrard. Did any of you see the Liverpool vs. West ham game last week? Even though west ham should have won, one Liverpool player stood out to be the best on that pitch (two goals and one assist). And his been doing that all year round. Also another guy to watch out for is Lampard. With these two in particular I think we stand a great chance getting far in the world cup.

Let’s just hope we don’t have to face Brazil at the beginning of the knock out stages, but Germany would be nice. There is a great rivalry between England and Germany. I think Germany is just about winning win-loss ratio over England

Re: WORLD CUP

BRAZIL will win..... Ronaldinho + Ronaldo + Kaka + Robinho + Adriano + Roberto Carlos + Emerson + Cafu.... which other team can match that? like Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said..." if u can stop Ronaldinho in a match, can u stop Ronaldo or Kaka at the same time? " I am a brazil fan(since world cup 94)... and always will be.
